Essay On Ted Talk

On 9th May, 2016 I watched the TED Talk of Magnus Walker, Car enthusiast and an entrepreneur. He claimed that people should follow their gut feeling. Specifically he claimed that one should do what he or she loves. As he said , “common bond for me really was freedom — freedom to do whatever I wanted to do, on a dream sort of to be able to, I suppose, live my life to the fullest and do whatever I wanted to do.” Although some people believe that most of the time doing what one loves doesn't get him or her any success, Walker insists that by doing what he loved he was able to find success. He stated when he came out with his clothing brand it was different but he liked it to support that he got success by doing what he loved. In addition, he

Mallory Soldner, in her TED Talk “Your company’s data could end world hunger” given at a TED Institute event in 2016, successfully argues that if companies donate data, decision scientists, and technology to gather new sources of data to humanitarian organizations, that lives can be saved. Soldner is able to support her claims by sharing her experiences using data to drive efficiencies, save money, and feed more people while working for the World Food Program. In Soldner’s TED Talk, she uses ethos to build credibility and rapport with the audience. Solder also uses logos by detailing her experience at the World Food Program and demonstrating the value of the data, and explaining why it makes business sense. Soldner’s target audience is executives of large companies.

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.

In the TED Talk “How Adoption Worked for Me” presented by Christopher Ategeka, the viewer learns how adoption changed the impoverished life of the speaker. Ategeka begins his presentation by explaining, how he struggled to survive after he lost both of his parents at a very young age. The audience soon was brought awareness that the charity campaigns that they view on television are not a scam, and serve a person. Many individuals like Ategeka were able to survive for as long as they have because of these donors. In addition, the kindness of one specific donor family, who opened a door filled with opportunity for a better life, was explained. Christopher Ategeka informs his audience this family was willing to provide him with enough financial support to receive a college education in the land of the free.

The overall message presented in Rob Hopkins Ted Talk, which is titled “Transition to a World Without Oil” (Hopkins), is that society has become dependent on a resource that is depleting and this needs to change. Hopkins presents the issue of how oil resources are becoming scarce and that people have become reliant on it to the point that they will not be able to function without it. He also mentions how oil consumption is also taking a toll on the environment. Overall, Hopkins introduces the energy consumption issue and by doing so, gains the attention of the audience that wants to this issue to change. His main goal in this presentation is for people to support his organization, called the Transition Network, which ultimately will help solve

This week in class the Ted Talks were quite interesting. One of the ones that stood out to me the most was the talk about about the plane-car. I thought it was cool that people are innovating new ways of transportation. Another Ted Talk that stood out was one that discussed a marshmallow activity that children seemed to beat adults in. One of the things the Talk concluded is that incentives like money does not equal success. I enjoyed the discussion/debate about the pen and the morals and ethics surrounding it. I felt like the whole class was engaged and had their own opinions about whether it is right or not to fire someone over one pen or thousands of pens.

Most time when money does not bring happiness, it is due to how the person is using it. In a Ted Talk by Michael Norton, he talks about how when used correctly money can buy happiness. In his Ted Talk he made the claim that if money doesn’t bring you happiness, then you’re using it wrong (Norton). Often, people who do not find happiness from money are spending it in an antisocial manner, as Norton explained. It has been found that when money is spent “prosocially” those spending the money tend to be much happier than those that spend on themselves. We see this type of behavior from those who are constantly “keeping up with the Joneses”. In an article relating to this topic it says that “Some people may not be able to ‘keep up with the Joneses’

Especially with society’s standard weighing down on them, an individual always feels the need to meet or be society’s normal. They feel this pressure because in their minds they believe that if I am normal maybe more people will like me, or society will see me as one of the top people. With all of that chaos going on in their head, sometimes a person can have trouble being who they really are.

I was an audience – centered. I defined the purpose of my speech and generated the main ideas with the supporting materials while I was taking consideration of my audience.

Tara Winkler, one of the presenters in TED Talk, discussed the danger of voluntourism and volunteering at the orphanages and that most of the time the person volunteering doesn't even know if the organisation is authorised or legal. Winkler argued that voluntourism will only get the country into deeper trouble. Before volunteering at a Cambodia orphanage, she believed that by doing so she was helping the people in need. She created a strong bond with the children at the orphanage and continuously going back to visit them. Soon, she picked up the language and discovered some interesting things that were happening to the children. The children who were being put into the orphanage weren't exactly

What is about TED talks that after watching a single TED talk video, viewers feel sufficiently informed about said subject and not need to further research. Ted’s super attraction comes from a multitude of research on what attracts their genre and how to appeal to the emptions and passions of its intended viewers, drama and technological theatrics timed perfectly for age specific attentions spans, captivate the attention of 800 million viewers. “This is taking something with value and substance and coring it out so that it can be swallowed without chewing.” (Bratton 2013) This sensationalism has the potential to create serious misconceptions and potentially lead to bad decision making.

In Nagin Cox’s TED Talk “What Time is it on Mars?” the audience learns the many changes engineers, who are studying Mars, have to undergo. Cox explains that in order for this special group of NASA technicians to be able to deliver the most accurate, up-to-date information about activity on Mars, they have to adjust to “Mars Time.” According to Cox, the duration of a standard day on Earth is forty minutes longer on Mars. This means that every day the employees must attend the work site forty minutes later than the day prior. The viewer soon learns that this slightly confusing and exhausting schedule does not only affect the NASA engineer, but also his or her family. One understands that the individuals who participate in research regarding
