THEN I had another link to Beijing Youth Voices which gives an account of the common daily life of a senior Chinese student. This could also be an interesting read for you to get an insight into life in China.

This teacher has taken an important, controversial topic, and attempted to start a global conversation. He started out with an earlier video titled, “The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See!” It got a lot of views, and also a ton of criticism. He then acknowledges that he had a giant hole in the original video, and then created a series of videos attempting to address every criticism of the original, with the How It All Ends video being the jumping off point.

I think this is a very interesting approach, even if the topic wasn’t so huge or as controversial as climate change. Lay out an argument, address and attempt to refute all the criticism, put it all out there on YouTube to be freely distributed, commented on, criticized, discussed, and generally put through the wringer, and then also provide some next steps for those interested in doing something about the issue.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with his findings?
