Kumi Inoue: True Partner (summary)
Script I made
0:14
Thank you my friends.
0:25
I'm very, very happy to be here and I want to thank l the organizers for inviting me. This is a great opportunity, but this isn't about me. This isn't about you. This is about us designing and creating and unforgettable moments here and now. So we are all in this together, we are partners and for the next few moments. Let's think about it. What is a true partner? I want to show me your hand, if you believe you have a true partner in your life or in your business. Who thinks that you have actually think you have a true partner. Please raise your hand. All right. Many. Okay. So I can say this today. I have partners who are very very lucky or optimists. All right. Now, to me, a true partner shares that cat. C, A, T, cat. Three drivers of happiness. "C" stands for the challenge. "A" stands for alignment. "T" stands for trust. The challenge, alignment and trust.
2:19
A true partner challenges you to choose happiness over hate. To choose freedom over fear. Now, what does it mean? let me ask you. Are you afraid of or do you hate something or somebody... do you have something that you hate or do you have something that you hate to do? Raise your hand. Okay. Very honest. Now, how many of you, you love to clean up your house or clean up your rooms?  Please raise your hand. Some. All right. If you happen to be one of those who hate to do the housework  hate to clean the rooms, rooms clean even your rooms, clean the house. If you happen to have a true partner, this is what has going to say to you. Okay? Hate is a choice if you hate to do the cleaning.
3:25
Cleaning up your mess, your clutter and dusting, etc. etc.  You can ignore to hate it even more. Okay? But as I said hate is a choice. Why not replace it with happiness? And you might ask "How could I be happy doing the housework?" Cleaning the house, cleaning is messy, Such a clutter  and true partner says well". I can tell you that if you switch you're thinking, you're going to have this three happinesses.  Okay? Yes! One, you're vacuuming, dusting and removing.....clutter? One, you get the exercise, right? So you stay fit you. You know you want to go to the gym, you have to jog. That's one. Two, look at this place. Okay? Your clutter  is done. You got more space. Wow! This is  beautiful. You see. That makes you feel good. Three, if you happen to be living with someone, your family, your partner, whoever. You're going to be very happy, even more they can give you a hug. That's win, win, win, and happy, happy, happy. So switch from hate to happiness.
4:51
Make a sense also. Okay? Now, what about choosing freedom over fear. Think about it. Do you have something or somebody that you fear, you'er afraid of? Okay? Be honest.
5:06
The study shows in the United States,  more people fear making a public speech as it was standing in my position and making a speech in front of people even though they'er friends. They fear that more than death. You're pretty that you're afraid. How many of you would like to trade places with me and like to make a speech here? Okay, okay! So if you happen to be those who fear standing up in front of people and making a speech. ......So I'm so scared. Your partner come to and you say "fear is a choice. Why do you choose fear? " Choose freedom. Freedom is much crisis and your partner say "Well, think about standing here and letting yourself go, you really think you're feeling that is freedom.
6:07
You're letting your feelings, ideas experiences. Ideas worth spreading. So that's freedom, right? Do you agree? No reactions. Switch from fear to freedom, from hate to happiness. Right? So that's a challenge.That true partner would challenge you to think about at least and do it. Next is "A" alignment. Alignment means to line up beautifully and properly. So just imagine a marching band. Marching band, Okay? And the band... If the trumpet decides I'm going this way. The Drum decides that I'm going this way. What happens?
7:05
It's out of alignment. It's not very beautiful. You've got to have the same direction and keep the proper related distance, right? So that's alignment. A true partner empowers you to be aligned your mind, to your body and your heart in order to maintain total well being, total health. It's very important because sometimes your mind says, especially your frontal lobe of your brain says "Wow, it's midnight, it's time for snacks, I want soup, noodle, ramen of Japanese". l want some, but your body says "Give me a break". And my body or your body screams and says you know you're what you eat, there's this your conflict. Your heart says "please guys don't fight " That's misalignment.
8: 16
So for you well being, Okay? You need  to align these three. they're very important. They're part of your being. And also to be aligned for happiness well being and also..and also to your dream. You want to move toward as the same direction to the vision to great dream, okay?  So that's very important and also your true partner teaches sometimes very important to keep, to maintain a successful relationship. That is to keep the proper distance between your parent. Proper distance, that's very important. You got to close suffocating. If you're get too far. Where is my partner? Lonely. Lonely. You have to maintain the proper distance in other word ouch. "Ouch!" I don't know if you recognize this picture, these are a couple of animals called porcupine. Porcupine. There are animals. There has many, many sharp needles. Do you know what happens? Sharp needles hurt. They want to kiss each other. It's very difficult. They are very, very challenging. Ouch! Ouch! So they don't have to risk their lives. So keep the proper distance, not too far, not to close. That's the alignment.
9:55
Now, "T" Trust. So every one agrees that trust is important. But if you and when you have a true partner, he enables you to trust that you matter. You matter. And also life matters.  Life matters. You matter because you're here for a reason, you're existing, your presence matters.  And if you're thinking really think about someone, someone who smiles, because you're there. You see. Then you matter if you could make one person smile. Then you matter. You can make a difference. You can change the world. You can save the greater goodness if only you choose to do something.
10:56
And life matters. Life matters, because there're so many reasons. You wake up in the morning and open the windows, you extend your arms to the sky and embrace the sun and listen to the sound of the wind and birds. Listen with your hobby, smell the fresh leaves of early summer and if the sun is taking a break. I'm on vacation.
11:30
You can enjoy the concert of raindrops and after the concert, you can enjoy, you can feel of the freshness of the air and you know, sooner or later. Here comes the sun. See if only you stop and you care and you choose to look, to listen, to smell, to taste, to touch and feel. You know that you need in life is filled with wonder than happiness. Life matters. So true partner share the cat, challenge, alignment and trust. Three  very important drivers of happiness. Now, let me ask you one again. Do you have a true partner? Great! I'm very happy for you. Now as for me I do but before I share my story about me and my true partner. Let me draw your attention to compatibility.
12:58
Whether you get along with your partner or not, compatibility is important. And do you know that many Japanese do to find out if they're compatible with their parent or their potential partners? Look up at the night sky and ask the stars, zodiac sign. How many of you know your zodiac sign? Raise your hand. Okay. Almost every one. Every one knows expect for non Japanese people. Okay? Right?  I also know my zodiac sign. It's a kind of attractive name. Crab in Japanese, and in English cancer. Cute. And I am a cancer. I have cancer but it does not have me. I have cancer but it does not have me because I have always been and I am..and I will always be in charge of my life, I'm the boss of my life. Six years ago, I was visited by this uninvited guest and I was overwhelmed. But over the years, this uninvited guest and I have come to terms with each other and have learned to live with each other and cancer and I have become true partners. You don't believe me? right? But we have truly become true partners and my life is never the same because my true partner has forced disruptive change but and me. I have transformed. I am happier and I believe that I'm a better person. Thanks to my true partner. And I mean that he is my true partner because he shares the cat, "C" "A" "T." And I mean that. And let me tell you a little bit about my story. My true partner challenges me to choose happiness over hate.
15:3
Why do we have to in this position on more happiness over hate? And freedom  over fear and trust me on this. I am afraid of noting. I am afraid of noting. I'm so eager to make most of my life and time. My precious time with my friends every moment. And I was never like that before because I feel nothing. I replace that with freedom. Thanks my partner. And so my true partner challenges me to not just survive  but to thrive, thrive in this incredible journney of life.
16:32
"A" alignment. my true partner empowers me to be aligned to my mind, body and my heart. And now I eat the right food and I do the right thing. I'm very  careful and I also care very much about my total well being before I didn't care it so much. Thanks to my partner and also to my dream. My dream is I want to be more useful. I want to change the world. I want if I can change just one person for better on myself better then, I am very happy. So I have dreams and I know I'm going.
17:22
So my true partner has done all that. And another important thing is keeping the right distance with my partner if I think about my true partner 24 hours a day, ouch! So I don't do that. I sometimes forget about my partner. That's good and next is trust. Trust. My true partner enables me to trust that. I matter. I matter and to trust that life matters because life is filled with so many beautiful things, and wonders, and life is worth living on matter what. So this is what my true partner has done for me. Okay. And I can make right choices now. This is my story about me and my true partner. Now some of you may not be blessed with such a powerful partner like mine. And you may be looking for a true partner and some of you might not be very successful. Where is my partner?  Where is she? Where is he? My advice, trust me on this. Just stop. Perhaps, perhaps, you're not looking for your partner in the right place. Where are you looking? What are you looking for?
19:15
And stop and listen to your inner voice, inner voice. And you'll start listening and hear the voice of your partner, because your true partner is right there with you within your heart waiting to be discovered. Your true partner is you. So this is my story. This is my advice. That's a true partner. I choose to be happy. Thank you very much. Thank you for being great partners.

