            The video "Changing Education Paradigms"  produced by RSAnimate talks about modern education and learning styles. This matters to myself, education, and the world. First, this matters to myself because the video talks about how a college degree is not a guarantee to a job. I always thought that is how the world usually operated, but as mentioned in the video a college degree can limit your mind set to only one of your abilities. In addition this matters to education because the video discuses how attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is negatively affecting education. Kids are medicated to perform efficiently in class and that isn’t the way kids must learn. The medicine they are taking normally shuts their senses down, and the theory is that by anaesthetizing them, they are suddenly capable of learning. In reality when they are aesthetic they perform at their best, so really instead of putting them to sleep, they should be woken up! This matters to the world because the goal is to enable all the students on the country to know themselves culturally. This would allow students to engage and contribute globally. In conclusion, “Changing Education Paradigms” matters to myself, education, and the world.
