RSA Animat
In the video Sir Ken Robinson explains his theories on changing the education, by doing so he attracts the audience with detailed illustrations that clear his point easier. There are ways in fact that there are similarities to the society of Shakespeare's last novel Brave New World. The video and the novel go hand to hand, they are both based on society and the nature of human beings. In chapter 10 there is a quote that can briefly support what Sir Ken Robinson is explaining."The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately, Mr. Foster, and you will see that no offense is so heinous as unorthodoxy of behavior. Murder kills only the individual-and, after all, what is an individual?". In the beginning of the video Sir Ken Robinson explains in the first minute that cultural is one of the keys, we should all form together and build a stronger education base for the future sakes of our children's children. The quote from chapter 10 questions what are individuals considering the fact that The Brave New World is a community based society. This is all based upon globalization and coming together as a unity. Sir Ken Robinson also explains that they used better methods during their education years, so it back tracks time like the book setting. The last key point was the age group of the students, he gives details how they are "organized based on factory lines" and they are put in "batches" like a community. Brave New World has a very similar structure of community like this RSA Animate video.
