Kylie Gerovac's Response

Decent Essays
I found Kylie Gerovac’s response to be very convincing. Like Kylie, this Ted Talk also broke my knowledge of what is going on in the world. I found it very convincing how she has always wondered why no good news is ever shown to us. I find this so convincing because I have always felt the same way about the world. I always wonder why the good news isn't shown like bad. Like Kylie, I also find it so amazing how fast the world is changing and how little we know about this incredible information. Kylie makes another convincing point when talking about the waste and how if we were educated more on this it would make the world a better and healthier place. The quote that Kylie mentioned is also very interesting in how it talks about living in a

    Chris’s use of rhetoric to perfectly captivate his audience highly influenced me. Before starting to take the idea of self-driving car into reality, all he and his coworkers had was plan in their heads and thoughts to accomplish it. This thought ensured that it didn’t take too long for them to build the prototype version of the self-driving cars. So, this inspires me to think that nothing in this world is impossible. I know that, there are numerous mysteries for us to discover, and to discover them, all of us have to dig in deep.…

    There were two aspects of the presentation I found most interesting about the presentation. The first was David Monteros perspective on how to fix the system. He said politics has becomes very biased and gains often by dehumanizing the opposing team. Very biased opinions need to be willing to cooperate or reach an agreement with each other and remember that the system is about making sure the individual is properly represented. The analogy he used is America is like a divorced family, and its citizens are the kids their fighting over.…

    The article I chose is by Chris Anderson. He tells the story of Richard Turere, who invented “lion lights,” where the lights create a since of motion to keep lions away from the village animals. Mr. Anderson wanted Mr. Turere to speak at TED, but Mr. Turere was shy and did not possess the presentation skills it took to talk in front of a crowd during a TED talk. Eventually, Mr. Turere required the skills from school and gave an outstanding presentation about his invention.…

    The Effects of Intuitive Modern Medias Malcolm Gladwell’s essay called ‘Tipping Points’ identifies and explains his beliefs as to why changes in social behavers and trends happens quickly and sometimes unexpectedly (Gladwell). Gladwell likens these changes to outbreaks of infectious disease and epidemics. He demonstrates how word-of-mouth passing of information is just as effective as a news story. Drawing on historical figures such as Paul Revere and his midnight ride to inform colonial Americans that the British forces were arriving to support his thesis.…

    I watched the Ted talk video, “The fascinating secret lives of giant clams” by Mei Lin Neo. This speech essentially entails information regarding giant clams, such as their basic size or growth status and most importantly how important/essential they are to their aquatic environment/ecosystem. While this speech was well presented and very informative, there are a few points in which Mei Lin Neo falls short on. Starting with her good points first, she was very confident regarding her topic, which can be seen through her enthusiasm and passion. As even from the start of her speech you can see the amount of good energy she held and seem to transfer to her audience throughout her speech.…

    Firstly, I thought that your informative speech about plastic waste in the ocean was very well spoken and intriguing. I know there are plastics in the ocean, but I was naive to think that this was a problem that could be easily solved with a large net and some boats. Below are all my thoughts about the speech, and the presentation that went along with it. I loved how you started the speech off with a personal story. Your story really grabbed my attention and kept me interested thought out the speech.…

    What a game changer this speech was! This speech at first was not very interesting and I do not really know why, but I kept listening, watching, and reading the script… I loved it. The author/speaker’s purpose of this Ted Talk called “Jon Ronson: Strange answers to the psychopath test” by Jon Ronson is to inform viewers of one important mental illness, psychopathy, and his personal experience with psychopathy. What Ronson did was tell his own story experience; that is what made this speech so incredibly entertaining and informative to me.…

    One downfall was the failure to cite specific sources. One instance of this is when Pinker mentions how face-to-face contact releases neurotransmitters, and how they protect you now in the present and well into the future. She also mentions how giving somebody a high-five releases oxytocin, which increases your level of trust and it lowers your cortisol levels. Also, dopamine is generated, which gives a little high and it kills pain, like a naturally produced morphine (Pinker 10:00). Although this is quality information to insert in her presentation to persuade the audience, she did not cite where this information came from.…

    There are many ways how silence could be efficient or harmful. However, I believe that silence is dangerous in many ways possible. My reasons are that people wouldn’t be able to express their thoughts on important situation and serious topics with silence, as well as the tension of silence from the people. Also, people could have limited knowledge because of silence, and silence can be destructive to a person’s or the other’s personality. My first reason is that people wouldn’t be able to express their thoughts on important situation and serious topics with silence, as well as the tension of silence from the people.…

    Before Thanksgiving break, we had the opportunity to watch part of The 11th Hour movie in health class. I continued to watch the film after class because it seemed very interesting to me. As I watched, I was surprised to hear that the bulk of the environmental problems in the world today are a result of individuals abusing what the world has to offer. Many of the natural disasters we face are a result of the earth fighting back to what we as humans are doing. I thought that this film was very resourceful.…

    The theses of the TED talk “The power of vulnerability”, by Brené Brown , is that we all struggle with vulnerability in our lives; we fail to truly express ourselves and allow ourselves to be deeply seen, for the fear of not being accepted. But it is when we can truly accept who we are, and recognize our worth, that we can finally embrace vulnerability. Brown uses a humorous and an intimate tone in her Ted talk, to point out her struggle with vulnerability. These two tones are visible when Brown gets personal about her struggle with vulnerability, leading her to go see a therapist as she had a “breakdown”, but as intimate as she gets about her life, she still has a very humorous tone, keeping the audience entertained at the same time.…

    Her ended her presentation by explaining what her current research is and the direction she hopes to take. This current research involves taking these previous sibling pairs and examining the relationship is the same worse or even better and whether there are longitudinal implications of family relationships for emotions and transitional phases. Overall I thought this was the weakest presentation yet, was the most interesting information presented. She was very clear and straight forward with the presentation of her information but, lacked a sense of drive or passion for her work.…

    Why we all need To Practice Emotional First Aid Summary: Guy Winch Believes that we all should take psychological health a lot more serious than it is being taken.

After that he presented his argument to why we should take psychological health seriously.…

    The TEDTalk I have chosen to review is Why Humans Run the World by Yuval Noah Harari. In this fascinating talk, Harari posed the question “How did humans turn themselves from insignificant apes minding their own business in Africa into rulers of planet Earth?” I found this video on Youtube by accident while browsing for TEDTalks. I watched several ones before I came across Harari’s and his drew my attention the most out of all the talks I watched. He offered a refreshing view of how humans came to be the top species of the world.…