Summary

I don't believe that this become the last stage for the speaker, because she passed away two months after this. She must have noticed her condition. I wanted her to stand on the TED stage more. My reader who recommend me this talk and I want her talk to be known by many people. This has power and energy that's enough to encourage you and she kindly and beautifully told us.

You have to align with your true partner. By trusting you and your true partner, you can believe you matter and life matter. Stop looking for a true partner and listen to your inner voice. Your true partner will wait to be discovered by you. Your true partner is you, yourself.

Full text of President Obama’s speech at Pearl Harbor (article)
Summary
Why is Hiroshima only paid attention, when we think and talk about The World War II? Have many Japanese listened carefully to Obama's great speech? People should not blame what other people did but they ignore what themselves did. All countries have bad memories which occurred a long time ago, and which they don't want to talk about. They want to hide them. Obama said, "As nations, and as people, we cannot choose the history that we inherit, but we can choose what lessons to draw from it, and use those lessons to chart our own futures.
However, I think that these words would only deserve the citizens who admit their history. In Hiroshima, no Japanese people would say the same things if Obama speeches about the power of reconciliation in Hiroshima.
Please tell the speech to Hiroshima.
"There is more to be won in peace than in war. The reconciliation carries more rewards than retribution." There are victims of war not only in Hiroshima but in Pearl Harbor and other countries. We should take it very seriously and send the message to the world.

Shinzo Abe at Pearl Harbor: ‘Rest in Peace, Precious Souls of the Fallen’(script)
Summary
On  May 2016, President Obama visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, where the United States first dropped an atomic bomb in Japan nearly 75 years ago. As an American president, he was the first person who visited there.
On December 27, 2016, the prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe stood there at Pearl Harbor, wherein after the war, Japanese minister had never visited but this is the place where the Imperial Japanese soldiers went into attack first.
The attack led to the United States'entry into The World War II. I want people in the world to think that the two events can create the power of reconciliation. And then I think that the most important thing is that we Japanese people's attitudes have to make this word "reconciliation"  better. When we think and talk about The World War II and Hiroshima, we have to admit what happened at Pearl Harbor more. We have to give precious souls of the fallen rest in peace. We must never repeat the horrors of war again. We continue to remember them but we continue our efforts.

