Analysis Of Robert Waldinger's Ted Talk
This Ted Talk by Robert Waldinger focuses on the Psychological study conducted by Harvard University. The video gives me an entirely different perspective on how to achieve a happy and healthy life. Waldinger states that “It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected.” I believe that I can apply these outcomes to my life by strengthening my bonds with my friends and family. Waldinger implies that by connecting with more people daily, even if it’s just a quick conversation with a stranger can also help to develop a deeper happiness. One of my future goals will be to expand beyond myself in order

    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.…

    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…

    Analysis Of Ted Talk By Jane Mcgonigal

    Can a gamer apply their online skills and traits to real life situations that will solve many of the world's problems? In the TED Talk “Gaming can make a better world” American game designer and author Jane Mcgonigal places much emphasis on the topic of productivity through gaming.

She adopts a provocative tone in the form of “creating a better world” in order to engage the viewers. Mcgonigal gets her point across effectively by establishing that skills spent in gaming can be translated into skills used to create real world; however, she doesn't give any inspiring solutions…

    "The Common Life" Sanders Analysis Essay

    In “The Common Life,” an essay by Scott Russell Sanders, the author tells of a woman who moved from Los Angeles to Indiana. She recalls going to the grocery store without anyone recognizing her, and complains about the level of interest in others’ lives in rural Indiana. Sanders believes the individual should build a web of relationships within his or her community. The relationship between the individual and society as a whole is a complicated one. Some may believe that a more community-geared life can lead to nosy people intruding on one’s personal life, it is necessary for an individual to have a certain level of friendliness and openness towards others and it would be difficult for most people to live isolated from human interaction.…

    Impact Of Technology On Fahrenheit 451

    In a recent study conducted by Matthew Brashears of Cornell University, 2,000 adults were asked the number of friends whom they share a close relationship with. The average response was 2.03 and it decreased from a similar study from 1985, which received an average response of three close friends (Silard. “From Face-to-Face to Facebook”). It is proven that humans thrive on human interaction, so cutting that face-to-face off could damage humans negatively by causing them to suffer more health problems due to physical inactivity and no interaction. “People who, like the Facebook COO, claim that we have never been so connected with each other are missing a vital point: the people making all these "connections" through the Internet and social media are, in the non-virtual plane sometimes referred to as "reality," sitting alone in front of a pixelated screen.” (Silard.). Even though we are able to interact with different of people from around the world, we become isolated from the people around us. People cut off their friends and family and would rather spend time on the…

    The Importance of Social Support on Health

    In theory, social relationships are linked to better health in several ways. They may provide emotional benefits, which include intimacy, a sense of belonging, and self-esteem. They may also offer instrumental and material benefits by providing tangible assistance, such as money, services, goods, guidance, and advice (Kanaiaupuni, Donato, Thompson-Colon, & Stainback 2005). One of the earliest studies on social networks and health was Durkheim’s (1951) work on the association between social isolation and suicide. Since then, many studies have documented the health-enhancing effects of social integration. Social support and social engagement reduce mortality risks and disability, improve disease recovery rates and promote cognitive development and function (Berkman 2000). Biological and personality endowments may also affect social relationships, but social relationships have positive effects on health that are independent of…
