Nisha Anand : The radical act of choosing common ground

Nisha Anand·TEDxBerkeley

The radical act of choosing common ground 

Summary 

The speaker tells us that anywhere, there’s a common ground for us. If we have different religions, political politics, or we have different colors, races, we can definitely find it. It’s hard, though, it’s not compromised, and it’s the type of common ground that can secure human freedom and save lives. 

The speaker has a different religion, she is Indian and is told that she is brown, thus she said that she was a bridge between something, for example, between the old country and the new. 

Especially, about an issue of climate, it seems divisive and like there’s no common ground to be there, but there is. We have to see a change on a national or global scale and think about big and on a large scale tolerantly and generously. We can choose a common ground.
