reaches of space; (4) The de
mands of minority groups for
a larger share of the products
of our society and for a lar
ger role in the process by
which decisions affecting our
lives are made; (5) The Viet
nam War and all of its rami
fications; (6) A massive and
accelerated wave of inflation,
tremendous growth of the cre
dit card economy (7) The fin
ancial plight of the cities, the
mass exodus from the cities,
decay andbankruptcy of the in
ner city in all too many cases;
and (8) The ecological encom-

/
pass — the concern for the
quality of our environment.
The human responses to
these major trends have also
had great impact on the learn
ing environment. Some of the
major forms of human re
sponses to the trends of the
decade of the sixties are these:
(1) Aggressive responses —
assassinations, rise in crime,
more bizarre crimes like
those of Charles Manson and
his followers, open season on
policemen; (2) Withdrawal re
actions — dropouts from
schools, and increasing num
ber of adult dropouts from so
ciety, the hippies; (3) The sex
ual revolution: the trend to
ward a uni-sex culture; (4)
Severe questioning of the
institutional arrangements of
our society; the emergence of
a new kind of social critic;
and (5) A cutback in support
for education because of deep
public disaffection regarding
the productivity of the educa
tion^ enterprise; and in
creasing demand for account
ability.
It will be necessary in
this new learning environ
ment that we demonstrate
clearly to the society that
supports our educational ef
forts that we are giving them
back full measure for the as
sistance that they have pro
vided to us. We will have to
prove that we have develop
ed the skills, techniques and
knowledge that are required
to provide the services that
are needed in our communi
ties. We must show that our
graduates are ready to as
sume positions of leadership
and play a significant role in
aiding the continued develop
ment and improvement of our
institutions and our society.
This now learning environ
ment presents new challenges
to all of us and we must meet
those challenges If we are to
survive.
