World Literacy and Digital Literacy: Educating Tomorrow’s Responsible Tech Leaders
摘要
This chapter introduces the concept of world literacy as a crucial competency for future tech leaders. While digital literacy equips individuals with the technical skills needed to navigate modern technology, world literacy encompasses a broader understanding of cultural, ethical, historical, and ecological dimensions. It emphasizes the development of virtues, critical judgment, and a holistic worldview necessary to navigate complex societal and technological challenges responsibly. The chapter explores how humanism fosters character development and curiosity about the world, laying the groundwork for ethical decision-making and responsible innovation. Practical steps for integrating world literacy into corporate practice are also discussed, highlighting how organizations can foster sustainable leadership. Ultimately, the chapter argues that world literacy, combined with technical expertise, is essential for shaping responsible tech leaders who can balance innovation with ethical and societal considerations.
