How to Change the World

Michael Roth is generally quite captivating, and the contecnt overall id good and interesting.However, I feel the videos are at times very unnecessarily dragging.

The lectures, leaded by Prof. Michael Roth, showcase interesting conversations with other experts about their attempts to make positive change in the world, and the weekly assignments are a good way for students to synthesise the learning of each week.As a downside, I found very little participation in the discussion forums.

Taboo topics such as animal agriculture (which is the main driver for climate change) are not addressed at all.

This course begins with an introductory week about social goods and then goes on to cover 4 major problems the world faces over 4 weeks: poverty, climate change, disease, and gender inequality.
