Isacc Lidsky's The Ted Talk

In Dr. Winch’s Ted Talk he addresses three “emotional injuries,” and discusses how people tend to make their emotional injury worse than it has to be. He also reassures us on how we can lessen the damage of our emotional injuries. The three emotional injuries are loneliness, failure, and rejection. Dr. Winch believes that people who experience one of these feelings tend to make matters worse by convincing themselves that they can’t change their feelings and ultimately they end up contributing to their injury. People tend to think of their faults or they play an event or situation over and over again in their head. Thinking negatively does nothing to improve their injury. Dr. Winch believes that thinking positively can help reduce the emotional

“She used a great mentality ro overcome her pain,” I thought to myself as I watched Janine Shepard’s TED Talk.

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

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.

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.

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

The TED Talk video that I watched was Why do we sleep by Russel Foster. This TED talk was about why we need sleep and how getting less than the suggested amount affects the brain. There are three main reasons why we need sleep; restoration, energy conservation, and brain function. Only certain genes are turned on when you sleep so you need to sleep in order for those genes to turn on and allow you other genes to be restored, while sleeping you save about 110 calories, sleep helps enhance creativity, and your brain is less likely to retain information if you’re sleep deprived and trying to cram information. On average a teen needs 9 hours of sleep, in the 1950s the average teen was getting 8 hours of sleep, today on average teens are getting 5 hours of sleep, which is half the amount that we need. If you’re not receiving the amount of sleep that you need your body will uncountable got into micro-sleeping which will happen to at least 31% of drivers in their lifetime.

In the TED talk video, Jay Smooth implies that it is okay not to be perfect. We are all human and we make horrible sometimes insensitive mistakes, but when race is present, we tend to think of the subject in a concrete form of right and wrong, but racism is not black and white. There is a gray area just like no one is perfect. I like how Jay Smooth also discussed how prejudice is in all aspects of our lives whether we see it or not. In some shape or form, we all possess judgment towards a person ethnicity. We turn on the T.V. and see characters being stereotype because of their race. We take our kids to the park, and we watch our children judge others based on looks. I know for a fact I am not perfect and I agree being a “good person” is to

The Ted Talks video featuring Edward Burynysk was very thought provoking. I felt like it directly related to the section in Chapter 9 on photography and social change. He produces breathtaking photographs of landscapes that are not known for their beauty. He has found a very innovative way to bring awareness to the issue of global conservation and sustainability.

Karima Bennoune’s influential stories of real/innocent people fighting against fundamentalism in their own communities is incredibly touching. Situations alike are never heard about in the United States and her compassionate story strengthens the knowledge of every individual. I pray to God I’m never put in such a situation where I’m put in precarious encounter and have to defend myself and my ideals against unrestrained fundamentalists. It takes a special kind of courage to refuse to allow the faith you love to become a tool for crime, attacks and murder.

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.

Christopher Emdin, a longtime teacher and now science advocate, believes that educators should focus on theories and content, but also include magic in their teaching. His TED talk begins with him saying that there are students enrolled in teacher education programs listening to their professors talk about how to be engaging in the most disengaging way possible. These individuals want to be effective teachers, but are either disinterested in the content or have no model to follow. He then describes magic as having the power to engage an audience. The people who have this “magic” are far removed from the classroom. In fact, those people may not have a degree of any kind. Those who possess the magic to engage did not attend a college or university, but learned it from hanging out at places like barber shops, rap concerts, or the Black church. Christopher believes that teachers who need help engaging their students and making their classrooms livelier should attend these places and observe how to engage an audience. He says that by doing this boring classrooms can come to life and students can actually become interested in learning the material (Emdin, 2013, 1:7).

Sir Ken Robinson’s Ted Talk has been one of my favorite Ted Talks I have ever seen. The way he narrates his points and brings the truth of our educational system to light is inspiring. I do believe that there are flaws in our public K-12 system that need to be addressed, and Sir Robinson addresses some of those points accurately.

This essay explores the video of Simon Sinek’s speech at TED Talk in 2014 and the video is called ‘Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe?’ In this video, Simon explained the answer to the question by illustrating few consequences and outcomes of the examples that he explained in the video. He began with telling a military story, which he saw it from a personal-recorded video and the military story is about the Captain William Swenson (US) rescuing his soldiers under the attack from some local anti-governmental organizations in Afghanistan when they trying to convoy few governmental officers from the US and Afghanistan to meet the local village elders. And Simon found that the captain kissed each injured soldiers’ neck when he
