English 1A Homework: Response to TED Talk Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the Learning Revolution

Most individuals find it difficult when trying to figure out what is that they want out of life for their future and try to define their answers by find it difficult when trying to figure out what is that they want out of life for their future and try to define their answers by rushing things out the door. Lots of us tend to find ourselves confused in such situations and it can be stressing how long it could take when we are unaware of passions or talents. In the past couple of months I’ve meet several people, from teenagers to sixty year elders, some that have had already decided what they wanted to major on and others who had no idea of what they are getting involved into. As I got to know more and more people I’ve realized that “the human flourishing is not a mechanical process [but rather] is an organic process” as Ken Robinson mentions. For a couple of us it takes more than time to officially state what we want or what we may be good at, our minds and emotions are constantly changing as we grow up and experience new things. Experience is required in life in order to find our talents it takes little steps in order to find what truly motivates and sparkles our souls our passions. Parents, teachers, and other society members tend to have high expectations from the young coming generations. We are often expected to take huge steps in educational matters, from being a recently graduated high school student to suddenly becoming a doctor, but no. There should be a stop sign to the pressure that’s being brought upon us from others’ anticipations. We all need time to become fully developed and be able to flourish our passions what really screams inside of us, we need time to define our souls, the organic process requires time it is the human development.
