A movie, a museum, a K12 institute, and evolving systems

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Sun, 07/18/2010 - 1:44pm.

From Inception, the Constitution, education, and life itself

"we each live, as the movie illustrates, in a set of multiple interdependent, interactive realities/worlds that we construct and reconstruct ourselves by noticing differences between our expectations and our experiences, as well as  differences among our expectations and experiences in the different worlds/realities we inhabit.  In so doing, we both are influenced by and influence the worlds/realities of others with whom we interact ...

That we are all "created equal" can be understood not as we are all "created the same" but rather as an acknowledgment that we each live in our own somewhat different reality/world, and that that diversity is valuable to all of us. And "checks and balances" can be understood as a mechanism to assure it will always be so, that no one world/reality shall ever be allowed to dominate all others ...

Might such an evolving systems perspective give us a new and useful way to think about a variety of things, education among them?"
