Хулиганы спасут мир | Лариса Афанасьева | TEDxSadovoeRing


Кто такие хулиганы? Хулиганы — это люди, которые не готовы сидеть смирно и быть послушными, и поэтому их постоянно пытаются пожурить и обуздать. Многие поддаются и становятся “удобными”, и лишь малая часть остается верна своей бунтарской энергии.
Этой неуемной, взрывной, мощной энергии обычно очень много в, так называемых, “трудных подростках” — а значит, именно этот возраст особенно неудобен взрослым «дядям и тетям». Но Лариса Афанасьева уверена, что это самая важная сила — не соглашаться с привычным и задавать вопросы миру. Ведь именно бунтари, в итоге, создают так много важных вещей и именно они способы спасти наш мир.
Лариса Афанасьева – режиссер и художественный руководитель цирка «Упсала», в котором участвуют дети из групп социального риска. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Красота - страшная сила | Гульнара Бажкенова | TEDxAstanaWomen


Красота призвана спасти мир. Но искаженная в «кривом зеркале» общественных стереотипов, она может быть разрушительной силой.

Технологическое Средневековье | Ekaterina Shulman | TEDxSadovoeRingWomen


Присутствуем ли мы при закате эпохи централизованных государств, массового общества и общеобязательных ценностей? Политологи выдвигают версию, что суверенитет государств размывается на двух уровнях: часть полномочий делегируется наднациональным союзам и договорам. Второй уровень — движения за права автономий и городских агломераций, концентрирующих финансовые, производственные и людские ресурсы. Лоскутное одеяло, конкуренция юрисдикций, сеть союзов — Первый мир не видел такого с тех пор, как централизованные абсолютистские монархии выиграли историческое соревнование. Они и сформировали наши представления о великом и ничтожном, рациональном и безумном, прогрессивном и отсталом. Времена меняются? Ценности меняются? Ориентиры сдвигаются? Но как и куда?

The Super Mario Effect - Tricking Your Brain into Learning More | Mark Rober | TEDxPenn


When 50,000 of Mark Robers 3 million YouTube subscribers participated in a basic coding challenge, the data all pointed to what Rober has dubbed the Super Mario Effect. The YouTube star and former NASA engineer describes how this data-backed mindset for life gamification has stuck with him along his journey, and how it impacts the ways he helps (or tricks) his viewers into learning science, engineering, and design. Mark Rober has made a career out of engineering, entertainment, and education. After completing degrees in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University and the University of Southern California, Rober joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2004. In his nine years as a NASA engineer, seven of which were on the Mars rover Curiosity team, Rober worked on both the Descent Stage (the jet pack that lowered the Rover to the surface) and some hardware on the Rover top deck for collecting samples. In 2011, Rober’s iPad-based Halloween costume helped launch both his creative costume company, Digital Dudz, and his YouTube channel, which now boasts 3 million subscribers and 400 million views. His videos focus on creative ideas and science- and engineering-based pranks and activities. Rober is a regular guest on «Jimmy Kimmel Live!». Today, he does research and development work for a large technology company in Northern California, where he lives with his wife and son.

Mindset is Everything | Cole Bennett | TEDxUIUC


Cole Bennett came up with the idea for Lyrical Lemonade while still in High School. Through his talk, he walks through what it took to grow Lyrical Lemonade into what it is today along with how he navigated the music world. His talk emphasizes why having a passion for what you do can change the game and bring you success no matter the obstacle. As CEO of Lyrical Lemonade, Cole Bennett has produced some of hip hop’s most viewed videos. Entrepreneur Cole Bennett is not afraid to confront risks to move ideas and creative expression forward. Growing up in Plano IL, Cole enjoyed bringing ideas to life. Whether, creating comics or making skits with friends, he always loved to create. At 17 years old and a senior in high school, Cole produced his first music video. Discovering this deep passion, he founded Lyrical Lemonade while still in high school. After graduation, Cole moved to Chicago to attend DePaul University and further chase his dreams for Lyrical Lemonade.

His imprint, Lyrical Lemonade, is now a multi-faceted company that specializes in visual content, live events, high demand merchandise and more. At the age of 22, Cole has now directed over 300 music videos for some of the most influential artists that have amassed over 2.8 billion views.

As the Summer approaches, Bennett is exploring another adventure — preparing to enter the beverage business with his very own lemonade. The lemonade launch is just in time for the second annual Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash, a hip hop music festival expected to bring together 20,000 people in Douglas Park, Chicago.

The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong | Amy Morin | TEDxOcala


Каждый человек может стать психологически устойчивым, но большинство не знает как.

Мы часто интересуемся тем, как развить физическую силу или улучшить физическое здоровье, и гораздо реже задумываемся о силе духа или психическом здоровье.
Но существуют упражнения, с помощью которых мы можем научиться контролировать свои мысли, управлять своими эмоциями и оставаться продуктивными вне зависимости от обстоятельств. Это три главных фактора психологической устойчивости. Выработка силы духа — залог успеха вне зависимости от того, каких целей вы хотите достичь.

Эми Морин — лицензированный клинический социальный работник и психотерапевт. С 2002 года она занимается консультированием детей, подростков и взрослых. Она также работает адъюнкт-преподавателем психологии.
