In the Ted Talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is something everyone should watch. She told the story of how she was introduced to a boy named Fide and realized his family wasn’t as rich as hers. However, she did mention visiting him in his own village and seeing the talent his family has such as the basket making.

William Ury is a speaker for Ted Talks and he explains his thoughts about listening. He said listening is more important than talking, for that is the reason we are born with two ears and only one mouth. He says if you listen long enough, they will be more prepared to listen to you. For example, Ury meets the president of Venezuela during a civil war. Ury gave his opinion about what the president should do and the president became frustrated and started shouting at Ury. Ury did not yell back, he…

In Atul Gawande’s Ted Talk, “How do we heal medicine,” he expresses a concerned yet hopeful tone which explicitly describes the disturbing comparison between the cost of medical care and the lack of care patients are paying for. Even though there is an advancement in medical technology and medicine itself, most medical professionals increase the cost of this machinery to increase their own profit, without looking at the effects of the medicines used on a patient.
