Summary Of Robb Willer's 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

The TED Talk: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The Danger of a Single Story was both informational and eye opening. In my opinion, Ms. Chimanda Ngozi Adichie did a wonderful job of capturing the audience’s attention and telling her story about how she found her “cultural voice” (Adichie, 2009). In the talk, Ms. Adichie focused primarily on the subject of stereotypes, but discussed it in a way that was both relatable and reflective.

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.

Intended audience is the initial step to any rhetorical analysis. If you are unable to identify an audience, you will be unable to identify the manner and means by which the speaker’s message resonated with the intended audience. Understanding the first step to rhetorical analysis will help me keep my analysis in-depth, yet precise. Without

The main goal of this article was to discover if the televised presidential debates increased the amount of knowledge of campaign issues amongst uneducated voters. One of the downfalls of this campaign overall, was that it seemed too artificial and staged to some of the voters. It was during this election, that many print media providers were called out for simply focusing on the “horse race” as opposed to the political issues at hand. In hope to contradict this claim, evidence was “found that more than 75 network TV stories mentioned each of the ‘big four’ economic issues of 1988—taxes, trade, unemployment, and the state of the economy.” (Drew & Weaver, 1991, pg. 28) The presidential Debates were also seen as evidence to contradict this claim

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 entitles “teach every child about food” by Jamie Oliver is about the obesity in america. He describes how important it is to educate children on food and how to stay healthy so that they can avoid the #1 disease in america, obesity. Jamie’s viewpoint being a chef is that food is everything. The way you eat and what you eat is extremly vital to a persons everyday life. I agree with him, it is so crucial to know what you are eating. Jamie played a clip during his ted talk of him in a elementary class room displaying various vegetables. The children did know what they were, he showed a child a tomato and he said very confidently that it was a potato. children need culinary education so that they atlas have the basic knowledge of

Managers are leaders, leaders are managers, these concepts have long been thought to be synonymous. Ideally, for a manager to be good, the former is the case, but this is not always the case. Further, one doesn’t have to be a manager to be a leader. Anyone can be a leader. They are the people who exhibit superior interpersonal qualities that allows them to create connections to obtain a desired outcome; these are informal leaders (Sullivan). Everyone knows that one or two informal leaders, the people you just get behind and follow because they are so charismatic and influential. They don’t stand up to be recognized, they simply do it, as it comes natural to them. Managers on the other hand are placed in a position of power by an organization

By far, the United states presidential debate is one of the most popular debates in America. The debates are extremely important for the citizens of the United states because they help those in the audience as well as those watching from their homes decide who will be the country’s next president for the next four years of office.

Shirin Neshat’s TED talk was an eye-opening insight into life as an artist within other cultures. The oppression faced in Iran, particularly by women, provides ample material for Neshat to create politically charged artwork. The subject matter addressed includes the negative treatment of women, an artist’s place in Iran combined with eventual exile, and the western world’s position as it applies to the eastern world. Each theme Neshat has chosen to employ is admirable as fine art and as a political statement.

In the Ted Talk, The Why and the How of Effective Altruism, Singer presents the story of two-year old, Wang Yue. Wang Yue was hit by a van and left bleeding on the road. Many people walked by her without helping and by the time Wang Yue was taken to the hospital she was pronounced dead. However, when Singer asked the crowd if they would have stopped to help, many people affirmed that they would. Singer believes that you cannot give yourself so much moral credit because a person’s decision not to help a child like Wang Yue when put in that position is no different than someone who doesn’t help a child when not in this position. 19,000 children a day are dying from preventable diseases while people spend excess money to go on cruises, buy new

I watched two videos about Mexico’s drug cartel this week, a Ted Talk and a debate on whether the U.S. is to blame for the Mexican Drug War. The Ted talk focused on the business aspect of drug cartels, which is something that I don’t hear very often. The debate video was two teams debating to sway the audience’s opinion on whether the U.S. is to blame for the Mexican Drug Wars. While each person had their own unique ideas, it seemed likely most or all of them agreed on one point, and that was that the U.S. did share some of the responsibility for the drug war. In both videos, they discussed the business side of the drug cartels. The bulk of this conversation happened in the Ted Talk, although there were a few short discussions in the main debate that I listened to.

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.

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
