Our doodling activity this week reminded me of a teaching technique my favorite International Studies professor employed multiple times during my international development course work. The YouTube video below is a part of a series of RSA Animations. Many of the talks discuss sociological, cultural, political or economic questions and controversies, but what makes them truly intriguing is the accompanying animation; as the lecture develops, the viewer watches the drawing happen before his/her/their eyes. The topics of these videos are often radical and challenge the common viewpoint of many institutions of our world today. The viewer is pulled along on this critically reflective journey with the aid of a fascinating, expanding, complex 'doodle'.
The video I chose to include below ("First as Tragedy, Then as Farce") critically engages topics of capitalism, charity and 'corporate responsibility'.
