Ethos In TED Talk

Sir Ken Robinson's main point of his TED Talk is that school systems, worldwide, segregate the arts to a lower level of learning. This segregation of the arts in schools drains students of creativity.

St. Jude Children’s hospital was established in February of 1962 with the “sole purpose of conducting basic and clinical research and treatment into catastrophic childhood diseases” (StJude.org). They have raised survival of childhood cancer from 20% to 80% since their opening through their research (Cancer.org). Even with an average of 7,800 patients a year and a 1.8 million daily operating cost, parents never pay anything for their child’s stay (StJude.org). The survival rate has raised and children are able to stay at no cost due to donations. Most of these donations come from people around the world that see St. Jude’s effective and strong advertisements. I will be analyzing three rhetoric’s ethos, logos, and pathos the hospital used to raise funds and make it effective.

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

Could stress ever become your friend? Stress is something that most people have in their day to day life. In a Ted Talk by Kelly McGonigal she talks about how to make stress your friend. But we are not here to just talk about stress. We are also going to be looking at the rhetorical situation, the rhetorical devices, and the overall effectiveness of this video.

In “Why I keep speaking up, even when people mock my accent,” Safwat Saleem, shows his passion and his courageous side when speaking in his Ted Talk, describing the main idea of there not being such a thing of normalcy, as well as arguing that individuals should be confident and accept who they are from their special qualities. Agreeing with Saleem (2016), however to also consider it has become common in today’s society to want to be normal. Therefore many people would not agree with wanting to be exactly known as quote on quote ‘normal’ but they may want to assimilate to norms because that person is or may be in a unique way socially accepted.

Twenty multi-million business owner, Tai Lopez, took the stage at an independent Tedx Talk back in 2015. In the video, Lopez uses persuasive language to convince the viewers the significance of mentors. First, Lopez pulls the audience in my mentioning his grandmother, “My grandmother was born not too far from here in Berlin, Germany. She’s 96 years old, by the way and she said ‘Tai, tell them hello’’. By mentioning his grandmother, he is trying to get the audience to relate to him and make them feel more comfortable. Another persuasive method he uses throughout all of the video is pathos through his stories. An example of this is when Lopez is talking about how he found his mentor and how it lead up to him searching for one. He tries to engage the audience and to get them to connect to the story so he can influence them. Overall, Lopez is victorious in coaxing his audience by the sheer amount of persuasion that he uses.

Our group added elements of ethos into our presentation by including the number of years Bryan’s House has been operating and where and when it was established. There are not any celebrity endorsements for this charity, but we included other popular foundations that are affiliated. Also, we added the official logo for Bryan’s

To reach our goal, we focus on eight fields: health, livelihood, water sanitation, hygiene, education, child protection, humanitarian assistance and emergency response. We sponsor Jamila Kanchoro, a young girl in Kenya. We provide access to basic necessities such as clean water, food, education and health care for Jamila. Child sponsorships assist in the hiatus of the poverty cycle by empowering young minds, their families, and communities. In a ‘Thank You’ card, Jamila mentioned her love for science; a passion that we both share. I made it one of my personal goals to raise money for scientific instruments for Jamila to use one day. This large financial goal was a challenge for me to think of multiple fundraising events. One activity that I organized was a 40 Hour Famine which raised awareness and over $1500. This experience has challenged me to not only make a difference in my community but to also impact globally. My involvement in this club has also contributed to my desire of exploring the science and medical field at UBC to aid those in

When it comes to choice it always seems to be a love hate relationship: we hate making them, but we can’t live without them. Anyone can all look back to a time in our lives where they wish someone could just pick for us, or times when we wish there were more to choose from. All Americans have many choices, and it is such a part of our daily lives that we don’t even realize it. Barry Schwartz and Sheena Iyengar‘s TED talks bring up interesting ideas about choice, how people deal with them and their affects. They both state that although choice is good, it can also have negative effects. Schwartz explains what most people believe and experience with choice, while Iyengar shows cultural differences in choice making. Both Schwartz and Iyengar

“Eye Heart World was born in 2010 when Brian and Season Russo decided to take action against human trafficking in an innovative way. For the first awareness event they organized, Season and her mother, Denise Foster, created 30 bags, hoping to raise funds for a safe home in their community. Supporting the cause in a tangible way proved to be contagious - every single bag was sold that day. Since it’s inception, Eye Heart World has sold thousands of products; educated over 20,000 individuals and raised over $100,000 to fund the fight against Human Trafficking.” I absolutely love this mission statement because it shows exactly what the cause is for and has no loopholes. The product is all designed and hand picked by Season herself and all of the profits, 100% go to funding aid and bringing awareness. I think an organization like this is so important to today, especially living in the society we live in, to help bring awareness in a way that is both practical and appealing to the eye. The handbags that are made for sale are so beautiful and classy, and each one in marked with an orange rose. The reason this orange rose is placed on every handbag is because it represents the delicate and unique lives of those who are exploited and had their lives taken from them. “Each life deserves freedom,

