I was watching a show yesterday and then when I was thinking about what to do my blog on today it popped into my head. In the show the main character was in class with her friends and the teacher was explaining an assignment. The teacher was going to talk to them individually and ask them questions about what they were interested in for a career when they graduated and what their interests were. Based on their answers the teacher picked an internship for them and they interned wherever he told them to for a week. The main characters ended up getting jobs that had nothing to do with their answers. They had to give presentations about their internships and the students learned that their careers they had thought they wanted to do did not match up with their values. At the end of the show they realized that their values would change over the years and so they couldn’t base their ideal job off of what they wanted right then because those jobs were not all that realistic and most of them thought they were going to have their perfect job right away.
When I was looking at the list of Arts of Democracy concepts, I saw the political imagination concept and thought this show fit it perfectly because it talks about futures and how those match up with our values.
