2 Happy At Last.

Gallup Poll

Contributed by

Fred Dust

The predominant means of
measuring national success
is a financial metric. Some
countries however have started
making a shift from purely
monetary means of measuring
the health of their nations.

How might we
truly measure and value
well-being as much as GDP?
Vincent Cheng

Studies show that GDP growth
produces diminishing returns
for our life satisfaction and
happiness. Other factors,
like social relations, health,
meaningful work, freedom, etc.
become far more important for
our overall wellbeing.

PABLO QUINTERO
November 29, 2010, 06:17AM
Hey man, very good point there and we
definitely need everyone to apply creative
thinking in every field, the only thing i’d like
to add is that i personally believe that even
though i agree with you saying that children
should be exposed to creative thinking at an
early stage, i also believe that Design itself
is a profession that people chooses based on
their understanding of their skills and prefer-
ences, current education programs introduce a
variety of subjects in order to give students a
broader vision of the world and its complexities
and finally giving them the choice to develop
an expertise in a particular subject or profes-
sion; creative thinking can be applied from any
profession and therefore it should be actively
encouraged in every subject being taught , but
how can we do that in a more effective way
that hasn’t been tried out by the educational
systems already?

Adam Hueniken
November 29, 2010, 07:47AM
Very good point Pablo. I’m definitely in agree-
ment with the thought that design and innova-
tion can come from any profession and area.
So it’s not only providing more opportunities
to design and innovate but to provide them in
various different subject areas.

effective way to fight global

The Discussion
Arjan Tupan
December 27, 2010, 09:17AM
Important concept. The position of women
is fortunately more and more being seen as
important all around the world. The rise of
Grameen bank and micro financing is a great
example of this. Although I really feel this is an
important issue, my question is if there is not
already so much being done around this issue,
that it might be better to take more specific
action. For example how to ensure that young
girls get equal access to education.

Demian Repucci
January 03, 2011, 09:25PM
David, thanks for this concept. It is a vital issue
to be dealt with. Unfortunately made all the
more complex by the many and varied contexts
within which women and girls are repressed
and relegated. If it were simply a matter of edu-
cation that would be one thing, but too often it
is the environments and societies within which
these women live that resist any change to
the status quo. No amount of new educational
resources will help if the culture in which they
are delivered does not see women’s education
as valuable and vital also. Positive change for
women needs to happen as a change on the
larger cultural, societal and religious scale if it
is going to have a lasting effect on each woman
and girl in that community on an individual
level. Therein lies the trick, I think.
Great stuff to think about and lots of opportuni-
ties. Thanks for putting the concept in there!
