World We Dare to Imagine 1

From this quote, there was only one thing that immediately came to mind. Education. Not teaching subjects like math and history, although those subjects are important too, but I’m talking about the education of human value. It is so easy to lose sight of the fact that we are all humans despite our ethnic, financial, and political backgrounds. Modern society has created a global environment that preaches nationalism and distrust of those who are different instead of learning from those who are different. If we started teaching all children from a young age about the fundamental value in each human life then these individuals could pursue a purpose in life that aims to maximize the future value of the planet rather than choosing a purpose that maximizes their short-term profits. There has been a recent, sporadic shift to this mindset of accountability and reformation of traditional systems that have been holding certain communities back. But it is challenging to achieve change without all humans sharing this same mindset, especially with borders and varying global structures that propel people to survive rather than to create in this world. Teaching children the right way, in order for them to develop the right way, will form a new culture of innovation and passion for creating a better world.

    Hey Connor. I had similar ideas of promoting education of people's different cultures and living environments. In order to take next steps, I might form a group to develop curriculum that teaches young children about societies across different borders and different ways of thinking. Super cool idea.

    Hey Conner! I absolutely agree with your take on nationalism often making us feel even more distanced than we should as global citizens. There is much to learn from people who have different cultural backgrounds than us. As Adam said, I agree that the next step could be to develop a curriculum that you think effectively teaches the topic of human value. What do you the content of that curriculum would look like?

    Hi Connor. I agree that we should be educating people about different cultures. For the next steps some type of curriculum definitely makes sense. I was thinking YouTube would be a great platform for this.

    Hey Connor, I completely agree that besides the traditional subjects taught in classes there should be more focus on what you brought up. Being more aware of cultures will bring us together however I think that it is hard to find an objective truth that can be equally taught to billions of children around the world when just like you said there are obstacles such as varying global structures and borders.

Blog Post : Who You Are

Hello, My name is Connor Bobis and I am from Ventura, CA. I came from a small California beach town but I am headed to a large urban area like San Francisco even though I have never been to the bay before. My plan to get there is to work in a few banking and finance-related jobs in order to get the valuation experience I need to end up on the venture capital side later in my career. I am like my parents in the sense that I have a strong work ethic and the resilience needed to thrive despite the environment. With this being said, I am unlike my parents with my unmatched curiosity about how the world has come to be and question why we accept the things that we accept to be true. Recently, I have made the switch to operate under my own expectations rather than other people’s expectations for myself. This is more complicated in my family situation where I was raised by a single mother and the eldest of two brothers, but I have fully made the transition to work under my expectations and pr...

 Bouldering   The subject of my random post goes to my most recent love, rock climbing. Bouldering, top roping, and sport climbing represent the three popular realms of rock climbing. Bouldering involves climbing short, challenging routes (called "problems") with no ropes or harnesses, typically over a crash pad to save yourself from hitting the ground. This way of climbing focuses on strong movements that rely on technique by reducing the height factor. Bouldering areas are often more accessible and lend themselves to more social settings, making it a popular choice for friend meetups and intense workouts inside a gym. The picture below is of a typical outdoor bouldering setup. Top Roping With this being said, top roping involves climbing taller rocks with the safety of a rope locked in at the top of the rock. There is the belay factor, which means that there is a person (belayer) standing on the ground who is responsible for taking in slack as the climber ascends and can ca...

World We Dare to Imagine Part 3

  Education. Education is the only thing that will save our world from being harmed more than it has already been altered. And I don’t mean more math and calculus. Teaching people and informing the world of the irreversible damage that our planet has already endured is the only way for the world to grow in a positive direction. This harm extends not only to the Earth but also to the people that inhabit it. Because of this, the name of my organization is Human Educated Rights Organization, or HERO for short. HERO aims to revolutionize the global curriculum for adolescents in hopes of providing the next generation with a profound understanding and appreciation of all people, all backgrounds, and all regions by encouraging cross-border collaboration.  The Why Personally, I am passionate about the work of designing a new foundation for how kids view other kids who may look different, sound different, or think differently than the kids they see every day. Designing a curriculum tha...
