My topic : Do schools kill creativity? (Schools are still killing creativity?)

What I hope to learn from this source: I want to find some supporting examples that prove schools kill creativity. Also I want to know how people think about relationship between schools(education system) and creativity.

Notes:
1.I am surpirsed at that everyone has creativity because I thought someone special, only few of the world has creativity.

2.

More than half feel that creativity is being stifled by schools

(in US, UK, Germany, French, and Japan).

3. “The truth is that everyone has great capacities but not everyone develops them. One of the problems is that too often our educational systems don’t enable students to develop their natural creative powers. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. The result is that we’re draining people of their creative possibilities and, as this study reveals, producing a workforce that’s conditioned to prioritize conformity over creativity.” -> I was impressed because it is main reason why I choose this topic.

4.http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity -> Ken Robinson explains how schools kill creaiticity.

REASEARCH PROPOSAL


What is my current topic?  Korean independent culture

Actually I try to research this topic last year to write a paper. However my research proposal was not passed. So I want to finish my research during this performance test. I want to find how Korean indie culture can communite with the public well. I will find some problems of Korean indie scene and  suggest solutions.

What are my guiding questions?
Does Korean independent culture communicate with the public well?

As I mentioned before, I want to persuade Korean indie scene to change itself and make Korean poeple to have interest in indie culture.

I think some of readers will have questions about what is indie culture or indie scene referring exactly because it would be little bit unfamiliar to them.

What are my current thoughts?
I know the reality of Korean independent culutre.
It is lack of public relations, professional manpower, and unltimately money.
Also Korean public is full of the propensity to consume and bias.

I think Korean independent culture does not communicate with the public well.
It has many problems.

What is the opposition?
Opponents will say Korean indie scene has huge maniac groups. They will strongly deny that now the scene goes worse and worse. I think they will suggest the fact that now more and more people find indie culture and consume it. However I don't think it is caused by communication between the culture and the public. I think there is something else that grows the scene.