Bono 2: The good news on poverty (Yes, there's good news)

TED2013
Bono 2: The good news on poverty (Yes, there's good news) (script)
Summary
The speaker Bono is Irish who received the TED prize on 2005 and he has tackled the anti-poverty campaigning for 25 years. In fact, there has been inequality and poverty from three millennia. At last, we can see the good news about it and it's speeding up. Some African countries are getting drugs to save from HIV and AIDS and from malaria, children started to be saved. The child mortality rate is decreasing. Thanks to the world financial support. People living in huge poverty is going to zero in 2030.
All people can choose their lives, it'll change despair to hope. However,  the activities should be continued and there's still work to do. We face a new problem that is political corruption. In developing countries, oil is the most important resource but it shouldn't be controlled by government and companies. It should be distributed to people living there.
There's still work to do because the power of people gathering is so much stronger than their authority.

TED prize 2005 Bono 1:My wish: Three actions for Africa (script)
Summary
The speaker said in this talk that Africa was a magical place. However, many African people are dying every single day but the cause is a preventable or treatable disease. That is not the cause. That has already been an emergency but we don't look at it. This is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality. It's never allowed to happen anywhere else. Actually, African might mock our ideas and concern, but we have to do. It's because this is not all that about theoretical charity. This is about justice.  His three wishes are to build a social movement for Africa, to just hit them who are living on less than one dollar a day, and to connect their lives to every hospital, health clinic and school in one African country. What we do is not only to save African lives but we can also receive goodwill, stability, and security of would.
How do you answer if you're asked by African to take his son with you? His son would live in your country, but in his country, his son would die.

TED prize 2013 Sugata Mitra 3: Build a School in the Cloud (script)
Summary
What kind of job can you get in the future by only having the skills you learn now?
The world has lots of computers. However, children, especially children living in poor areas don't know about it and they don't even have a chance to touch them. Education should be equal for all children. They have abilities to learn themselves. They won't need teachers. If someone who teaches children just admires them, their skills will get better.
Self Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) is a school that the speaker wants to create in the cloud. It's designed for the future of learning where children all over the world freely learn with their own hands. Furthermore, they can enjoy and cooperate with their friends. They don't need to go to boring schools unwillingly. They can be ready for their own future.

Sugata Mitra2: The child-driven education (script)
Summary
You can use a computer when you study something, can't you? However, there are many children in the world who can't receive good education still but they don't have a computer. Furthermore, there are very far areas from the city and teachers don't want to go there where English is not used  also.
Then the speaker noticed that all children have a motivation that they can learn themselves and those problems can be solved simultaneously.
He is building a furniture. Why it is called like that. It is because it started in some slums by a computer embedded into a wall like a furniture. It's called the Self Organized  Learning Environments (SOLE) and tested many times. Children can learn many things by themselves, by using it. Even if there is no teacher there, they can study.
It's needed more tests. Education happens when children have interest. It should be started.

enthusiastic / prosperous, extensive, energetic

Sugata Mitra1: Kids can teach themselves

TED 2007
Sugata Mitra1: Kids can teach themselves (script)
summary
What do you think about taking education and technology? You think that it won't be needed there, don't you. It shows that there are students who can receive better education already. It's because it's tested in the best schools in the urban. There are perfect teachers and perfect schools there. If students live in areas which are very far from the city, and which teaches don't want to go, they won't receive better education. Future educational technology should be used for such students. We have to think that remoteness affects the quality of education. Educational technology should be introduced into remote areas first. There are values that doctrine and dogma are imposed on the education. Leaving is most likely a self organizing system. It's not how to use the correct technology for education but an educational technology should be digital, automatic, fault tolerant, minimally invasive, connected and self organized. It's because children in the world have skills that can teach themselves.
Words in this story
remoteness / solitude, isolation
doctrine / a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group.
dogma /a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. : teaching, belief

TED prize 2014 Charmian Gooch: My wish: To launch a new era of openness in business (script)
Summary
Now some companies are stealing millions from citizens around the world. Then its companies are hidden by anonymous companies. It makes it almost hard to find and hold them responsible. It quite spread. Anonymous companies really work for sanctions busting. It's because opening an anonymous company is really easy. You don't need indemnification. There are company service providers which legally create anonymous companies. Even if you don't use your true name but you can use nominees, it's not for public record. And then, you can simply add layers that mean that companies owed by companies again and again.
In the past, companies were created to limit financial risk and to give people a chance to innovate, but now it's forgotten. However, it shouldn't be all accepted what companies do or how company structures are used. Anonymous companies shouldn't exist to protect our society and we have to know who owes and control companies.
Words in this story
anonymous / (of a person) not identified by name; of unknown name.

Summary
In the near future, you can probably find Itjtawy which was ancient Egypt's capital over four thousand years ago by using satellite data. It's not enough to see and find it with your naked eyes. Using NASA topography, it can map very subtle landscape where there was  the Nile river. It showed a very slight raised area there and the work that is coring was done. And then, there was a layer of human occupation that was a dense layer of pottery including carnelian, quartz and agate.

