Father Ted

For this assignment, I chose to watch a Ted Talk that focused on the importance of understanding differences. It is entitled Love No Matter What and is the culmination of years of research done by Andrew Solomon. I chose this Ted Talk because I thought it would be interesting to hear about different lived experiences that people have endured. One of the huge ideas I have learned throughout this leadership course and all our topics and conversation is that we all have different lived experiences

According to the Ted talks, William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, South East Africa. He had 6 sisters and was the only boy besides his dad in his family. William’s father was a farmer in his village, and his family depended on the rain to water the plants so they could harvest and eat them. William lived in a small house with no electricity and no water. His sisters had to walk to the nearest water source and then carry it back to their home just so they could have water. Once William was old enough

Since the beginning of time many believe as stated in Ziauddin Yousafzai’s TED talk, titled “My Daughter Malala” that women have been put through inequality and have been treated as if they were worth less than what they actually are. (Yousafzai Para.5) This statement forces one to think on a deeper level, causing one's mind to investigate numerous, precise questions.

Amy Purdy’s TED talk, “Living Beyond Limits”, empowers people to push past their boundaries. She encourages people to embrace their differences and obstacles in life that would normally set them back.

Unfortunately, this was all for a very short time because one day soon after, she left her job early

Paul: the outlawed hero We live in a society that judge people based on their appearance and behavior; thus, people’s ambition nowadays is to be rich. There are several ways to reach this goal. Some can reach this goal by working hard nevertheless; others can reach this goal illegally. which brings us to “Paul’s case” which was written by Willa Cather.

was how he became the geek that he is today. Later on in his life him and his father went to go see the movie Excalibur, and after seeing that he made knight armor just from materials that he had in his home. He then asked his father if he could help him make an actual knight armor costume for him to wear during Halloween. After several months of gathering materials and coming up with their own designs, Adam and his father were able to make the armor of his dreams. He never was able to get a picture

Part A: Email /Text Problems The current technological age that uses the social media has led various problems in writing and receiving emails/texts. The biggest problem is not getting any part of a message from the text or email; understanding of the message is the greatest problem. This can be attributed to the receiving of incomprehensible and poorly arranged words and messages. The problem of using slang in writing and receiving texts is a menace.

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.

these situations is to make recommendations; his role is to make the final decision. I do believe, however, that in general I will have more influence the more confident I am. Following the end of the 681 Traverse City class, I watched Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk on “presence”.

They will buy your act. • Self-assessment:
