How To Write A Ted Talk Essay

For my first international journal I decided to watch a Ted Talk video online. I sadly couldn’t attend any of the passport events on the DCCC campus do to my class schedule at both Valley and the college. Hopefully in the future I will be able to attend a passport event, because some of my friends went to one and I got to see pictures and videos of the show and it looked like an amazing experience. The Ted Talk I chose to watch was called Social Experiments to Fight Poverty. I found this video in a playlist titled The Quest to End Poverty. There were 12 videos to pick from, but the one about social experiments stuck out to me the most and made me curious as to how something as small as a social experiment could possibly fight something as large as poverty. Poverty is such a large problem all around the world and I feel as if we should do what we can to help, not only in our countries, but others. The speaker in this video was a French woman named Esther Duflo. She started off the talk with a mind-boggling fact, there are 9 million children under the age of 5 that die each year due to poverty
Immunization shots are available in these countries and parents are able to save up enough money to buy them for their children, but the only problem is getting to the vaccination office to receive the shot. The point of this experiment was if they shots were affordable and easily accessible more people would get them for themselves and their children. This experiment in my opinion worked out. They had 3 camps, a normal vaccination office, an easily accessible one and an easily accessible one with incentives. At the end of the experiment the amount of vaccinations given at a normal place went up tremendously since they opened up the office that had incentives. Immunizations will cut down a lot on the 9 million children under 5 that die each
