I read an article by Albert Sumell I don’t want to be mooc’d in the Chronicle Review and it got me tearing up. It made me re-realize how human everyone is and how those in the older generation resist change because the change effects them more than anyone else. Sumell says, “When I talk about creative destruction with my students now, I am not quite as dogmatic as I used to be. I tell them that there are exceptions to every theory. I don t tell them that I hope that I am one of them.”
Change is constant, but so is fear. While there are those who will benefit from change, there will also be those who are deathly afraid of it. While we can’t stop it, we can at least empathize.
