Double Journal Entry

Quote: Lucas habitually dresses in jeans, sneakers, and work shirts -- a man looking like there is much work to be done. For the American educational system, he says, that work must begin now.

Response: The American educational system does have some ancient learning styles. I agree with George Lucas on this topic very much indeed. He makes some good suggestions when he discusses in his article of how to bring these lessons to the classroom. By incorporating a circle of communication, starting with music and painting, to the written communication and spoken communication, and end up with math which is the most precise of all. This will allow the student to learn more effectively. He brings to the table an idea of making a per4son excited by using the color red, or using a diagonal line, but if wanting to make a person calm you would use a straight line or a calmer color other than red, such as purple. George states that we as a nation want to spend most of our money towards our military rather than spending on education. He says “It's not a great idea to want to take over the world if you don't know what to do with it and how to run it. Nothing is accomplished through conquest. Everything is accomplished through education.”