Monica Lewinsky: The price of shame (script)
Summary
When you hear the word "culture",  you probably think about music, art and something that you can be proud of. However, culture includes the definition of habits, traditions, and beliefs. Now, our world has the internet. It's created a lot of things. Among them, culture of humiliation has been created unintentionally. So we don't notice that people's private words, actions, conversations or photos are stolen without consent, and it's made them public without compassion. It's not related to either the fact that someone actually makes a mistake, or whether the person who is famous.
Further, online and technology help make them a public shame . It's unlimitedly and permanently accessible and traffics on the website also. It becomes cyber bullying that leads to excruciating and suicidal tendencies but it numbly continues.
The internet should be a great technology, creating wonderful connection with people and the place where can foster minority influence, not the place  where it spreads culture of humiliation.
There is lack of compassion on not only online but also offline. There is no person who doesn't make a mistake. Anyone even who is suffering from shame and public humiliation deserve compassion. We have to change our world to have a more compassionate world.
Words in this story
consent /  agreement, assent, acceptance, approval
compassion /  pity, sympathy, empathy
foster / cultivate
humiliation / stigma, embarrassment, mortification, shame

Summary
The art can't directly change the world, but it can change perceptions and people's lives. Who is also you if you join the project that the speaker recommend. This is the project using the paper and glue. You only send him pictures and paste the poster that he printed to you. The photos can show and tell your stories to people. Someone pasted the photos to show the diversity in the country. Someone pasted it to fight against homophobia or for their rights.

Summary
Someone explain the art to someone who didn't understand it. That is art that you try to understand it for a long time and you are listening to its explanation to understand well and discuss with your fellows hard. During that time, you haven't thought about what you're going to eat tomorrow.
The art the speaker do is not difficult. The museums are also not necessary. The streets, paper and glue, he only uses it. Although his art might be an illegal art exhibition, it's wonderful for people who can't go to museums and  who are hungry for art and culture to feel it. By using their photos, they can feel that this art belongs to them. And then, this art can travel with their stories.
Everyone must have something that you want to care about or to stand for or tell the story. He can make it art. You can join and reveal it to the world. This is one step to change the world. It can't directly change, but the art can change perceptions.

Bjorn Lomborg: Global priorities bigger than climate change

TED 2005
Bjorn Lomborg: Global priorities bigger than climate change (script)
Summary
In the world, there are a lot of problems that there are people starving, dying of HIV and AID, without clean drinking water, and without sanitation. There are people who will be severely affected by climate change also.
The speaker suggests us to prioritize the big problems in the world. It means that people decide what should be the top priorities and the bottom priorities of the solutions that they have to the world's biggest issues. It's because we don't actually solve all problems. It won't be good that spending a lot of money doing a little good. Money of the world has a limit. If we use the money to protect some diseases, it's 10 times more than treating it.
Then he made many people who have a different work write the top and the bottom priorities  list.
The surprising answer was figured out. Even while Americans and other people said that the malnutrition and diseases are solved at the top and climate change at the bottom. He summarized that let's do not the things that we can do very little at a very high cost and we don't know how to do, but let's do the great things that we can do an enormous amount of better at very low cost, right now.
However, I don't think that. It's because until now we seek only benefit to do something that everybody wants to do at first. Its outcome is the present. Developing countries force responsibility onto developed countries. Developed countries force all things that developing countries can't do onto them. So this is the time for all countriesto to cooperate. The money have to be used for the protection that the speaker said. Before our earth becomes heavy ill which called climate change, we have to protect it.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the TEDWomen Conference (script)
The Ronald Reagan Building. Washington, D.C.
Summary
Even in the United States, men and women are not equal. In the world, there are many inequalities. The world has its problems such as; women can't go to school, girls have to get married early and there is  violence against women. And then, those problems are hidden and even the victims can't talk about them. If the countries send girls to school even just for one year, their lives and countries can be changed dramatically. The countries, men and boys have to admit to value not only their sisters and daughters but all women and girls, and to invest in them.
Every woman and girl in the world have to be empowered and have a chance to live up their dreams and aspirations as well. There are many things to do together for them. It's worth for us, says the speaker Hillary Clinton .
I'm a Japanese woman. Although Japan receives attention that there's the discrimination against women by the United Nations, there's no person who talks about the problem like Hillary Clinton in this TED Talk. Japanese people have to know and talk about our women's issues more.

TED2004
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Flow, the secret to happiness (script)
Summary
In the world, there are people who are happy, even if they don't have money. So when they're doing something, they probably feel their life meaningful and worth doing, even if they don't expect either fame or fortune at the moment. The speaker says that this is a ecstatic state.
A moment of ecstasy is there that it happens in the completely concentrating process automatically and spontaneously. It can only happen  to someone who is very well trained and who has developed techniques. It doesn't make that person feel himself/herself existence like his hand that seems to be moving itself or something that you want to do just flows out naturally. It happens in different realms.
The speaker calls this type of experience "the flow experience" and says that for everyone has flow channel. The moment is that 1) you know that exactly what you want to do, 2) you get immediate feedback. 3) You know that what you need to do is possible, even though 4) it might be difficult. 5) Your sense of time disappears, 6) you forget yourself and 7) you feel part of something larger.
You begin to feel that your life meaningful and worth doing. It'll make you happy.

Roman Mars: Why city flags may be the worst-designed thing you've never noticed (script)
Summary
The definition of design is to make life better and provide joy. All around us has the design. If you pay attention more and seriously think about all forms of design the world will be turned beautiful by magic.
The speaker talked to us about the design while giving flag examples. It's because you can understand the design of almost anything, if you understand the design of flags, what makes a good or bad flag at once. The flags are close to us and work on our emotions.

There are the great country flags in the world. Those have important principles which are simple, deep meaning, having few colors, no lettering and distinctive. They'll obey it because they're on the international and the stakes are high.
However, city, state and regional flags seem different somehow. Every great city needs a great flag, doesn't it? It'll lead to creating the good relationship of good design and civic pride. If you had a great city flag, you would have a banner for people to rally under to face those more important things.

