Waiting for Superman Movie Review

As I begin learning the art of blogging, I see that sharing is important. However, I see that sharing inside of a context is even more important and sharing inside of a context that others are interested in is the most important.

Last night I jumped on the subway and shot into Times Square in New York to check out a film that sheds light on the educational system in the US. Of course the people who read this blog will have likely been through the system (one or the other), most from school systems that were proving to show good results. However, there are two sides to the coin and the reality is that not all education systems are the same.

So I write this blog as more of a question of what is it other people think about the school system in the United States? Have you seen the impact that the unions have in terms of creating real change? Where will we be in 10, 20 or 50 years from today? Will the unions survivalist thinking and securitized ten-year be honored the way they are today? Or will the notions of new thinking, proven results, ridding of the old system and moving into the new paradigm become the conversation of the past?

There is no doubt the right now is a shift happening in the US and in the world like never before. Some call it the new paradigm and I have heard it said that we are either serving the old paradigm or honoring the new paradigm.

What is the new paradigm?

Well it has to do with a shift in the fundamental and pervasive thinking of the older generations vs. the forward thinking of the progressive. But more importantly it has to do with enrollment of the collective mind into understanding that perhaps there exists a universal truth or absolute truth as to why we live. Why we exist and why we are here? That shift is a new idea, a new belief and new life which has to do with respect for the planet and love for our neighbors.

I plan to write more about this very topic later showing specific examples and sharing about my vision for what I am and plan to do with regard to my belief in the new paradigm. Which by the way isn't new at all, but simply that we have been distracted by the old paradigm so much that we are just now beginning to see as a whole what the impact of the old systems are and what the difference can be with a new paradigm that works. To serve our fellow man or to not? This is really the only question and once we determine our answer the next question becomes is how.

Enjoy the trailer if you haven't already seen it or share your thoughts on the movie, the system, the future of our world.
