Education
In article, “The Practicality of the Liberal Arts Major”, Sikdes and Murray state the ability of adapt the changes and life – long learning are the keys and essential to success in today’s rapidly developed world. I strongly agree and resonate with this point of view because the century we are living in today is so highly – speed changed every day. The job market has been moving form the West to the East. For example, so many IT companies like Microsoft and Oracle have decided to move the developing departments to Asian since the cost is much lower there. The society has changed.
