Ted Videos


“Amber Case: We are all cyborgs now” talks about how we are all cyborgs because we use technology to transport ourselves, so that we can be in more than one place at a time. She also talks about how we have a “second self” meaning that we act one way in person and another on the computer. A great example that she gave was facebook and how we interact and connect with other people.

“Why we have too few women leaders” by Sheryl Sandberg, talks about how women are not as confident in themselves like men. I believe that this is true because women are always second guessing themselves and are not willing to debate for what they want. Sheryl also talks about in order for women to be successful in the work force they should follow three things. The three things are sitting at the table, make a partner a real partner, and don’t leave until they leave. I believe that these are great steps to help women build success and become equal to men.

  "Women of Hope" by Morley is a song with very true and meaningful lyrics. She talks about how women have hope and how women have changed. She says a very power line that is if you’re feeling helpless, help someone which basically states that women should come together and raise each other up rather than bringing each other down. Along with the powerful lyrics, pictures of women around the world were playing in the background and the pictures were of women helping and lending a helping hand to each other.

  1. I really liked the description of the last video that you watched, "Women of Hope". It is very common for women to always be in competition with one another and this is very sad because there are so many women that have the ability and urge to help others. I solely believe in the healing of volunteer work and actively helping others in the community. It is a vital part of who I am and I definitely see the healing aspects of it through my own life. I definitely think this video is on the right track, in trying to make women realize the similarities between one another, and not the competition.