As human beings the vast majority of us wish we could change the world, whether that be helping humans, animals, the environment, it is helping those that cannot help themselves. However, we also realize to help with these causes it takes money and for the most part a great deal of it. But, some people are fortunate enough and can help change the lives of many. That is what Ellen DeGeneres has done with her leadership skills, guidance, celebrity status and wealth. Through her kind heart and passion for the social good she does everything she can to make the world a better place. It is true that money can certainly help in spanning social good, however, multiple pennies can also impact those in need. Social good is something that anyone can do. It is not about celebrity status or being a millionaire. Social good is about feeling good about helping others when they are in need. It is about creating a sense of connectedness to humanity and being humble all the while influencing those that follow you. This is what Ellen DeGeneres is all about. This paper will discuss, Ellen 's foundations and charities, how these reflect her personal values and leadership integrity, how her giving enhances her celebrity image and whether her integrity is compatible with her image.

The year of 1887 marked the beginning of United Way, which originated as Denver’s Charity Organization Society and expanded over 1,000 Community Chests in the late 1940’s (Dess, Lumpkin, Eisner, & McNamara, 2012, p. C19). Then in 1974 their campaign, in America and Canada, exceedigngly raised over $1 billion dollars; thus, causing for the creation of the United Way International so that many countries around the world may have the ability to construct similar organizations that will benefit their nations (Dess, et al., 2012, C19). United Way’s business consist of attracting large companies and

Remember that one of GVAHEC’s missions is to educate underserved population about healthy behavior. One staff member attended excel training, she also shared her knowledge about how to protect their system from hackers. Another person attended community health graduation. GVAHEC provides support to healthcare students who have financial problem, so, some of their students have graduated. I think this meeting was very useful to me because I have learned some new things. For example, I have learned how to look for fund raising opportunity, so, in the future, if I work with an organization that needs sponsor, I think I can help. I have also learned through this meeting that when I will be working with this type organization, it is very important to learn new things from other organizations that will help my organization to prosper. On Wednesday September 13, I went to the Phoenix location. We have finished our project regarding St Mary’s food bank presentation. So, two weeks from now, we will be presenting. I have learned many things through this project. For example, in my future career, if I am asked to conduct a project to educate people on healthy behavior, I think I will feel more comfortable to do

The organization that I chose to analysis is the Save the Children Campaign. This organization relies heavily upon ethos and pathos to get support for their cause. This organization uses many means to get their point across to people. This organization uses the emotional appeal to their advantage and mostly they use this technique to get donations and volunteers. The use of credibility strategies has helped the organization also with receiving donations and getting people to volunteer. The mission of Save the Children is to create lasting, positive changes in the lives of children in need. Save the Children works to achieve this mission through community-based programs designed

Kate Simonds’ Ted Talk speaks out the truth of inequity towards young people, especially on teens in regards of voicing and expressing their thoughts and ideas without being neglected. It discusses the challenges of teens’ voice being heard due to the societal perception towards the insignificance of young people’s voice as they are labeled as “naive and ignorant”. Kate Simonds’ stated on her Ted talk that “the only qualification to being a TED speaker is to have an idea. An idea you think is worth spreading” which she stated to be a problem due to her age of 17 which will lead to her idea being accounted to be worthless. To further emphasize her point of unfairness, She added humor on her speech saying “you’re only respecting me because I’m on this stage. Maybe it’s because you like my extremely high heels” which somewhat makes her acceptable to the society to be heard of as she wears “high heels” which can represent maturity because it is most common and norms for an adult to wear heels. Her introduction was well executed as she was able to outline and introduce the problem, thus, leading her to state her opinion on her thesis that “any idea should be respected no matter the age of who it comes from.” Furthermore, she discusses how unfairness towards teens are present in many different situations where adults neglect and don't respect her voice and it was stated that “according to a Life Science article from 2008, that because [she’s] a teenager, [she] can’t experience empathy which is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” Also, argues that students are being looked down upon and she talks about the expectations from students such as following the system education and how they are not expected to oblige. Overall, this discusses how young people are often told “You don’t get it, you’re 17. You don’t deserve to have the control over what you learn” this statement is contributing factors to why many voices are often unheard because others are ignorant.
