The economics of globalization »

I don't even remember how I ever got to this video, but I've already seen it three times in the last year and it still impresses me. In this video, a brilliant educator teaches a few students about the economics of globalization.

 

Not only am I fascinated by the subject itself. What makes this such a memorable video to me is the educational style. A style in which a subject is approached from multiple angles, going beyond one dimensional text books and cutting through layers of vague theories. What strikes me most is how this applies to almost anything in life. We are persuaded into thinking that everything we consume in terms of media, education, religion, culture and advertising is the absolute truth, where most of the time it it simply a subjective projection of the few in control of it all.

I wish all education was like this. Until then, it is up to us to develop the skill to critically and independantly think, and to constantly question what is projected as the truth, and as a result, our reality.
