Bring On the learning Revolution By Ken Robinson

Overview

Learning can be a revolution. As years have gone by, new ideas of learning has been introduced to the education system. Are this ideas healthy for our society or are these changes hurting us? The speaker Ken Robinson mentions that people in everyday basis do not enjoy what they do but they try to endure it. Most of these people look forward to the weekend as they don't have to go work or school. Only a minority of these people actually enjoy each day of their lives. They might choose a certain profession only because it pays good money or go to school to obtain certain degrees because they parents wanted them to do it. There seems to be limited freedom of choice in today's society. Kids as young as 3 years old are being looked as if they should have accomplished lot in life. Each individual should be given their space to grow and flourish according to their age. Education should be fulfilling peoples spirits not only their minds. Education can also be flexible so that we are able to personalize it to make it interesting and thus bringing joy to our lives. We as individuals should not be kept in the dark but be able to explore our surroundings and expand.

The Function of life By Jiddu Krishnamurti

OVERVIEW

      As a student, one always questions on the topic of education. How is Physics and Calculus helpful in our everyday life? As an individual, we spend most of our life getting educated, working and parenting. The cycle continues from generation to generation. Is this how we spend the rest of our life? We follow routines day after day.
      The quote which caught my eye from the article was that " Life is the poor; life is meditation; life is what we call religion, and it is also the subtle, hidden things of the mind- the envies, the ambitions, the passions, the fulfillments and anxieties". The experiences of everyday life makes us the person we are today. Since the day a individual is born he/she follows a routine day in and day out. Sometimes the same aspects of the day is in repetition. Sometimes we are not aware of what happens in our surrounding as the only thought we carry is based around our lives.
