https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca Class thoughts about his TED Talk en-us 2018-03-02 19:03:41 UTC 2018-04-08 14:43:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237600743 I think Zak speaks the truth and shows that the person's character is not made of the one's religion or follow-up,it's the choice you choose. Zak shows that he is not his father.Though his father was a terrorist and his idol, Zak decided to choose a better path than his father.]]> 2018-03-02 20:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237600743 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237613760 This TED talk made me think about our self regulation and our actions we choose for ourselves. It showed me just because you're ancestry are something that you don't want to be dose'nt mean that you have to become like them. Our story is our own not our parents. We decide what we need to be or do.]]> 2018-03-02 21:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237613760 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237614951 Zak's father was a terroist, but that doesn't mean that Zak is also one. In his Ted talk, Zak talked about his life. He said that his father was his idol, but then his father brought shame to the family. I think that the message of Zak's Ted talk was that you don't need to be like father, like son. He chose not to be like his father and I think that that was the right choice.]]> 2018-03-02 21:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237614951 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237633653 Zak changed his name so he wouldn't be like his father(a terrorist).Zak never has any friends because he was always moving and he was getting bullied a lot. You always have a choice to follow the ways of your parents or choose your own path,in this case Zak did the right thing going with the path of freedom with his mom rather than having to be a terrorist like his father.He thought his father was his idol until he did some criminal stuff like putting 1500 explosives in a van and exploding other places.]]> 2018-03-02 22:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237633653 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237637102 Zak Ebrahim had a tough childhood, he kept getting bullied because he kept moving and he was always the new kid and it was a target to get bullied, he explained how it was hard to be the son of a terrorist but how he chose peace over being a terrorist like his father.]]> 2018-03-02 23:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237637102 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237638034 I think Zak would be devastated as the son of the man who betrayed his family and religion. Imagine your father was the one who tried to blow up something. Zak had the choice whether or not to follow his father and made a choice most kids would make. This TED talk taught me that you do not have to always be like your family. Zak had a hard childhood being the target of bullies and moving a lot]]> 2018-03-03 00:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237638034 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237643756 Even though, he got bullied he was brave. Also even his father was trying to blow up the place he got through it. It is his choise to follow his dad or not so..... he didn’t follow his dad and that was a right thing. Zak and his mom might have a hard time to getting through this because of his father I still think he managed to survive. Keep up the good work!]]> 2018-03-03 01:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237643756 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237702615 This Ted Talk was very emotional and some people can relate to his story. He was separated from his father and changed his name. Zak was bullied growing up, but he was brave. He knew his father was wrong, but he had to live with it. He had to live knowing people expected him to be like his father. But Zak is not his father.]]> 2018-03-03 16:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237702615 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237730206 race, religion, color, sex. none of these have to do with the way a person thinks. Zak talks about how his mother and him walk away from a dad who is a terrorist. u dont have to follow exactly in your idols footsteps, you can make your own. (pretty sure doesnt make sense, but mehhh) ]]> 2018-03-03 20:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237730206 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237746319 Zak's TED talk made me think that even if anyone you know or love turns out bad, that you don't need to follow in their steps. In his case, Zak's father is a terrorist who did many bad things, and in his Ted talk, Zak talks about how he is not at all like his father and he changed his name because he did not want anymore to do with a terrorist.I think Zak is also very brave because it takes a lot of courage to tell a big audience that one of your family members is a terrorist because, even though it is really unfair, you may be judged as one also.]]> 2018-03-04 01:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237746319 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237798235 In this TedTalk,I realized that there are so many people that believe that because ones family member or friend is considered a bad person,it makes that person bad aswell.The truth is,you have a choice wether you want to follow or not.]]> 2018-03-04 14:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237798235 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237805698 I think that Zak said a really important point in his TED talk. Just because of his father being a terrorist, it does not not mean that Zak is too. He talked about how he got bullied and had to move several times. Zak Ebrahim changed his name because of his father that was a terrorist. His childhood was very tough since it was only him and his mother.]]> 2018-03-04 15:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237805698 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237810913 This talk made me think about how it would feel if my dad was to try to blow something up!!! For me, I would of been devastated to here what my dad has done. It would make my dreams crushed to have heard that the guy that I looked up to and thought that I wanted to be like was a terrorist. Zak did the right thing to not be like his dad and that it is his own option what to be when you are older.]]> 2018-03-04 16:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237810913 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237814966 I think that he’s not his dad and he shouldn’t have a hard time being bullied. He’s being stereotyped and that’s not fair.He made the right choice and because of that he’s gonna have glorious luck.Don’t follow your family if there doing bad things like putting explosives in a van. Just because they're your family you don’t follow if there doing bad things.]]> 2018-03-04 16:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237814966 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237817350 I think that even though someone your related to is ''Bad'' that does not mean that you are, its your actions that make you who you are. I also think that Zak really proved that because of his father he also had to face pain through out his childhood.]]> 2018-03-04 17:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237817350 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237827456 Zak got bullied because his dad's a terrorist. other people  think Zak's bad because of his dad. just because Zak's dad is bad doesn't mean that  he is the same.
