Cisneros...

referred to fallen empires, such
as the Spanish, Austrian-
Hungarian, Napoleonic and
British.
Paul Kennedy's book "The
Rise and Fall of the Great
Powers" inspired Cisneros to
analyze America's situation.
"It's almost as if a country
reaches a position of a world
power, or empire, and is then
faced with the responsibilities
of maintaining this power.
"I think something
profound is happening, a new
sociology," said Cisneros. He
pointed to two areas where
conflict will most likely occur
in the next 59 years: increases
in the elderly and minority
populations.
An older America will have
difficulty identifying with the
younger generation's values,
said Cisneros

"We are headed for a
demographic collision," he
continued.
Another area of conflict
will result from larger numbers
of blacks, hispanics and other
minority groups, who may
have different cultures and
values than the traditional
white male.
Throughout his "dialogue,"
with the audience, Cisneros
stressed a need for individuals
to make a "commitment to
community. We need to invest
in the human capital
infrastructure, such as higher
education, retraining, and
literacy programs."
Regarding education as an
investment in America's future,
Cisneros would like to see
changes in how students learn.
"Instead of the three R's, we
should be teaching the three
C's: calculate, compute and
communicate."
