After watching this video and comparing it to brave new world. I have so much I would like to talk about but I cant think of how to put it in an essay format but who cares its a blog. I would first of all like to say Sir Ken Robinson seems like a man that would be a person it would be very great to talk to and have a deep conversation about anything because he seems to think deeply about things. In relation to Brave New World and his views on education. In Brave New World the quote "you do look glum! What you need is a gramme of soma." is said and this contradicts Robinson view completely. He believe ADHD is being over medicated and people are being over scared about. He does not think ADHD is not true he just thinks it is being dealt with wrongly when it comes to school. In Brave New World you take soma to suppress emotion and to suppress the person themselves, and Robinson feels the same is being done with Ritalin in relation to ADHD and Education. He feels we are holding back students and “deadening one self to whats happening” and to be honest I have to agree with him. All people learn different but by making them take these drugs we hold them back and deaden them . And like Robinson says “i know kids that are much better then other kids at the same age at different disciplines or at different times of the day or better in smaller groups then large groups or at some times they are better on there own.” just because a kid has “ADHD” doesn’t mean he is learning wrong. Robinson believes Education needs reform.

And in addition Robinson says its about conformity and standardization and that he thinks we need to go into the opposite direction. And that is the truth in my eyes. Education should be about collaboration and coming together to form and over all idea about what ever one is learning about. But education is still stuck in the past and the way it was originally coordinated in the times of the industrial evolution. This reminds me of Brave New World in the sense of how people are born with out a choice for themselves and how this keeps them from changing things. And this relates to how education is still stuck in the industrialization movement in the sense of how things are ruled. Education needs to be reformed in the world of academia. And the way people control others in Brave New World relates to this.

“There was a thing as I’ve said before call Christianity” this shows how values and believes in the “new world” with the AF instead of AD and children playing naked in the garden. Some might see this as a progression like the characters of the book . But I see it as a digression the people are degrading themselves. And some might see it as they are freer this way but truly they are not. The people are being made for the governments goals. They predestine their fates and because of that I feel that they are being made less free then the modern day man. “well all I can say is that I’m going to accept his invention” this shows there dependence on machines. And what is not to say we have the same dependence on our machines of our day. Some might even say people worship there machines and an example of that is when you see the teenage girl text so fast that 160 characters are done faster then a Ferrari can get to 60. all I'm saying is that maybe our world is becoming what Aldous Huxley envisioned . Maybe at the rate we are going we will change our belief system to that as in Brave New World. I think it would be a horrible day when people throw all morals away and just do as people do in the story. But those people do not see anything wrong with it. So maybe they are not at fault . And maybe the government is to blame for all the injustice in the world. But I'm no conspiracy theorist. I’m just saying there is may things we can take and think about from the narrative. Oh Brave new world don’t let us down now

thought is free - William Shakespeare

In discussions of William Shakespeare's work “The Tempest” , one controversial issue has been colonialism in relations to The Tempest and the colonization of America by Europe. On the one hand, Aime Cesaire argues how there is a relation between Caliban from The Tempest and the Indians from America and how they were colonized by Europe and how they were both treated like savages through her rewrite or The Tempest. On the other hand, George Will contends that the primes of how works of writing should be kept to there original text and the meaning the author wished to convey and I believe Will would feel Cesaire dived to deep into it and changed the meaning the author wanted and he would disagree with her thoughts as well as he rewriting the play . Others even maintain that both are true points and they could agree with both. However, my own view is I feel you should be able to interpret works of writing how ever you want and you should be able to take the writing how ever you wish but you should not be allowed to change the original text to your perception you should only be able to rewrite it so other languages can read and understand the author's text. The author poured his or her heart out on to the pages and the deserve to keep that intact. But the read also gets to interpret the work how ever he or she wishes because I believe authors wish that about their works. I know if I wrote a book I would not want people to change what I wrote but I would like people to look at it from different point of veiws and allow it to affect their way of thinking their own way.
