The Ted Talk Summary
The Ted talk is by Rébecca Kleinberger, and the title is “Why you don't like the sound of your own voice”. I chose it because I have never heard someone say that they didn't like the sound of their own voice, but I have heard that when they talk and hear it back they sound different. Rébecca Kleinberger is a voice expert pursuing research as a Ph.D. candidate in the MIT Media Lab’s Opera of the Future group. During her talk, she used a lot of things to prove he this which were people don’t like their voice when recorded but you have to like it because its what makes you, you. She uses "Your voice is also very linked with your hormone levels.", this shows that people may have no control of their hormones but this is what is making your voice

    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…

    How Did Geographic Conditions Affect The Location Of Jamestown

    The English who founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent settlement, came with the intent of finding gold and getting rich by trading with the Indians. As a result of the settler's eagerness for money, they failed to think about the location on which they chose to settle, the swamp. This geographic condition started the colony off to a negative start. The southern colonies did however, have a warm climate, swamps, and thick rich soil. None of the original settlers of the Southern colonies were use to working; therefore they had no food to eat. When John Smith, a key leader in keeping Virginia alive, said to his colonists "No work, no food  the colonists took control and began a new life. As a result of the location of Jamestown, many…

    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.…

    Ted Talk Summary

    In Sara DeWitt’s Ted Talk, “3 Fears About Screen Time for Kids and Why They Are Not True,” she talks about how parents and we, as a society, react when a young child has a technological device. The fears she brings up are that screens are passive, playing games is a waste of time, it distracts children from their education and screens are isolating parents from children. Overall, the Ted Talk was not as effective because it didn’t say what age group it was addressing in the title. Also, as technology is advancing every day, people are continuously and usually positively adapting to it. Therefore, so some of the fears are irrelevant.…

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.

    'Rhetorical Analysis Of Ted Talk'

    This Ted talk intended to inform others about the serious plight of young black boys being raised in America. Clint Smith eloquently described the unfair rules and teachings and restriction sometimes known as “the talk” that is given to black boys of a particular age in an effort to keep them safe. The need for these rules have been brought on by bias, bigotry, racism, and ignorance of other people mostly of other ethnicities and races. “The Talk” may differ from person to person, or house to house but as Clint said in the speech, there were resounding similarities in its content across the board. Even with the seemingly bleak outlook on life that this “talk” may bring he reiterates that parents, teachers and leaders in the community must constantly recite the notion that there is always hope for changes and that we must make our children aware of it.…

    Who Was The Real Monster In Frankenstein

    Who was the real monster in the book Frankenstein? In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, we see the main character, Victor, create a being out of body parts and bring it to life. Over the course of a couple years, this experiment dramatically changes the course of Victor’s life. His creature was not as he intended it to be, so he hated it. Shelley uses Romantic and Enlightenment thought in her horror novel to explain and demonstrate the different emotions of her character. In Frankenstein, Victor is unable to successfully “mother” his creation the way he had envisioned it because he never learned to truly care for others.…