Bill and Melinda Gates: Why giving away our wealth has been the most satisfying thing we've done (script)
Summary

So many people don't notice that there's been inequality problems still in our world. You are in an unbelievable situation just to be there and to have a great education. You have a responsibility to give back to the world.

When Bill and Melinda Gates noticed that, they built their foundation. The world they saw was many diseases that killed so many kids. However, you just go down to the drug store in other contries.
Their mother could not receive a good education. In developing countries, there are people who wanted to use contraceptives but they were struggling. It was not on the global stage. Melinda Gates finally realized that she just had to do it.
When new vaccines are invented and it's delivered rightly, it leads to a miracle. They can face and fight against the would's unequal problems, it makes them excited. The philanthropy is going to grow, to shine some light and to lead to in the right direction, even if the government has something that is not just good at working. If you take from the most wealthy and give to the least wealthy, it's good. It tries to balance out and that's just.

Melinda Gates 2, Let's put birth control back on the agenda

TEDxChange 2014
Melinda Gates 2, Let's put birth control back on the agenda (script)
Summary
Progressing of the issue starts from you talk  to other people about it. You can learn by talking to other people, by  doing, by trying and by mistakes.  Today's topic is about contraception and birth control. This is the agenda  that has to be discussed more. In our world, men and women should be free to decide whether they want to conceive a child or not.
However, our minds will be controlled by the thought that  1) talking about sex is uncomfortable. 2) Contraception is the same as abortion but 3) it increases the likelihood that lots of sex happens outside marriage. 4) Controlled populations  shouldn't be planted.
What the speaker wants to say is completely different. What she wants to talk about is giving women the power to save their lives and  their children's lives, and to give their families the best possible future. They can avoid pregnancy  that they don't want and  control over how many children they have. They can also think about their business that they might not think about it if they have many children and they will be able to afford to give their children good education.
This is a very powerful idea. It means that parents have the ability not to just accept the future as it is but to affect it. You can get to make choices about your lives. This is  the agenda that the world has to  discuss.
Words in this story
pregnancy /noun/  pregnant /adj/
contraceptive /noun/ a device or drug serving to prevent pregnancy.
contraception /noun/ the deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation by any of various drugs, techniques, or devices; birth control.
controversy /noun/ controversial /adj/ giving rise or likely to give rise to public disagreement.

Melinda Gates 1, What nonprofits can learn from Coca-Cola

TEDxChange 2010
Melinda Gates 1, What nonprofits can learn from Coca-Cola (script)
Summary
This was a mistake that is an assumption that if people need something, it makes them want that. You really have to work with the community. And then, people  start to understand what they really want. It changes communities and it leads to changing whole nations. It's like Coca-Cola ubiquitous. Coca-Cola is everywhere where you don't expect.
It's because many real time data is gathered and feed  it back immediately. Even if it's remote village, entrepreneurs are hired and incredible marketing is done. If this global network is used for the world health care, vaccinations and sanitation. It'll make people, especially children and mothers be healthy and have a successful life.
The speaker asks us one more. If there is  no lack of money, polio can be eradicated.
Coca-Cola marketing can be said of  the state that happiness is ubiquitous.

In 2014, ebola was outbrakeing and people died. However, there were  many doctors and health workers who work there. Fortunately, ebola did not spread through the air. It didn't get into many urban areas that time. Thus, we need to think that this is the warning to prepare something that is the next epidemic. Now, science and technology help us to prepare them. We have to make the world safer. It's to protect us from serious diseases.

TED Talks Education 2013
Bill Gates 4, Teachers need real feedback (script)
Summary
If the students get more great education, it would make the world more successful. In order for this, the system that teachers can get real feedback more have to be set. People who teach something to someone have one of the most important jobs in the world, but they get little useful feedback. They deserve better and the system should help them improve. Teaching should be the job that teachers can find careers that's fulfilling and rewarding have a chance to live out their dreams. Now, the speaker Bill Gates foundation processes a project called Measures of Effective Teaching. It created the system that you can observe through watching videos of teachers in the classroom and rate how they did on a range of practices. Teachers can learn how to teach better and what good teachers are doing.  Watching a video of the best teachers  in the world, leads to creating a better teacher. Teachers' evaluation should be changed.

TED 2011
Bill Gates 3, How state budgets are breaking US schools (script)
Summary
Do you care about your country budgets? We need to care about them more. They're important. They're big money but they get very little scrutiny and the understanding is very low. In fact, most of them leaves deficit but liabilities are building up. The budgets lose their balance but there are many trick.
They come from the fact that certain long term obligations which mean the age structure that are health care, early retirement and pension. These mis-accounting things allow to develop over time, it led to a big problem. And then, the worst thing is not to be improved but education spending is cut.
However, education spending is the key for our kids and our future. You should not think that it's short term interests. The investment in the young, that makes us great. After all, it'll contribute us in the future. Repeat, we need to care about state budgets because they're critical for our kids and our future.
Also in Japan, this problem is improved more, because Japan faces aging of the population.

Bill Gates 2, Innovating to zero!

