This edition’s question for debate is:
IS THE MODERN EDUCATION
SYSTEM BAD FOR YOU?
Changing Education Paradigms is
an RSA Animate video of part of
a talk given by the educationalist
Sir Ken Robinson in 2010. In it he
proposes that modern education
damages the potential of many
people. Do you agree? If so what
would YOU do to help change it?

Also for you to consider in this edition:
Life should not be a
journey to the grave with
the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and wellpreserved body, but rather
to skid in broadside in a
cloud of smoke, thoroughly
used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
“Wow! What a Ride!”
Hunter S. Thompson
Imagine that an out of control
guided bus is speeding towards
a group of five people. You are
standing on a footbridge above,
next to a large man. If you push
him off the bridge onto the track
below, his body will stop the bus
before it hits the five people. He
will die, but the five others will
be saved. Should you push the
man off the bridge? (deontology
versus consequentialism)
Artist Francis Bacon said
that chaos helped his
creativity. Which helps
you, chaos or order?
If you could ask
tomorrow a question,
what would it be?
Is Martin Luther King’s
‘I have a dream’ speech
the best in history?
