Amy Cuddy's TED Talk

In the Ted Talk, the presenter Daniel Reisel talks about how we can change both our society and mindset. Reisel demonstrates an example about prisoners in a high- security and it's filled with aggressive prisoners. He talks about what triggers that behavior that those prisoners have and what can be the cure for them. Reisel talks about the Joe the prisoner and how he tested Joe and his inmates to see their ability to categorize images of emotions. The inmates failed to show emotions and to show physical response for the images they were showed. It showed that the inmates had a deficit in their brain that was ¨amygdala” that was proven by their MRI scan. Amygdala is known for our experience of empathy in which the inmates did not have causing

Rita Pierson is the presenter of the first Ted Talk. The title of her Ted Talk was that every kid needs a champion, and I think that title fits perfectly with what she discussed. The main topic that she talked about was how students need teachers that can form relationships. When a teacher can form relationships with their students, the students will look up to them in a different way than if the teacher could not form them. She talked about how she was able to raise her student’s self-esteem by telling them a saying, and over time they began to believe her. She was able to form a relationship with her students and in turn, was able to make them feel better about themselves. Her mother was able to positively impact the students she taught as

This Ted Talk about how the criminal condemnation of most young adults are based on unfair circumstances. These circumstances being based upon race and background. Alice Goffman throughout the Ted Talk tells stories that persuade the audience through pathos to be tentative of injustices based on race. Goffman wants the audience to understand how these injustices are created and at then end gives some solutions. This Ted Talk will be helpful in showing some injustices and also showing some logos of criminal cases based on race. The Ted Talk will also be helpful in comparing the incarceration probability to the different

Interesting. She started off by showing a picture of a baby, and asking what would most people say is going on in the babies’ head. She said thirty years ago that most people would say not very much but after many years of research developmental psychologist have learned that babies are capable of thinking very complexly and can even think like some of the most brilliant scientist in the world. The first sort of experiment they did was with fifteen-month-old babies and they would give them broccoli or gold fish crackers. They would say yum about the broccoli and then ask the baby to hand them whichever one they wanted and they would hand the one the person said they liked. They did the same test when they are three months older and the babies would hand them the crackers, because everyone likes crackers more than vegetables. The fact that they could learn so much in a short period of time begs the question how can they learn so much?

In the TED talk “What does it mean to be Muslim” a speech by Dalia Mogahed. The 9/11 attack had proven that “Not only had my country been attacked, but in a flash, somebody else's actions had turned me from a citizen to a suspect” (Mogahed). This proves that if any one person of your race does something wrong it will affect everyone of that race not only you. People can be affected by your actions even if they have nothing to do with you. You cannot blame one incident from one person on the whole race. There is no possible way that a whole race could get together and plan something as brutal as a terrorist attack. There are many bad people in the world but you can't blame the action of one person on the whole race. People can be affected

In this TED talk, the speaker is Joshua Foer, he start's the talk by having the audience close there eyes, and imagine themselves standing in their doorway. Next, he has them visualize a group of nudist bikers heading straight for the door, imaging them crashing into the front door. Then, he says to imagine stepping into your foyer, and to appreciate the light shining down on cookie monster sitting on a tan talking horse. Head into your living room, and picture Britney spears dancing on your coffee table, he then goes on to have you imagine walking into your kitchen, the floor is a yellow brick road, then you and see Dorothy, and the tin man coming towards you.

I agree with your perspective on the Ted Talk. I also stated in my response something similar to the sel-concept. I felt that individuals that participated in the experiment when they were asked their favorite music group over a ten year time frame might of been trying to people please and being their ought self "a person's sense of what he or she is obligated to be, or should be" (p. 121). I'm wondering were the individuals that were chose to participate in the experiment aware of the results Gilbert was looking for. People are people pleasers and just like you said people sometimes overlook their true self to please others I felt the same and this theory doesn't take that into consideration.

Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk on body language was incredibly inspiring and empowering. While watching the video, I realized that I not only do I observe these power and powerless non-verbal cues every day, I display them too. The outline of her experiment which demonstrated that non-verbal cues change how people feel about themselves, not just how other people think and feel about us, followed by her premise of faking it until you make it was especially compelling. However, taking this one step further and ending the presentation on such a positive note of encouraging others to ‘fake it until you become it,' is what resonated with me the most. I am looking forward to experimenting with the techniques that she covered in her speech.

