Summary Of Steve Howard's Ted Talk

The text my partner and I were originally going to analyze was Robb Willer’s Ted Talk called How to have better political conversations. We decided not do analyze his speech however we did take inspiration from it. The text we analyzed in the end were article titles posted on The Washington Post written by a variety of people.

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

lifestyle or have the best genetics possible to living to be a hundred years old. Buettner states

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

Many firms are learning that being environmentally friendly and sustainable has numerous benefits. (O.C Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2015). This could enable them to increase goodwill from various stakeholders and also save money in the long term. This will mean that they are being more efficient and less wasteful of resources, which will enable them to be more competitive by satisfying stakeholders. The CEO of

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

David Camarillo, in his speech at Ted, explains what a concussion is and why helmets do not prevent them. Camarillo, a former football player, has suffered concussions from football as well as biking. Camarillo aspires for a helmet that will prevent concussions and make risky activities safe. Camarillo adequately explains to his audience what a concussion is and why helmets do not prevent them through familiarity with the subject, awareness of audience concerns, and examples and illustrations.

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.

After watching the Ted Talk video, I do agree with Hanauer and that inequality within the U.S and the triple down theory will only result in a economic decrease for all. What I found convincing was the overcasting theme of not status nor wealth but, the healthy competition for all classes and genders. This statement is logical and yet, fair, his example was that raising the minimum wage is one way to prevent the trickle theory and the decrease of economic growth. Simply, because rising the minimum wages benefits everyone and sets the foundation for a more equal ideology of economic balance pertaining to the United States.

Before watching this Ted Talk by Gever Tulley, I did wonder why would you let your child do anything dangerous. I figured this guy has a lot of convincing to do. Then it hit me, I would be “those types of parents that over-guard their child and keep them from danger only to “protect them” After watching, I can say that I was wrong and I should let my child experience these encounters on their own to increase their learning capabilities. By doing this it would help the child learn and grow from their mistakes. I could be keeping my child away from all the possible experiences that life brings to us and they would not be able to learn own their own because of me shielding them away from these

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.

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

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.
