Raul Cuero's Interview About Creativity

After watching the interview on Raul Cuero's thoughts about creativity, I can say I agree with everything he said. I do believe that a person should not only be aware of what is going on around them locally, but also universally. I think that there are many connections to what is happening other places in the world that can and will affect us in our hometown area. Another point that Cuero brought up was about intellectual culture being lost in the American education system. This point stood out to be because I think myself, as well as many other individuals believe in this too and was waiting for someone to put it into words. Education has become a system where students are there to be groomed and trained for a career they will later take on in life as opposed to trying to find their strength and weaknesses. Once the strengths and weaknesses are identified, they should both be nurtured so the student can succeed in any environment, not just where they end up working. I know so many intelligent people who are turned off by the type of education system they are put into. With that being said, I also believe that learning by doing is a teaching strategy that our system also does not have. I consider myself a hands-on learner so when I am put in front of a screen and that is the only way I am expected to obtain the material, I am setting myself up for failure.
