Elizabeth Howell : How we can improve maternal healthcare — before, during and after pregnancy


Elizabeth Howell·TEDMED 2018
How we can improve maternal healthcare — before, during and after pregnancy
Summary
I’ve read a book that said that pregnancy is not sick. However, many people don’t seem to understand its meaning. They think pregnancy is not sick thus pregnant mothers can be as usual. In fact, it’s not a big mistake. It means that pregnancy is not sick because for babies, to protect babies, there is no medicine and mothers can’t take it when mothers feel sick. Mothers have to receive high-quality care during pregnancy and after delivering, even after delivering healthy babies.

The story tells us the same things.
People have to know that still maternal death rate is high and it’s preventable. 1)
All Mothers have to receive high-quality care during pregnancy, after delivering, and of course before pregnancy also. Even after delivering healthy babies, mothers tend to face dangerous situations always. 2)
Doctors, nurses, and communities have to make sure that there is no discrimination for health care. 3)
Society and hospitals have to be able to serve high-quality health care for all mothers. This is not a problem of technology and tools. 4)

Anthony McCarten·TEDxMünchen
A (not so) scientific experiment on laughter
Summary
The speaker holds a scientific experiment on laughter by using jokes in the talk and it shows that humor obliges people to have an open mind. It’s empathy, forgiveness, and relationships and it’s taken part in societies means you live healthily as humans, so lose the power of laugh is lose the power of think.

And then laughter is, in fact, our ancient response to pass of animal danger.

People can avoid dangerous with laughter and take part in communities with laughter.

P.S
The story solved my question! I wanted to tell my teacher for a long time. She often says angrily to me not to laugh, though, my laughter must be a way to protect myself!!!! from her anger. Hahaha

Daniel Susskind : 3 myths about the future of work (and why they're not true)


Daniel Susskind·TED@Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany
3 myths about the future of work (and why they're not true)
Summary
In the article, 3 myths that the speaker tells us are that we strongly believe that economic pie is continuing being bigger, 1) our intelligence is better than machines, 2), and superiority always wins. 3)
Even robots come there, there is another job, though, it’s not true.
It’s because economic pie won’t continue being bigger, 1) machine can learn and its intelligence is better than humans, 2) and a lot of new ideas are created or have to be created. Even a start was first, victory is not promised. 3)

The work that people do now perhaps disappears. The speaker is an economist, thus he has to say about how economic is growing how material prosperity brings us happy.

We have to have very different thoughts about our job. It means that l think that having jobs, getting money, material prosperity, and our happiness are separately thought. It will come soon.

Hajer Sharief : How to use family dinner to teach politics


Hajer Sharief·TEDSummit 2019
How to use family dinner to teach politics
Summary
I really agreed to the speaker’s suggestion because in Japan, the election rate is always low. People seem to have opinions against current politics, though, they don’t go to elections. In Japan, people are in fact banned from talking about politics in the business scene. In school, students don’t discuss it and, of course, with family, there are no political stories. Now, with TV and smartphones, people have meals. There, there are no conversations. Awful!

The speaker tells us that in family dinner, discussion with kids is very important. Her example was really wonderful. It could change a family washing system that is not only girl doing but also men have to do. Family small discussion leads to decisions making and having political conversations.

Kids need to participate, sometimes mightn’t want to do. However, kids can learn, grow, and know about how to participate in political conversations. Kids can have skills that they can care about politics and how to participate in it. All people should engage in politics. It’s equal opportunities.

Albert-László Barabási : The real relationship between your age and your chance of success


Albert-László Barabási·TEDxMidAtlantic
The real relationship between your age and your chance of success
Summary
One of my friends said the same story with the article that in the past, he wanted to do a big thing and he wanted to be just big. He thought that that’s his success, though, when he realized that he had many things to have to do for others, societies and the world. The performance he does isn’t successful. Success is about what the community notices from what he did. For that, he is now running, communities agree that he is a successful person, however, he is still running. Success doesn’t have limitation and can come to you many times. People think that youthfulness and big performances are successful, though, it’s wrong. You can reach your success anytime and you continue doing.

Suleika Jaouad : What almost dying taught me about living


Suleika Jaouad TED2019  (transcript)
What almost dying taught me about living
Summary
Even in a bad situation, if we change our thoughts, we must live strongly. I really love the speaker's words.

The speaker was told that she had cancer and received severe treatment. She thought many times that if it didn’t happen to her, she would be happy. However, she realized that during treatment, she lives hard and she has been her. She embraced her situation and she thought that life had interpretations to think many things.

Humans hope that there's some beautiful and perfect state of wellness and someday it comes to me, though, stop thinking about it and quit living in it and a state of constant dissatisfaction.

The speaker’s last words must be needed by all people who always hope what they don’t have but compare with what others have. It doesn’t make them happy forever.

Ocean Ramsey : Why the world needs sharks


Ocean Ramsey·TEDxKlagenfurt
Why the world needs sharks
Summary
Although the speaker focuses on sharks, the story tells us that all animals are important because animals interact with not only other animals but also their surrounding sea, mountains, air environment, water that we drink and it means to act on humans and to affect humans’ health. However, especially sharks are not thought that it’s important because of a movie that has told sharks are very scary and people who want to eat shark fin.
The information lets people think that sharks are not necessary, though, it’s wrong.

By returning only a few numbers of sharks lead to thriving clean oceans, reef, and fish. The speaker creates web platforms also for all people to be able to take part in this activity. For protecting sharks and oceans, we can use SNS. When we can’t see oceans and sharks, It notifies us. We have to save sharks for we live.

