Summary Of Accounting 101 For The 21 St Century By John Petersen
John Petersen’s article, “Accounting 101 For The 21 ST Century: A Liberal Arts Education in Carbon,” brought out some prevalent points in regards to the way society has forgotten to properly educate young adults in the area of finance. I agree, “Recent graduates have a lot to learn about budgeting when they leave college” (Petersen 475). College students have to be responsible and learn to only purchase the things that they need instead of buying the things they want. Most students are just getting out on their own, and making financial decisions, but they should be learning how to balance a checkbook. Instead, many of them open credit card accounts, except student loans and find themselves in the negative.
Peterson’s college
has taken a number of steps to reduce carbon emissions and enhance environmental sustainability by implementing programs like “City Wheels, a car-sharing program, provides access to fuel-efficient auto-mobiles on campus.” While, our school offers Online classes that aids in reducing our carbon-dioxide footprint. For example:
Further, the Disciplinary Associations Network for Sustainability (www.aashe.org/dans) now includes more than 20 national disciplinary associations that have committed to focusing on climate change and environmental sustainability in curricula, research, and professional development. The group includes such diverse organizations as the American Chemical Society, the American Psychological Association, the American Philosophical Association, and the American Academy of Religion. Still needed are mechanisms for easily sharing the creative approaches that instructors and institutions are now developing for teaching climate change across the curriculum (Peterson 477).
According to Peterson I do think his points are well justified. I know his efforts are effective and great guidelines for college students.
I agree with Peterson “A key goal of a liberal-arts education in the 21st century must be to equip graduates with . . . tools and learning experiences . . . to ensure the health of our planet” (Peterson 477).
However, with that factor being addressed global warming is inevitable because we also have chemical plants that are pushing out a lot of carbon-dioxide on the daily basis.
