Sir Ken Robinson Vid

Sir Ken Robinson has a very interesting point of view on things but he also makes a lot of important points that became clear and believable. Throughout the video I was really surprised by the relation he made with our current mind set for society and children along with how the world and soceity we live in is what set the standards for which we think is acceptable made complete sense. I also really liked the point he made on how our society today has changed in the way we want to diagnose the many children or few adults with a disease like ADD or ADHD for the reason why some children can't live up to those "standards" or why they are unable to meet the criteria we have created. So now doctors think we can "cure" them by giving them a drugging them and giving them a pill that will sedate them so they can sit still with every other child in the classroom. So they can fit and be the same as every other child who doesn't suffer from ADD or ADHD. This is similar to Brave New World because in the novel everyone is born exactly the same way and for a certain purpose and once someone seems to be thinking differently or anything that strays away from the "norm" they exile them or like our society they drug them. Just like today, how we are giving heavy drugs to the children who think differently so that they can fit in and meet the expectations is just like how the controllers in Brave New World would drug anyone who was different or thought differently so that they could fit in with the "norm". If fitting in means being drugged and not being able to think naturally for myself then count me out cause that's not thinking at all.