Julie Lythcott-Haims : How to raise successful kids — without over-parenting


Julie Lythcott-Haims TED Talks Live 
How to raise successful kids-without over-parenting
Summary
The story was really interesting and funny. It's truly because audiences laughed many times in the talk. Everyone would agree on two important things that the speaker tells us when parents raise successful kids. In fact, the two things are love and chores surprisingly.

The speaker says that happiness in life comes from love thus love is very important. It’s found by Harvard Study and it’s not love of work but love of humans. Loving spouse, partner, friends, and family are important and people have to learn how to love for those when they are kids. It comes from unconditional love of parents and kids can learn to love themselves and others.

And then chores are unpleasant works, but by do chores together, it creates ways of thought on how your children can be useful to others. It’s the impulse and instinct to pitch in and to do something without checklists. However, parents absolve children of helping out around housework and make them only study.

The speaker’s conclusion is that the parents’ role is to support children in becoming their glorious selves. Parents mustn’t think that children become what parents want children to be.

In the article, bonsai trees that audiences laughed mean Japanese small trees by using special techniques and it’s unique like art but it ‘s really difficult to raise!
Over-parenting seems to be overprotective that is like making children do only parents’ checklists.
Lastly, don’t say that l feel the story funny because I don’t have children, please.

Nanfu Wang : What it was like to grow up under China's one-child policy


Nanfu Wang·TED2019
What it was like to grow up under China’s one-child policy
Summary
The story told me the true meaning of propaganda for the first time.
The word of propaganda means information that spreads in order to promote a particular goal. And then even its goal is really important, many people might struggle but it might make sacrifices.

In China, in the past, China wanted many soldiers for winning wars and families had to have five or six children, however, the government realized that severe food shortages would happen. Thus one-child policy was announced. The population explosion would be avoided. However, many families wanted to have more children, especially they wanted to have a boy because they wanted a boy to carry on the family name. It made sacrifices that are abortions, sterilizations, and feeling guilty. The speaker had a brother because her family asked and paid, though, she felt ashamed and guilty.

The goal might be necessary for the country’s survival.

And then we have to understand that not only China’s one-child policy but also the word of propaganda.
The speaker tells us at last. There is no country on earth where propaganda isn’t present. In societies that are supposed to be more open and free than China, l think that it’s Japan, it can be even harder to recognize what propaganda looks like. It’s true. It’s because it’s hidden and it stops us to think, and it makes us believe that it’s true. Every society is vulnerable. We have to really think what propaganda wants to tell us and what we should do ourselves.

Words in this story
propaganda /noun/ information spread in order to promote a particular goal
brainwash /verb/ remove a person's ideas and replace them with other ideas

Keren Elazari : Hackers: the Internet's immune system


Keren Elazari·TED2014
Hackers: the Internet’s immune system
Summary
The speaker is a beautiful woman who is a cybersecurity expert and a hacker. She tells us that she is working to fight government corruption and advocate for their rights, by exposing it, a better world must be created, and it’s an only way to stop overreaching government.

In the first place, hackers were bad guys, though, some of them are heroes. We can’t know whether the media and government tell us the truth or not. The internet that we see always is not a whole but only a small part. If we think that we know about it, we need hackers.

Misha Glenny : Hire the hackers!


Misha Glenny·TEDGlobal 2011
Hire the hackers
Summary
Indeed, the idea: hire the hackers is interesting because I don't have it.

Hackers love computers, knows a lot about computers, and they illegally break into computer systems. However, their skills are great. The speaker suggests that their skills should be used for legitimate industries, hackers just never know about a chance to work in the legitimate industries and we who are a side of employers have to understand that hackers are axiomatic and might preserve that little teensy wormhole.

Hope that all jobs can bring happiness in the world.

Mikko Hypponen : Fighting viruses, defending the net


Mikko Hypponen·TEDGlobal 2011
Fighting viruses, defending the net
Summary
Relatively, the reason that we use internet safety because many people work to fight viruses to protect the internet.

We never forget that a lot of viruses are written every day, so today, criminal gangs are writing viruses because they can earn money from it. Computers are used worldwide. It means that from the world, they can get money. Each country creates anti-viruses to protect countries, though, the speaker suggests that it needs more global, international laws and enforcement work to find online criminal gangs, its boss, and people who now think that they want to get much money by writing viruses. Their skills should be used for good.

Todd Humphreys·TEDxAustin How to fool a GPS


Todd Humphreys·TEDxAustin
How to fool a GPS
Summary
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a navigation system that works by a worldwide network of satellites and you can use as a car navigation system or by using your smartphone. It’s very useful because it can show where you are precisely and where you want to go. Recently, it’s trending toward miniaturization and better sensitivity thus buses and even taxi drivers use it, l think that they are professionals, though. Is it necessary?
In Japan, it should be used for kids, elders and finding your stuff also. I think that it must be too useful to think that it’s dangerous and especially in Japan, people think that it’s very useful to use more than tracking them. It means that they don’t think that they are tracked always.

And then the speaker explains there were a Wave Bubble and a GPS spoofer against GPS, though, in fact, GPS has to work for our world more than operating those. By using a Wave Bubble and GPS spoofer to fool a GPS leads ships, airplanes and so on to misguiding. We have to be blindly reliant on a GPS now.

Indeed, we will never lose track of our things again. It means that we can track anything, though, we are tracked anytime and anywhere.