TED 2010
Bill Gates 2, Innovating to zero! (script)
Summary
This was a long talk. There are lots of problems which we have to solve in our world there. It's too many and too difficult to summarize.
What is innovating to zero?
The speaker Bill Gates was a parson who performed exactly a miracle about computers we use now. His current activity is to help the poorest two billion live better lives. When he thought of it, he realized that for reducing poverty, energy is very important. They can't use it enough. However, now people in the world use it too much. It leads to climate change. It'll make them become poorer, because their crops won't grow. However, using it is not able to stop.
All energy can't change the renewable sources, because the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow every day. It leads to the price of energy has come up. It'll again send them poorer. He had reached the conclusion which is to zero now releasing CO2.  We have to use miracle which is innovation to zero again like our computers. This time, there is a limitation.
And then, he surprisingly hope to proceed the idea of TerraPower. It's because 1) just using nuclear is usually costly. 2) Above all, it doesn't release CO2.  3) This crazy idea can solve the problem that is about the waste of nuclear. He also said that you have to think of our problems as long team one, because here are many things that we can't solve for short term. The now skeptics probably pay for the mistakes a lot later.
However, the talk was told before 2011. 2011 is the year when the big nuclear accident occurred in Japan. Thus, I think that it should be strongly proceeded. Probably he also thinks that, but the world will be put in a more difficult situation.
In this TED talk, he introduced some speakers.

Bill Gates1, Mosquitos, malaria and education

TED 2009
Bill Gates1, Mosquitos, malaria and education (script)
Summary
Somehow, this Japanese title is the current activities of Bill Gates.  Why malaria and education aren't used, although there two things are his current activities. One is to stop a deadly disease: malaria. It can cut the childhood deaths dramatically.  Next is how education makes better. Why this problem should be solved is that education is the most important thing to get right for the county. It's because countries should have the skills to create strong countries and to solve other problems for our future.
As we know, our world has a lot of problems. Of course, they don't get worked on nationally. In fact, the market, the scientists, the communications, and even the governments don't pick them in the right way. The private sector and the system of society don't naturally put something into them. Those problems need skills to solve. Bill Gates said that people who can pay attention to them and who can care and draw other people in them, only such people can progress them forward.  He optimistically thinks about them, because by cooperating with brilliant people and you,  some great things will come to our world. It'll draw other people more and more.

Paul Nicklen: Animal tales from icy wonderlands (script)
Summary
I read this article before l watched this video. I don't understand what the speaker told well. Why is it a great thing that in the Antarctica and Arctic, you can see that leopard seals are eating big penguins? And then, leopard seal grabbed penguin and put it in front of him many times. It's just like that she who means leopard seal tries to feed him a penguin and says to him why he doesn't eat it, he is going to starve in this cold ocean where she thinks that there is no other food. This was just the food chain. The penguins which are called cute are eaten, the eating penguins leopard seals which are called ugly feed you and in under the ice where other animal can't live billions of amphibian and copepods live. They're moving around, feeding on, giving birth and living out their entire life there. It's not exaggerated to say that there is the foundation of the whole food chain in the natural world.
Reducing and losing ice in the sea is often told. It means to lose an entire ecosystem. Many species will be extinct. To protect them and for you strongly feel it, you should go and see those beautiful Animal in icy wonderlands.

Steven Levitt 2, Surprising stats about child carseats

TEDGlobal 2005
Steven Levitt 2, Surprising stats about child carseats (script)
Summary
In our modern world, driving a car is usual, but car accidents sometimes happen. No matter what happens, you just want to save your child from the car crash. Thus, many people use the car seat. However, it's very expensive and it's very complicated to use.
Are people happy and satisfied to use it? Is this so cost-effective?
The speaker strongly says that using the car seat has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. There's statistically insignificant differences in injury between car seats and lap-and-shoulder belts. He has some evidence from tests and data.
However, people continue to use the car seat even if it's very expensive and it's very complicated to use but the fatal accident happened. The government also agrees to use it, even if its tests don't have 100 percent score to be safe.
He says many times that it's not so clear that it is so cost-effective.
I think about this problem, people can't compare whether it's so cost-effective or not.  It's because it relates deaths of children especially . People who lose their children in a car crash want someone or something to be responsible for it. Thus, the car seat become the best equipment. If children die in car crash, you can say that you installed it wrongly or in the test, it didn't say that 100 percent can help. There are many kinds of accident patterns. You can also say this to parents who don't use it, "Children might be able to be helped if you use it." That will be told to the children who were helped. All thanks to the car seat.
Thus, if it's not so clear that it is so cost-effective, people continue to use the car seat.

Steven Levitt 1, The freakonomics of crack dealing

TED 2004
Steven Levitt 1, The freakonomics of crack dealing (script)
Summary
Economics is the study of the way in which trade, industry, and money are organized.
How is the situation of various economic activity? The speaker could luckily research about the economics of drug dealing. As you know, drug dealers mean people who buy and sell illegal drugs like crack cocaine. Probably you and the media believe that drug dealers would have had very glamorous lives when the crack cocaine was epidemic. Thus, gangs who buy cocaine from drug dealers and who sell it to other people  also had rich lifestyles.
However, gangs did not have good lives, because they didn't have money. But there was no way to make money from the beginning. Gang members didn't know any rich white people who buy expensive cocaine also.
According to his research, it turned out that the org chart of a gang and McDonald's chart and its franchise were similar. The earnings gtadually as we go down to lower members of the org chart. Additionally, there's the risk that someone shoots at the gangs a lot of the time. Its death rate is about  25 percent per person in the gang for four years. First of all, this system does not have sympathy among dealers, gangs and consumers. Only top drug dealers continue to get paid, even if their workers don't get it. It's because the thought of "weak and shit" really works in this system which is an idea economists don't have.
Freak means strange, odd and unusual. Even if a gang and McDonald's  have the same chart, this human activity of drug dealing is something that can't be prdicted. Thus, this would be called the Freakonomics.

