I was on a year abroad exchange and had a professor on his 80s (who was also on an exchange). He was teaching a class called Organisational Change. On the first day he said to the class, "what is the most important problem facing the world today?" After much discussion, the class settled on climate change. He then proceeded to tell us Organisational Change was not important in the context of real problems, and as we decided on climate change, that's what he would teach us. And he taught it well.