In Adichie’s TED talk, she tells how the “single story” is very dangerous thing. Adichie gets this across by telling her experiences receiving a “single story” by her mother. Adichie’s Mother had told her over many years that there was this boy that was coming to live with them. This little boy was part of a very poor family, Adichie’s mother had said to her, “ Eat the rest of your food, you know there are some people in this world just like the little boy that don’t have this food and are starving.” Now Adichie had always looked at this little boy being poor, when she had met this little boy he was able to make many things and seemed very happy and content with where he was in life. Now if this little boy looked at his own life the way that

The Ted Talk by Sherry Turkle, "Alone Together" embraces a strong dependency of modern day technology, and it's power to replace human contact with the "Illusion of companionship". With a respected background, a degree in Psychology and extensive research, Sherry Turkle emphasizes just how much we're letting technology take us to a place we do not want to go. It is one thing to reflect upon a professional, and another thing to adopt imagery in personal lyrical emotion. The two videos that grasped my attention were Gary Turk's "Look up" and Prince EA's "Autocorrect Humanity." Both videos display a lot of similarities, such as rhymes, an emotional connection, and expressing the overall picture of putting down your phone, but Gary Turks "Look Up" has made a larger impact of the two. The video "Look Up" has a significantly powerful, and emotional appeal to it and the message it conveys.

Almost every night, my parents would tell me to sit up straight when we were eating at the dinner table, and they would say it would help me digest. Also, in high school when I would walk through the halls between classes, many of my friends would compliment me on my posture. I thought it was the strangest thing to compliment someone on. The title “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” brought back these memories; therefore, I was interested to see what Amy Cuddy had to say. Cuddy is a social psychologist and a business professor at Princeton. In the TED Talk “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” Amy Cuddy discusses the reasons to use power posing, and it could affect the mind for better success in our lives.

The ted talk “The Linguistic Genius of Babies” by Kuhl (2010) tells about babies are genius on language learning, and shows some results of research as proof of this idea. The article “Learning a Language as an Adult” by Pakenham, McEntire, and Williams (2013) shows an idea about the “critical period hypothesis”, children during this period learn much better than people older than this age, especially in pronunciation, because their brain activities are different than adults during this time. Personally, I totally believe the idea of children younger learn better, because the scientific research and data are shown to audiences, and they are persuasive enough. And I do see proof in my life, like four of my Korean friends who came China around

In Martin Seligman’s TED talk, he explains the values of positive psychology’s impact on creating happier lives. In 2000, Martin Seligman created a new field of psychology called Positive Psychology. This field of positive psychology is the study of positive traits and behaviors that can contribute to a positive “happier” life. In Seligman’s TED talk, The New Positive Era of Psychology, he categorizes positive lives into three categories. The Pleasant life, the life of engagement, and the meaningful life. But before he begins his speech, he explains the negative actions taken by psychology when treating people.

The Ted Talk “Your Body Language”, by Amy Cuddy, was interesting because it was not only informational, but it also applies to everyday life. Who would have thought that simply standing in a “power pose” would release chemicals in the brain, that can help someone get a job? A power pose shows dominance by opening up your body in order to occupy space. Many people who have trouble feeling powerful simply need to not only, “Fake it ‘til they make it”, but to, “Fake it ‘til they become it”. This strategy causes a person to not only feel more powerful, but to become more powerful. I will definitely be using this Ted Talk to prepare for any major life event, and I would tell anyone else too as well. Your body language speaks to other people, and

1.) Summary: At an official TED Conference, Amy Cuddle, who is a social psychologist, gives an inspiring lecture called “Your Body Shapes Who You Are.” Throughout the lecture, Ms. Cuddle stresses that we a fascinated with the body language of ourselves and others in nature. These nonverbal behaviors give rise to judgements between peers, and make us become influenced by these types of behaviors, for instance, when you feel as if you are powerful, “…you make yourself big, you stretch out, you take up space, you're basically opening up. It's about opening up.” As Amy Cuddle discusses within her lecture, there is a direct correlation between the amount of testosterone and cortisol powerful individuals have compared to the low power. High power
