In this passionate speech to the National Education Association, Richard Dreyfuss - who has been studying civics at Oxford University for three years - talks about the need to teach civics to all of America's children.
This represent a design perspective on what values must underly how the system of American society functions, in order to preserve that system - American society's - originally intended mission. And it recognizes that the current design of the system has degenerated into one that is not currently capable of staying on course to that originally intended future.
Enjoy!

Welcome to "Think Differently"
The Mission of "Think Differently" is to champion and teach the science of thinking like a designer.
"Think Differently" is for people who recognize that the greatest challenge humanity faces is NOT global warming or nuclear proliferation.
Think Differently" is for people who recognize that the greatest challenge humanity faces is that we are still trying to solve our problems using the same kind of thinking that created these problems in the first place (to paraphrase Einstein).. and that we must teach people the kind of thinking necessary to get us out of this mess: Systems Thinking.
"Think Differently" is for people who know that the current design of our world is based on the obsolete fundamental design assumption that there is not enough for everyone and that working to bring this flawed assumption to the attention of the public - coupled with a clear vision of what a world based on an "abundance mental model" design assumption could look like - is of absolutely critical importance if we are ever to create a world beyond war in our lifetimes.
If you have ever felt that you see connections and patterns between people and events that others don't, you probably have a natural ability to think the way Einstein said we must in order to solve society's problems. If you feel others don't understand you for that reason, take heart... and please watch the 1-minute video below. It will show you that you are in good company. Welcome!
