Has Chinese become the international language?
chris said:What has the government done to assure the long term growth of the economy and the elimination of poverty? From what I see they have just doled out money in subsidies without job training programs, without seriously improved education to help people deal with a changing world. The Kirchners made a big deal out of reviving the railways. Where are the public works projects? Where is the revitalized rail network? I wanted to travel to Pinamar by train -- the train has been suspended due to very poor operating conditions. Why is it that despite the growth of the tourist industry, few people speak English? Why isn't the government addressing this? How is it possible that the President of a major Latin American nation can not even speak the English language? Rather than create a whole class of people dependent on the government, why doesn't the government do something to deal with the root problems of poverty - lack of education, in particular? Secondly job creation through government programs such as the one I mention: development of the railways. That is just one example. There are a lot of projects that could be done.

Whether we like it, hate it or are indifferent, English happens to be the de facto international language for the time being.chris said:A President who has a working knowledge of English is a reasonable expectation in the 21st century. A national effort to improve and expand English language education is essential in a globalized world, hardly a question of colonialism.
Well, it does to some extent.Philsword said:Good points, all of this is needed education, infrastructure, training. Why doesn't it happen?
TOTALLY FALSE. You sound like an anti-peronist, a "gorilla" (somebody that opposes anything that comes from the Peronist party or any initiative from any movement with low-class roots. Railways deteriorated since the 1970s, especially during the military dictatorship, and were destroyed by M*N*M in the 1990s, following the advice of Washington and Chicago, of course.The railways deteriorated after Peron nationalized them.
