Its true that the establishment of a global university would help in solving the world's most persistent social problems.but there exist some risks too which need to be minimized else the whole purpose of the university gets defeated.
The biggest argument in favour of a global university is that its students and faculty would bring together diverse cultural and educational perspectives to the problems.But at the same time an overly diversifeid academic community might impede communication among students and faculty.However ,in my view,considering the growing awareness of other people and cultures,created by the mass media and internet have created ,this concern is unwarrented.Moreover ,most of the principles used in solving the social problems know no national boundaries.
Another compelling argument in favor of the global university(GU)is the global nature of certain problems.for ex. the depletion of atmospheric ozone,cutting of rain forests,etc.
These are the problems which have endangered the life of various life species incluyding humans.leading to the extinvction ogf some of them.This threatens to disturb the delicate ecological balance necessary for the survival of other species including mankind.
similarly ,a political or economical disaster in a country would mean trouble for the foreign companies in that country.thus ultimately affecting the economy of other countries too.Solving these problems requires global participation-which can be facilitated by a global university.
While the establishmenbt of such a university would help solve many of our most pressing social problems,the estavblishment of such a university poses certain problmes which need to be addressed in order to achieve the objectives of the university.All nations would need to agree on which probvlems demand the university's attention and resources,which areas of research are worthwhile;as well as agreeing on thge policies and procedures of the university.
