Through this video, Dass is able to show that "our racially charged skin color labels -- red, white, brown -- is not only inaccurate but also absurd. Instead, she shows us that "these colors make us see each other as different, even though we are equal." I found it interesting as she made use of what today's technology can do by using social media to spark discussions on ethnic identity - without regard to factors like nationality, origin, economic status, age or aesthetic standards.

Angélica Dass’s photography challenges how we think about skin color and ethnic identity. In this personal talk, hear about the inspiration behind her portrait project, Humanæ, and her pursuit to document humanity’s true colors rather than the untrue white, red, black and yellow associated with race.

I think this speaker did very well to include humor in such a serious topic . Although not very relevant to us, I feel it is a very tragic and serious issue not all of us know about.

Khadija Gbla: My mother’s strange definition of empowerment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Khadija Gbla grew up caught between two definitions of what it means to be an "empowered woman." While her Sierra Leonean mother thought that circumsizing her - and thus stifling her sexual urges - was the ultimate form of empowerment, her culture as a teenager in Australia told her that she deserved pleasure and that what happened to her was called "female genital mutilation."

It relates to many people who are looking down on themselves. I also find that the way she engages her audience and her speech is very well done. Also her talk is not just only talking but she includes humour and it also brings a connection between her and the audience. This talk then becomes very intriguing and a topic where many can understand and relate to her pitch.

Personality is a really important thing in everyone's lives but do you really know what your personality? The psychologist started by talking about the traits of introverted and extroverted people and how we always want to find out what type of personality we have.
But we shouldn't judge a person by their 'type' of personality instead we should look at what their core projects are in life before determining what kind of person they are.

The speaker managed to retain the attention of the audience very well and the flow of the presentation was smooth.

Also, I find that this topic is relevant to us DMC students on how we should be mindful about what we say on the Internet, and not to jump on the bandwagon to agree with other people  just for the sake of agreeing.

What first captured my attention about the video was the title. Viewers would initially think this is ironic considering that Russell's profession is entirely centric on her attractiveness and good looks. However, Russell's speech completely changes this when she has an outfit change in front of the audience, underlining the fact that looks count on how people perceive us. She adds interest to her speech by drawing parallels to her cover shoots and personal photos and weaving in personal stories that add weight to her speech

The reason that compelled me to click this video was the beautiful artwork in the video's thumbnail. Thus, the main reason why I found this talk to be interesting was how genuine the artist was in portraying how climate change affects beautiful islands such as Maldives in her pastel drawings. She appealed to her audience with both the heart, and mind.

I found this talk to be particularly interesting as Andrew Soloman address different "illnesses" and showcases how his impression of all of them changed. His main point was about how parents "love, no matter what" and will do anything for their children, despite their mental or physical disabilities. It basically taught me that a parent's love for their child is one that is indescribable and one will not understand unless they have a child of their own.

It is part of human nature, the intrinsic feeling that we do not like to be watched. No matter how much we might feel we might have nothing to hide, we are always not able to be completely ourselves when there are people watching. This video is extremely insightful and it reveals to us the surveillance society where everything is increasingly becoming monitored.

This TED talk is probably my favourite ever because of how relatable it is to my life and just me in general. He was able to encapsulate in a very simple yet practical way. He also engages the audience very well with his humour and brought a very different yet true look on the minds of procrastinators.

By Bryan
I found this talk interesting because I've always been fond of travelling. But always assumed that the only limiting factor is money. Tomislav showed me how he travelled the world with 0 money and  still had a fruitful journey. He got to meet new friends, discover new locations and more importantly, enriched his life. He had experiences that even money can't buy. I've always thought of travelling as a leisure and recreational activity. But now I know that its much more than that; its a Journey, A lesson, An experience. He ended off with a really great quote: " In 20 years time, you will be disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do."