Itay Talgam: Lead like the great conductors

TEDGlobal 2009
Itay Talgam: Lead like the great conductors (script)
I think I've fallen in love with a last conductor.
Summary
I stared a last conductor many times, because I thought that the speaker was appearing and conducting. Why did only small? His satisfied small led to creating perfect harmony. Of course he didn't say a word, for example, like saying "start playing or it's good" but he didn't use a baton. Nevertheless, highest music was being created. It must have something more than the quote "If you love something, give it away." the speaker's friend said.
The great leader is creating perfect harmony without saying a word. It's about not only orchestras but also your companies. The leader has his own stories and people have other stories. He have to hear it at the same time. He has to spread happiness and crate joy. And then the ideas that people know what they do even though the leader is not conducing them, have to be cerated. It's naturally created though the reason why is that there is a great leader there.

Jennifer Kahn: Gene editing can now change an entire species — forever   (script)
Summary
Malaria now kills people a lot in the world. However, using pesticides damages other species gravely.
Is it right to use gene drive to protect them? Gene drive can make malaria parasite impossible to survive inside the mosquito. However, I think that I feel it fear.
It's because 1) it's so effective that even an accident release can change an entire species but it's very quick. It can invade other species. 2) Gene drive can be done by any lab. It's easier than we think. 3) Scientists think that gene drives are not frightening. 4) However, humans have a tendency to assume that the safest option is to preserve the status quo. It makes me worry somehow.
The speaker also said that it can be frightening to act, but not acting is worse. Now in the world, incredible gene recombination is invented.
Is this the world that be kept to safe?  We'll have to decide in the near future.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The danger of a single story  (script)
Summary
What is authentically African? Is the answer that people don't drive cars but they are starving?
Reading books is very fun. However, people are too affected from one story to think other things. Especially, the only negative stories are believed. Moreover, it creates stereotypes but it makes one story become the only story. If one area or one person has terrible stories, they have other stories that are not about catastrophe. The single story robs the dignity of people and the recognition of human equality. It emphasizes how people are different rather than how people are similar.
Stories have great influences. Many stories matter. Stories can be used to empower and to humanize more. It can repair something like broken dignity.
In Africa, there are stories that people have a very happy childhood, full of laughter and love. There is never a single story in the world.

Haley Van Dyck: How a start-up in the White House is changing business as usual (script)
Summary
Probably, in your country, government services don't work well. If you have to complete something that is like an application, it'll be arduous and complicated. It's because you have to look for some different websites and telephone numbers. It'll be impacting a lot of people. Especially, the students trying to go to college, the single mothers trying to get health care, the veterans, immigrants, the disabled, are always waiting to process their applications. They might not be able to do online, because the government does its work based on paper.
It'll mean that we the taxpayers are not getting what we pay for.  Moreover, the government sometimes scrap or abandon IT projects but there are programs that a large amount of money keeps being poured.
However, the speaker crate the team to transform the way American delivers critical services for everyday people and to provide a better service while saving taxpayer dollars. It started to improve.
It's important not to think that things won't change. Don't rely on others. You need that you want to care about making government work better not to care about politics and you have to do. It's your government in your country.

Summary
You should not judge people by appearances and you don't be deluded by the media. You should not point your anger at someone. According to several studies, when people are afraid, at least, three things happen. They become more accepting of authoritarianism, conformity and prejudice. It means that when you'er exposed to negativity or fear by even the media, your anger or fear point mistake direction easily. This is your thought that you point your anger at Muslims after 9/11.
You are just brainwashed by terrorists who want you to believe that all Muslims  are terrorists. Especially, people in the mosques, all of them are not Muslims, they come not to attack Muslims, but to stand in solidarity with Muslims. Closing down mosques is not a solution. Those people are there because they chose courage and compassion over panic and prejudice. Could you choose empathy when you look at them?

John Hunter: Teaching with the World Peace Game (script)
Summary
We adults should listen to the message of the speaker and deeply take it. The message is that we have left this world to our children in such a sad and terrible shape. We have to apologize and stop the situation. Anyone would think how arrogant adults are. It's because they additionally hope that children can fix it.
However, children started seeking the answer head and solving world problems when they knew that the teacher couldn't teach them because the teacher didn't know the answer. Even it's a game, but their spontaneous compassion is created from unexpected places and unpredictable things.
He thought that still our modern world, it's not necessary for students just to teach and lecture. They have to be able to feel learning through their own bodies. It doesn't need to control also. There's a trust, understanding and a dedication to an ideal.
Those lead for children to picking up a critical thinking tool or creative thinking tool and leverage something good for the world. This is the poewer to change the world.

Chris Anderson 3, TED's secret to great public speaking (script)
Summary
In TED Talks, there are various ideas, because TED Talks are where the TED speakers transfer into their listeners' mind an extraordinary gift which is a strange and beautiful object called an idea.
You can think that ideas are patterns of information that help you understand and navigate the world. Your personal worldview is built up out of millions of individual ideas. Ideas are the most powerful forces shaping human culture.
The secret keys that the speakers can give their great idea to listeners are 1) to choose and talk about just one major idea. Your all stories and examples in this stage have to link your one idea. 2) For your audience can receive your idea easily, stir them up curiosity. 3) While checking that your audience understand, you have to build your idea. 4) Is your idea worth spreading for someone? It's not only you. Can your idea make someone happy?

Summary
In the past, our communication was only to face to face communication. If someone speaks, people in there were affected by it. They can gather and act together. It's repeated and it connected people and people. And then, by printing, people knew that their ideas could be spread. Now, the innovation that online video can do for face to face communication is happening. It can immediately spread in the world. You can learn from a lot of people and you also teach a lot of people in the world anytime, anywhere. It now accelerates. It is because people who watched the video started to drive cycles. It means a crowd that people who have the same interest gather is bigger. There are lights that is opened the best art they have. They have desires. These powers make the innovtion. In TED stage, it also works.

