"There is danger of producing a society of schooled barbarians. But whose fault is it? The young these days it is said are not attracted to the classics; they are said to be anti-historical. But they do respond with enthusiasm to history, to the great tradition altogether, if offered to then in a form that makes it relevant to the experiences, their society, their needs. Older people, the participants in continuing education, usually cannot get enough of ethics, of history, of great novels, of anything that helps them understand their own experience, the challenges they face in their own life and in their own work. And they also crave the fundamentals of science and technology, the ways and values of government and politics; in short, everything that constitutes a broad liberal education"- Peter Drucker, The New Realities
