Adora Svitak: What adults can learn from kids

While looking for results on creativity through TED talks, I came across Adora's talk on how many of the problems in the world are because of adults. At only 12 years old, she address adults straightforward and shares her stories on her experience with this situation. She believes that even though kids learn much from adults, it is time to let the adults learn from the kids. An important example is that kids should teach the teachers instead of listening to lectures all day. Smith has been helping us think for ourselves and tune deeper into our brains. Until now, I did not realize how important it was and how it will prepare us for the future. Adora also talks about how many young children want to grow up and be publishers, firefighters, princesses and many more. She shared a story with how her parents supported her dream of publishing. Most parents would have said, "Wait until your older;" however, her parents supported her dream and she published her own book, Flying Fingers. Adora has an excellent point; however, there is one small problem. Children are going to grow up to be adults. New generations are happening every day and this slowly evolves society towards different ideas because of the previous generations. If children continue to teach the adults and follow their dreams, then we will not have to worry about a never-changing society. Each person will think differently and share their ideas with many others. Adora's talk really made me think about our generation and how we can change the world.