Hans and Ola Rosling 10, How not to be ignorant about the world

TEDSalon Berlin 2014 Jun
Hans and Ola Rosling 10, How not to be ignorant about the world (script)
Summary
In fact, we don't know what happen well in our world . We also don't know what we don't know. The reason why we are so ignorant is that we firstly think of something based on our neighborhood. It gives us a very biased view of how life is on this planet. Scoundly we'd be taught outdated worldviews when we were students at the school. It's because teachers learned something when they went to school and they describe the world to the student though it's without any bad intentions. Third is news. The news always informs interesting and unusual events with exaggeration, because people want to read it.
And then, we have illusions of confidence. So our intuition doesn't work and we can't think correctly.
The solution is that we need  to measure  problems and cure it. By measuring it, we can understand what is the pattern of ignorance. 1) When we face the world problems, we need to know and think that now most things improve, although we'll think that everything is getting worse. 2,3 ) If we are unsure, we can think that the most people are in the middle and the majority already have this. 4) We need to think that the problems are going to be exaggerated.
Let's think about the problems of our world.
How did the number of deaths per year from natural disaster change during the last century?
A.more than double. B.Remained about the same. C.decrease to less than half.
How long did women 30 years old in the world go to school?
A.7 years.  B.5 years.  C.3 years.
In the last 20 years, how did the percentage of people in the world who live in extreme poverty change?
A. more than double.  B.Remained about the same. C.decrease to less than half.
We are not deceived by our preconception. We have to know what has happened now in the world to think about the future. We need to turn out intuition into strength again getting out through the ignorant.

Hans Rosling 9, Religions and babies

TEDxSummit 2012  Apr
Hans Rosling 9, Religions and babies (script)
Summary
This is a strange title. How will religions and babies be related? The population is now continuing to grow in the world. It is seven billion. In 1960, it was three billion. Are there religions that stop women from having babies?  However, the answer was no. Religions has very little to do with the number of babies per woman. All the religions in the world are fully capable to maintain their values and adapt to this new world.
According to the data of the speaker proud of, there is a tremendous improvement that the number of children per woman is decreasing in the world, now. Even if the countries that its number was higher in the past decrease the rate without income level and religions.
The reasons why a big improvement happened. 1) It relates to children survive. 2) Many families got out of severe poverty so children are not of importance for work in the family. 3) People started a family planning. 4) The most important is that many women including children started to receive a good education.
In the world, the number of babies per woman is now decreasing though why the world's population faces  10 billion. The reason is that people who are over 30 years old are  currently missing. The population goes to two billion children, two billion young people, two billion adults, two billion old. tow billion more old.  More old will die. Two billion children will be born. This is repeated. It doesn't relate to life getting longer and adding children.
To summarize, religions and babies are not related. The number of children per woman is decreasing in the world though population will grow 10 billion. We have to think of energy urgently.

Hans Rosling 8, The magic washing machine

TEDWomen 2010 Dec
Hans Rosling 8, The magic washing machine (script)
Summary
You can know your world from the washing machine you probably use every day. Now, the world population is seven billion. Among this, two billion people live in poverty. Of course, they don't have it. They still bring water and heat it on fire to cook and wash. Ten billion people are the richest people. They use it. Four billion people in the middle seem to have electricity though people who use washing machine is one billion.
I was very surprised that only two billion have it but only they use over half of the energy in the world.
The washing machine makes us happy to have time to free head work. Economic growth is very important to make people happy.
Those two billion people must change behavior to use energy and use green energy. We prevent climate change and increasing population too much. And then, all people can have time to receive good education. The washing machine should be such magic machine.

Hans Rosling 7, The good news of the decade? We're winning the war against child mortality

TEDxChange 2010 Sep
Hans Rosling 7, The good news of the decade? We're winning the war against child mortality (script)
Summary
Measuring accurate number leads to knowing and solving problems. The speaker and the United Nations have cooperated for ten years to create a true data about child mortality. It made a wonderful bubbles' graphs including African data which has never ever seen.  Before 1977, in Africa, even in Kenya didn't have a system to write the death certificate at the death of the child. Thus, the interviews were done to survey. The highly professional female interviewers who sit down for one hour with  each African woman  and ask her about her birth history. How many children did you have? Are they alive? If they died, at what age and what year? This survey is costly, but it has good quality.
Accurate data would help to decrease child mortality. Vaccination and some investments also helped it and the wonderful effect was to  improve  female literacy. Each country has a different policy but the speed that some African countries can decrease child mortality will be slow though it's fully possible for all of these countries to get child mortality down.
Our next goal is to stabilize the world population. Increase population too much leads to likely terrible climate crisis. While getting child mortality down and improving female education, the world should tackle our next goals to get the good life for people in the world.

Hans Rosling 6, Global population growth, box by box

TED@Cannes 2010 Jun
Hans Rosling 6, Global population growth, box by box (script)
Summary
In 1960, the world population was three billion. Now in 2016  it grew up to seven billion. It's because the developing countries are given water, vaccination, education and some investments. They would use the aid well. Child mortality was really down. We think it's speed is too fast. Population growth will lead to other problems that are lacking food, energy  and using energy too much will lead to climate change.
Decreasing child mortality is a good thing. Precious lives are saved. We have to raise their skill up the places where the population isn't increasing  during those problems will be being solved. The developed countries should be good models  and help them before the world population is nine billion.  It's a very important role for people in the blue box.
