Introvert vs. Extrovert

     After watching the Ted Talk video in class about how education destroys creativity, I was curious too see other topics discussed on this program and watched a few on my own.  The one that really captivated my attention was "The Power of an Introvert" discussed by Susan Cain.  An introvert is defined as a shy, reticent person; whereas an extrovert is the opposite - an outgoing, overtly expressive person.  Cain introduces an important statistic that three out of four people are introverts but are pressured to be an 'ideal extrovert' by social pressures or the school environment.  School environments enforce children to work together in a group effort. In some aspects, this principle is great.  It teaches the children how to work in a group and exchange ideas, important tools necessary to obtain as an adult.  However, it is not good to constantly enforce group projects because eventually people may lose sense of their individuality.  By pressuring introverts to be more extroverted, society loses the capacity of this generation's introverts.  Cain adds that introverts exceed extroverts in academics because of their work ethic, so they should not be pressured to change. Being either an introvert or an extrovert is great, society needs both. She concludes that schools should "stop the madness for constant group work" and that everyone should "unplug and get inside of their own minds" to discover themselves.  What do you think? Should the education be set up specifically for extroverts or introverts? What are some ways to incorporate both work ethics and personalities into improving the education system?
