The reason why I chose this ted talk is because of meaning behind it. The meaning of the Ted Talk is male and female are discriminated because of their gender. I chose his topic because I am a feminists and believe that both women and men should have the same right. I don’t see anything wrong with women in the workplace or men in the home. For me, if a woman has a higher income than her husband is not big deal. We a society should not be telling girls to stay home, not have to big of ambitions and we shouldn’t believe that woman’s main priority in life is to get married. I believe we should all be Feminism because it allowing both female and male to access the same resource. feminism is allowing women to expand their careers, do thing that

    As human beings we don’t have the luxury of being able to choose between becoming a male or a female, and regardless of what technology has to offer in the next generations to come it should stay that way. The idea of a man or women ever being more superior to another is an absolute disgrace to our society. In order for our country to function the way it does, men and women on a daily basis must work side by side under no restrictions. In all honesty, being a male I grew up not having to deal with all the sexism that goes on in a girls every day activities. I don’t blame the strong willed women for rebelling and going against the common stereotypes that are tagged against them, I would do the same.…

    The video I chose to observe via YouTube was, ‘Gender Roles in Society’ by Ria Chinchankar. The three highlights that really stood out to me were the different point of views, the history of anatomy, and the psychological aspects in regards to gender roles. I really enjoyed the beginning of the clip which started off by Ria asking the audience to shout out adjectives describing men and woman. The reason this influenced me so much was listening to other ideas everyone brought up. The perfect woman was described as feminine, small, petite, tall, pretty, and fabulous.…

    In Bryan Stevenson’s Ted talk he addresses the issues and injustices in the criminal justice system. The first main point that Stevenson makes is that there is a large degree of disconnect between what happens in the criminal justice system and communities of poverty, and what happens in those of affluent or middle class wealth. He illustrates that the train of thought is often, “that’s not our burden” when concerning issues of mass incarceration and poverty. He explains that we must be engaged with the issues of the poor and the suffering to fully evolve as a civilization. This disconnect is made clear when Stevenson compares the attitude of Germany to that of the United States on the topic of the death penalty.…

    In his TED talk “We can reprogram life. How do we do it wisely?” Juan Enriquez persuades the audience towards why altering lifecode is necessary and how humans have have been doing so for thousands of years through breeding.
