Ted Talk Summary
I enjoyed watching this Ted Talk by Dalia Mogahed. It was a beautiful speech

The reading on Arab Families gave me a lot of insight about the Arab culture. The main two topics that interested me was language and family structure. I have a friend who is Muslim and he let me know how family is the main concern in the Arab societies. He also informed me that the men are allowed to have up to four wives if they desire to. However, he said if the men fear that they cannot be just to all then they should only marry one. As the reading stated “ the Arabic language is extremely difficult and grammatically complex”. When I first saw him write in Arabic it looked more like art than writing. When I then heard him salat (pray) in Arabic it sounded really

    Summary Of Mark Bittman's Tedtalk

    I found Mark Bittman's Tedtalk, What's wrong with what we eat talk to be somewhat educational, but also misleading at the same time especially when it came to agriculture. It is true that humans are over eating especially when it comes to meat, but that is because we're no longer cavemen who need to go out and hunt for our meals but instead, we can go to the grocery store or a restaurant to get anything we desire. Thus I believe that added convince is what is adding to the obesity epidemic, not the agriculture industry. One thing that I felt was semi-true was that yes agriculture production is the second most polluter in the US, but only about 2% of the United States population are farmers, and that 2% strongly cares about the environment especially…

    The First Ted Talk Analysis

    The first Ted Talk was about ben dunlap and his many Hungarian mentors. He mostly focused on Mr. Sandor Teszler and is the current president of Wofford College. His uncle Henry was living under a death threat from the Ku Klux Klan. His uncle did a very Hungarian act by moving his family to Massachusetts so that he could face the Ku Klan Klan alone in South Carolina. Thinking about it, I pretty sure I would do the same thing being in his situation. Hungarians have their own equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan which I found disturbing. Dunlap states that, “Sandor Teszler somewhat resembles Mahatma Gandhi, minus the loincloth and plus orthopedic boots.” He was teased for having two club feet.…

    Summary Of Ted Talk: Taking Imagination Seriously

    In the Ted Talk, “Taking Imagination Seriously”, Janet Elchelman discussed a few problems that she has faced, and the strategies she used to solve them. Janet was first faced with the issue of her paints not arriving on time, then after brainstorming she was faced with another problem of her material being too heavy, then Janet reveals another dilemma that she was confronted with; there was not software designed yet to aid her in creating her sculpture. When the paints had not arrived Janet dove right into problem solving. She clearly understood she could not create the art that was planned.

    Peter Singer's Ted Talk Argument

    Kuper uses a calm tone in his Ted Talk which allows the audience to be engage. His examples seems realistic and logical, for example: he talks about a woman who is working hard so that her son can attend university. Singer also uses a lighter tone in his Ted Talk which allows his argument to be more persuasive to the audience. However, his examples does not seems practical or realistic enough to grasp the audience attention. Instead, the examples pull the audience back because they do not understand what he is trying to emphasize or explain. Kuper believes that charity is limited, in order to help one we need to think about profit. He introduce the Gates Foundation and Micro Insurance Fund which are two organizations that allows one to see how profit works. He also believes that if one gives a small amount of his or her income every month consistently then it can make a huge difference. Kuper talks about the poor, but also those who are excluded. He concluded that giving also helps those who give (adding profit and external meaning). Kuper argument allows persons to make their own decision and give willing. In contrast, Singer talks about charity and donation has if those are the only solutions. He believes that the money we are spending on unnecessary things, like leisure should be given to charity. He also talks about effective altruism as a solution. He…

    Sheryl Sandburg's Ted Talk

    I watched Sheryl Sandburg’s Ted talk and read this article. After watching the Ted talk I thought she brought up a lot of interesting facts and I did not think she left anything out. After reading the article though I changed my mind. Even though Sandburg did have good arguments I felt as though she left out entire groups of women. Not everyone has the opportunity to even go to school in some developing countries because they are female. How can she say women need to try harder if some never get the opportunity to try in the first place? Her Ted talk was a good start at motivating women who already have these opportunities but her talk would be hopeless for a woman who never had basic schooling. I liked how she brought up how most females who…

    Essay On Ted Talk

    John Coyle the speaker of my Ted Talk talked about strengths and weaknesses. Coyle encouraged his audience to focus more on their strengths rather that their weaknesses. Coyle believed that if a person worked too long to improve their weaknesses, then it is obvious that they can’t improve those weaknesses, and should move on to focusing on their strengths. Therefore, the best thing to do is to move on to building up their strengths, because they can surely improve their strengths. According to the author of the book The Other Wes Moore, Wes never took the time to focus on his weaknesses in school. Wes focused on what he thought as an easy way to make money by selling drugs. He had a strength to manage,…

    Ted Talk

    In the Ted Talk video “The Surprising Science of Happiness”, Dan Gilbert discusses the effects of how happiness works in regards to certain situations, such as in times of success and loss. In his discussion of happiness, he states that people not only have a biological immune system, but also a “psychological immune system” in which people can “synthesize happiness” (CITATION). To break these concepts down, the immune system functions to protect the body against diseases that can result in death. Just like the immune system, the psychological immune system works similarly in which the brain will work to fight off the unhappiness and stresses in a person’s life. Once the psychological immune systems starts to function, people will try to synthesize…
