world experience. Also, traveling to other parts of the world and seeing how other people live under differing systems is also a good eye opening lesson. More Americans should travel and have a chance to as young adults to attend college or roam a bit without being saddled to enormous debts.

I actually wish as part of a govt initiative that every senior year student be allowed to live abroad in an exchange of some sort. It would help them to figure out who they are and what the world looks like outside of their world view. It certainly helped me to live with a family for a few weeks in Spain outside of Madrid. Its interesting to hang out with other people of your age in different places. It takes no time at all before everyone is asking questions of how the other one lives and how to swear properly in a different language LOL. (teacher's don't teach you that one.)
