Culture Vulture

Each time I pick up Outliers to read, I gain a new perspective by the time I put it down.

Today’s exploration led me into pondering how much our culture actually shapes us as people and how in turn, it can affect our successes and failures.

Schools Kill Creativity

“If you’re not prepared to be wrong you’ll never come up with anything original.” - Sir Ken Robinson.  As children we are never frightened of creatively exploring at the risk of being wrong, but we grow older our education system and culture aid in the unlearning of creativity and help children minimize the risk of being wrong.

Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for recreating an education that nurtures creativity.
