Benedetta Berti TED2018 (transcript)
Did the global response to 9/11 make us safer?
Summary
I thought that it'll be better for understanding the story to explain what our security is more.
9/11 accident gave us an unbelievable shock. People have still struggled and they think that they have to do something, though, they didn't know what to do.
However, people must start realizing that the best way to guarantee people’s security won't be by defeating their enemies. It means that building sustainable security is not winning on the battlefield or is not crushing enemies but it must be protecting victims and building stability.
The speaker’s answer to the title is no. Now, the world has to rethink security.
Directly, we know that defeating ISIS may be a security achievement but stopping it and shelving the never-ending War on Terror are fear, though, many people in the world are struggling. It won't make us safer in the long term and the generation is always changing.
I want to tell Japanese people the same thing that the generation is always changing. For Japanese people, we have to protect our country with our own hands from China. We must not do the same thing as ever.
I would like to pray for those who lost their lives in 9/11 and wars.
