Hello people! In this opportunity I’m going to write a brief review about Sir Ken Robinson's talk video "Do Schools Kill Creativity".
What can I say about it? Brilliant, is a clever and entertaining way to show the actual educational system reality, that doesn’t nurture the creativity and restrict the dynamic, plastic, natural intelligence of children.
We have to think about what is the function of the educational system, is to make people more intelligent or creative? The educational system is built to help people to fit in a particular economic system, to make good workers. It restricts the human capacities to a certain “kind” of intelligence according the interests of the market. The students commonly are mere listeners in this system, forced to retain the information given by teachers. The schools system doesn’t help to develop the critical thinking in children, they are punished if they have different ideas, and things like this undermine the creativity.
Well, remember to see the video, and always think by yourself!
Bye!

My future...
Well, I don’t have many expectations about my future; I prefer to live the present, so I don’t know certainly what I will do in five years more.
Nevertheless I have some idea about my future, a vague one. In five years more I will be working, earning money to pay my university debts (about six millions of Chilean pesos), therefore it’s very probable that I would be still living with my parents, saving all the money I can (food, rent, etc.).
In five years more I will be working as a psychologist, I don’t know what specialty, but I know what approach, the cognitive behavioral one.
Personally, I will be single, because I don’t want to marry in any future. Maybe I will have a girlfriend, or two hahaha, the future is very unpredictable.
An ideal future will be one where I have good health and job. It will be ideal that in my future I would be practising Taekwondo, my favorite sport. And finally the most important issue about my future, I really hope to be alive in five years more.
Thanks for reading,

The best in my area...
Choose the best in Psychology is like to choose the best man in all time sports, very difficult because psychology, like sports, have many different areas. Nevertheless, if I have to choose someone I will choose B. F. Skinner.
Burrhus Frederic Skinner (March 20, 1904 – August 18, 1990) was an American psychologist, author, inventor, advocate for social reform, and poet. In few words I chose him because his contributions to the Experimental Psychology development and by his efforts to make psychology a science. By the way, he founded his own school of experimental research psychology—the experimental analysis of behaviour. He discovers the power of reinforcement on behaviour and develop the operant conditioning. Also he was a prolific author who published 21 books and 180 articles.
