Response To Suki Kim's Ted Talk
After watching Suki Kim on her Ted Talk, I believe she would wish the North Koreans had the first amendment. 1- (3:52) “They had never heard of Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs. Facebook, Twitter -- none of those things would have meant a thing. And I could not tell them”. Nobody knew about the outside world, and Suki couldn’t tell them about it.
. 1- (4:18) “I went there looking for truth. But where do you even start when an entire nation's ideology, my students' day-to-day realities, and even my own position at the universities, were all built on lies”.
The government always is telling the people lies about the outside world and about everything else. 1- (6:06) “These

    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 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.…

    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…

    Murray then addresses 3 major points of disagreement that Muslims have with the Christian faith, shows how one can reveal the truth of them to those we encounter, and use it to point to the Bible and Christ’s work as the revealing word and atonement of God. First is the understanding of scriptures validity.

The history we are taught is not always the history which occurred as it occurred, instead, we are often limited to the history of the powerful class or those who “won”. Ehrman incites a lust for knowledge and understanding within the…

    All the news and information that is passed to the people is looked over by the government many times and they only let the people know what they think is necessary.

Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted,...…

    Assisted suicide is a highly controversial topic. Assisted suicide is when, upon request, a doctor prescribes a lethal dose of medication to a terminally ill patient so that the patient can kill him or herself. In other words, a doctor provides the means for a patient to commit suicide. A form of assisted suicide is euthanasia. Euthanasia is when the doctor intentionally kills the patient with the intentions of ending the patient’s suffering; mercy killing. Although there have been many Supreme Court rulings on assisted suicide and the practice of euthanasia, it is legal in some states like Oregon and Washington. The practice of assisted suicide is done under the term “terminally ill.” There is no concrete interpretation of the phrase. Therefore, the phrase terminally ill can be interrupted according to which ever definition works best for us. Assisted suicide also causes mistrust between patients and doctors, unnecessary deaths, and involuntary suicide. Assisted suicide has a profound affect on family relationships, doctor-patient relationships, and ethical standards because of the mistrust it creates and the controversy over the issue. Assisted suicide and the use of euthanasia should be outlawed everywhere in the United States, not just in some states. Because euthanasia is a form of assisted suicide, I will, for the purpose of this paper, address the terms “assisted suicide” and “euthanasia” as one practice.…
