# Sir Ken Robinson: On Changing Paradigms (and how even sympathetic editors can negatively impact content)

## [Sir Ken Robinson: On Changing Paradigms (and how even sympathetic editors can negatively impact content)](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/sir-ken-robinson-on-changing-paradigms-and-how-even-sympathetic-editors-can-negatively-impact-content)

    28th Nov 2010   [education](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:education#body-wrapper) [media](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:media#body-wrapper)  

If I have any living heroes in this world, [Sir Ken Robinson](https://www.sirkenrobinson.com/) would be chief among them. A friend posted a link to the short video below. When I watched it, I realized that the editing had actually altered the impact of Sir Ken’s lecture to the [Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce](https://web.archive.org/web/20150226040933/https://www.thersa.org/) (RSA). It exaggerated his stance on medicaton and minimized many of his other points.

If you have a chance, please watch **BOTH** videos, not only to learn what one of the most eloquent living speakers on Education has to say, but also to see how even a sympathetic editor can impose their own biases upon the material they edit.
