Jul 28 2011: Change the educational system to accomodate fostering creativity aside from intelligence like Sir Ken Robinson suggested.
This is not just about education... by stressing on creativity it focus on what the student like.. passionate about... when what you want and passionate about is channeled.. you WILL BE happy. Happiness brings out the best of people.
Someone by the name of Judge Pau shared this comment on behalf of answering directly the question at hand (Name ONE idea that you think has the potential to make your city/state/country/ 'our
world' a better place?). I decided to comment on this comment (and yes, I did have a hard time debating if I should answer another comment) because it's a topic that I have thought about, as a student, for a long time. In general I feel confident to say that I enjoy learning, that is, about the topics which I am passionate about. To me it feels like there are many topics which I learn at school which should be optional. I end up spending hours craming information which I frankly do not care about and eventually making me unhappy. If I were to focus on what I am really passionate about I could get a deeper understanding of what is interesting to me and be happy at the same time. There is a down side to this, what constitutes a mandatory educational topic? Who gets to decide this?

Content Analysis for Community
After breaking down the characters from one of my favorite shows, Community, I noticed the trend of stereotypes the media conveys including that blondes are clumsy, old people are old fashioned, and that African American men are good at sports. This variety of a character mix makes for a range of different angles of humour, whether it be dark humour, stereotypical humour or slapstic comedy.