  ]]> 2018-03-04 18:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237827456 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237861652 This Ted talk really got me thinking about how Zak made the right choice. I mean his father did something just horrible, and Zak looked up to him. He was so embarrassed that he even changed his name. I think he felt really bad but after all that happened he still made the right choice and did not blow anything up. I think Zak was trying to also tell us all that whoever you seem on the outside, if you are gay, catholic whatever it does not matter. What matters is what you are on the inside. Also If you are reading this Zak... HIIIIIIIIIII!]]> 2018-03-04 22:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237861652 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237863296 This Ted Talk made me think about his life. How he managed to get past all of the horrible memories of his dad. But, he made the right choice to not follow the footsteps of his dad and make a new one. He made the right decision on what to do.]]> 2018-03-04 22:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237863296 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237866354 This TED Talk is very emotional. It gave me a sad feeling because it's not one of my dreams to have my idle (dad) blow up something . He has had a rough childhood moving homes and school's 20 times, he never felt like he really belonged there. Sometimes there are tough decisions to make in life but Zak made the choice not to follow his dad even though he was still known as a terrorist]]> 2018-03-04 22:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237866354 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237887094 Honestly, I thought that his speech was pretty good! I think that the lesson was that you don't have to be like people that you are related to, nor do you have to be influenced by your culture. Also, it's not right to be stereotyped by the way you religion, or by who your relatives are, and what they did. I agree with this moral, because just because your parents or relatives do something, it dosen't mean that you immediately like doing it too. Of course, there will be some exceptions to my example, but who cares? Anyways, I feel bad that just because Zak's Dad was a terrorist, he had to change his name, and move all the time in his childhood. I feel like that isn't really right. I hope that the world will change when we grow up.]]> 2018-03-05 00:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/237887094 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238114225 I think that this talk is trying to say that just because his father was part of the terrorists team, it doesn't mean that Zac will be and do the same.]]> 2018-03-05 14:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238114225 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238279996 I think this talk is very emotional . I think that that's very mean to Zak Ebrahim because it doesn't matter if your father was a terrorist. I also think that Zak chose the right path and he should continue on his way. ]]> 2018-03-05 18:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238279996 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238421390 2018-03-06 01:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238421390 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238429052 This TED talk makes me think that Zak Ebrahim is a very brave guy to stand up to his dad (who is a terrorist). Everyone thought he was like his dad because he was his son and most sons look up to their father as a idol. I think he made the right decision to follow his heart but it must have been a hard decision to do that.]]> 2018-03-06 02:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/238429052 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239491879 I liked this Ted talk because it was honest he spoke truly about his life’s and it shows that religion or look does not mean personality. It also showed that even if someone’s parents aren’t great it doesn’t mean their whole family is]]> 2018-03-08 03:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239491879 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239967691 I think that Zak has a really valid point. Just because somebody's parents or other family do something terrible, doesn't mean they have to do it too. His dad may have been his idol, but he's not anymore. People should get to know each other before judging them. Zak even changed his own name because his given one was his fathers. Nobody should ever stereotype anybody!]]> 2018-03-09 00:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239967691 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239972040 i think Zak Ebrahim's ted talk was really sad because he had to deal with being a son of a man who didn't make good decisions. he also had to deal with bullying and the stress of finally getting to know somebody and then moving to a different place. i personally was really shocked when everybody thought he was like his dad, just because Zak was his son. i think zak made the right decision of following what his heart wants, and putting matters in his own shoes.  ]]> 2018-03-09 00:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239972040 https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239973608 2018-03-09 00:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mahalomonsieur/wnge20so99ca/wish/239973608
