A question to ponder on.
- Thread starter S O F I
- Start date
If somebody could provide me with some brainstorm ideas, I would be grateful.
contribute. go to school. study. learn. get a job. go to college. get a greater job. don't abuse the system (i.e. go on well fare because your too lazy to get a job, or collect unemployment for the wrong reasons) , serve your country. help others. volunteer time. obey the law. be a leader for others.
does that help at all or am i really high?

I think you should look at it as all eyes on you, society looks at what you do and say. The most important thing is being able to back your stance up, learn as much as you can no matter if it's street smarts or book smart. It better to be smart in something than a dumbass. Society was bulit on opinions started, start some of your own. And make a name for yourself, have a job with good standing. Obeying the law thing isn't always the smartest way to go sometimes, the law can be blind. Anything can be said in order for you to see what a "productive member in a global society" is, but saying and doing are two different things.
If the question specifies global society, then that to me has connotations which transcend national issues. You could spend some time on the role globalisation has had in generating that global society... Just a couple ideas:
- networking on the internet - by participating on this site you are engaging with people globally;
- generating global solutions to problems - working together, Kyoto Protocol for example;
- World Vision sponsor children - paying money to support a child in another country less fortunate than you.
That's all I can think of on the spot, lol. But I guess ultimately global society, to me, is about a global consciousness - the ability to view and sense a community broader than national bounds. More so than that though, the willingness to want to strenghten that society, make it function better, make a global difference - that to me is being a productive member of a global society.

Ohh, very interesting topic, I tihnk there's a lot to say about that!
Yesterday I watched a video at the uni where Peter Druker talked about many topics, and one of them was the importance of the productivity of knowledge in the 21st century. Globalization implies a changing environment, where an event that happens 5000km from where you live may have a huge impact on the economy, and even more important, the society you belong to. Last century a worker's most tool was his hands, and productivity studies in industries focused on that. Gilbreth, for example, wanted to reduce the number of movements a worker did with his hands to make him more productive.
But now Peter Druker talks about "knowledge workers", so I think our first aim should be to increase our knowledge as much as we can. Knowledge is what makes us different form others, and it's an enterprise's most important competitive advantage. And the second point is to make that knowledge productive, which involves being able to adapt it to the needs of a world where change is often unpredictable. But I think it's crucial to get that knowledge, without it you certainly can't be a productive member in a global society.
Lol, I think I only focused on management aspects (I find it so interesting), but I hope it's useful and you can get some ideas for your essay. Good Luck! :thumb:
