Main issue
To what extent does the education system in the US intertwine knowledge and business? How can education embody the idea of the American dream?
Final Task
- A: EOC – You are a graduating student in a US University of your choice. TED Talk has invited you because they think you have great ideas concerning education in the US. Create a two-minute presentation on how students’ lives could be improved. You can, of course, give some examples of the universities that we studied in class.
- B: EOC – You are a journalist for the BBC. Present an innovative American University (one we did NOT study in class, of course!) and an American technologist with big ideas about education (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg). It will be a two-minute presentation.

Don't forget to show pictures of the college so that we can all see what it's like to attend classes there!
