Want to Make Meaningful Change? Start with Shakespeare! | Carol Ann Lloyd-Stanger | TEDxChathamKent

What could a poet and playwright who lived more than 400 years ago have to say to us today? More than you might think.
Shakespeare lived in a turbulent time, full of religious and political upheaval, exploration on an unprecedented scale, remaking of nations and empires, and innovations and discoveries. He captured a sense of humanity; he described the nature of love and hate; he demonstrated the complexities of nation-building and destruction; and he shared the way simple relationships represent the past, present, and future. Shakespeare used language in ways no one had before to create worlds big enough for all of us to find ourselves.
Shakespeare changed everything. He was one of the original change makers. And he can teach us to make significant, lasting changes. After all, he’s making headlines and changing lives 400 years after his death. If you want to make important changes, the kind that improve your life and the lives of people around you, start with Shakespeare.
