Schwartz talks about an abundance of neglect in different parts of systems that we as Americans are facing today. Schwartz suggests that we layout a blueprint for these different systems so it is all done in a uniform manner, which would lead to less mistakes and the same end result. This would also weed out incompetency’s, which are caused by peoples lack of interest in a job they are doing.

It seems that rules are already a staple in every crevice of our communities. There are rules for anything and everything. Schwartz brings up the point of instating a blueprint for teachers to follow so even if they have a lack of interest in there profession, our kids would not pay they cost and would still receive a good education. Although this brings up the question of would people need to be educated or certified to preform in a job. If everything is scripted doesn’t it just come down to you can learn and execute that script?

This would also severely hinder the performance of individuals who take their profession very seriously and there performance is above and beyond of what is asked of them. Sticking to the example of teachers, which Schwartz referred to in his video, creativity would be non-existent. We can all think back to teachers who have made classes interesting with there creative teaching styles. However, if Schwartz’s idea of providing a script to teachers were held true, everything would become very vanilla.

Practical wisdom is a key term in this video. Practical wisdom in short is doing the right thing and finding ways to achieve what is right. With abundance rules that are set for us, we are told what is right. Thus, eliminating the second part of practical wisdom, which is finding the way to achieve what is right.

Schwartz’s idea of making scripts cleans up the mess on the bottom of the spectrum.
