Sonaar Luthra : We need to track the world's water like we track the weather

Sonaar Luthra·TEDSummit 2019
We need to track the world’s water like we track the weather
Summary
First, l thought that the title was not clear.
The speaker seemed to want to explain that the weather has much data to stop growing worse because climate change is really dangerous and many people know about it, though, water doesn’t have any data but it’s important and it’s possible to be polluted.
Even we have a lot of data to do something for climate change, we don’t do anything now. Thus what do we do to water? The contaminated water affects not only our food but animals, fish, and all plants. It might be polluted already thus governments might track the water and it needs much money. Reality doesn’t exist until it’s measured. Tracking is necessary for our water. We buy drinking water anytime and anywhere thus we must forget that water is important.

Luisa Neubauer : Why you should be a climate activist

The news that a young climate activist Greta Thunberg gave a speech in New York was formally announced in Japan for the first time, this week. The response of the Japanese people made me very sad. It was not to decrease CO2 and not to eat less meat but to stop making a speech because she is not an adult.  What?? I know that our economy is important and the shop that serves meat will go out of business if all people don't eat meat, though, I don't think that their answer is right and I won't have friends to talk like the story.

Why you should be a climate activist
Summary
Why the speaker became a climate activist is being with Greta Thunberg who is now really a famous climate activist and is a student who has started Friday striking for organizing climate action.
And then the speaker tells us to do the same thing. She said why you should too is that she could do and we don't have time to wait for anything.
What you should do is to understand climate activists. 1) you have to think about your job and companies around you. We must get out of a zone of convenience. It must show that energy is used too much. 2) You do it with friends because getting out something alone is difficult and scary. 3) Let’s get out of the zones of convenience and join forces and start taking ourselves more seriously. 4)

Young-ha Kim : Be an artist, right now!

Young-ha Kim·TEDxSeoul
Be an artist, right now!
My comment
I heard similar stories a lot!! I want to think that this is not the original talk of the speaker. The reason is not that he is Korean but I've read about 800 TED talks. And then he didn't use English unfortunately.  I recommend the following story.

Sandeep Jauhar : How your emotions change the shape of your heart

Sandeep Jauhar·TEDSummit 2019
How your emotions change the shape of your heart
Summary
We must hope that our heart is healthy and our heart wants to have and feel love. On Twitter, you must have seen a picture that a bride hears a man's beating of the heart. The man has the transported heart from the bride’s father who was declared brain dead. The appearance is a stranger, though, people want to think that the heart is her father.
Then, if you have a permanent artificial heart, you are you, aren't you?

The speaker explains the problem by using Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a temporary heart condition that develops in response to an intense emotional or physical experience. It seems to be known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome also. In this condition, the heart's main pumping chamber changes shape by affecting the heart's ability to pump blood effectively and its chamber is similar to Takotubo. Toko means octopus, Tubo means a pot, and Takotubo means a vase to capture octopus in Japanese. The name surprises us.

Affecting means that we want to think that the heart is not a machine. How do you think about the benefit of science: pacemakers, defibrillators, coronary bypass surgery, and heart transplants? And then, people will die by emotional stress, though, it can’t be treated by changing your heart.

Michael Tilson Thomas : Music and emotion through time

Michael Tilson Thomas·TED2012
Music and emotion through time
Summary
I don’t have good memories about music because l can’t play instruments, sing songs well and dance also well. Furthermore, my mother said to me that listening and dancing Michael Jackson made me bad always to stop doing that. I wanted to dance to “Thriller” with my friends.
The speaker’s father said, “There are only two things that matter in music: what and how ”. My mother seemed that she didn’t want me to know them. However, l could be curious about other them.

And then, why people love music is that they have something that they want to tell you. It’s a person-to-person thing. I seemed to learn it from other things.

A person who is curious about music passes other people. It leads someone to being alive, amusing and giving inspiration. Passing something through time is a great thing.

Jessica Shortall : The US needs paid family leave — for the sake of its future

Jessica Shortall·TEDxSMU
The US needs paid family leave- for the sake of its future
Summary
Family leave means a period of time allowed away from work in order to deal with a family situation such as taking care of a baby or an ill family member.
This was really a shocking story because I knew that many people have thought that it has framed the problem as only a mother’s issue. It means that people who are men, who have had babies already, who haven’t have babies yet, and who have decided not to have babies think that the problem is not for theirs.
It’s because we live in a competitive society.
What you can’t go to an office and can’t work are losing and not getting benefits. If a rival business man can’t come to a competition, you might get more orders. Men must think that on the markets thus women can’t work well. It must occur unconsciously. That’s why the problem is really difficult.

Carl June : A "living drug" that could change the way we treat cancer

Carl June·TEDMED 2018
A “living drug” that could change the way we treat cancer
Summary
The story tells us a completely new way the world treats cancer.
It’s because, we know, our immune system doesn’t work in the cancer situation, though, the new way put receptors and CAR T cells into a body that has cancer and it seems to become able to fight against cancer with our natural immune system. There are many types of cancer but it can’t be cured in the past, though, little by little, the ways are researched.
The study took thirty years. It’s great and the speaker says that it’s sheer coincidence. I think that for that, the taught study have to be continued.
In Japan, the way has been just accepted this year in February. Especially, for blood cancer of young people, it’s going to be used first and insurance coverage will be thought.

At last, the thing that is given up, our immune system can’t cure, is changing. That’s why it's said to be a living drug.

Nick Hanauer : The dirty secret of capitalism — and a new way forward

Nick Hanauer·TEDSummit 2019
The dirty secret capitalism-and new way forward
Summary
The speaker tells us that the reason for rising inequality and growing political instability is that our world now has a bad economic theory. It’s that companies only think about their capitalists like the speaker who is really rich and then only they become rich forever. It doesn’t bring equality and cooperation. Thus the speaker tells us it should change and new economic rules are necessary.

First, our world is too complicated to service something simply. 1)
The economy is people and it’s necessary to include more people in more ways. 2)
The purpose of the corporation is not to enrich shareholders but to serve customers, to do with workers for communities. 3)
Having greed too much 4)and depending large scale too much 5) are not good.

We must have a new economic thought and have to be able to work equally and cooperatively and enjoyably.

However, if the world changes like that, inequality will come from somewhere and the speaker must be rich forever. The title calls him the dirty secret capitalist, doesn't it?

Sarah Jones : One woman, five characters, and a sex lesson from the future

Sarah Jones·TED2015
One woman, five characters, and a sex lesson from the future
Summary
The speaker’s talk has a solo show and l was really surprised when l watched her another TED talk for the first time that was more difficult than this. I haven’t known about a solo show, American news, American famous characters and English.
I wonder when I understand her English, and that the future in the title shows what years later. This time she played 5 characters, though, she played 11 characters before. Wow! My eyes had turned into dots.👀

This is a play called "Sell/Buy/Date." “Sell” means, you know, that woman and girls sell themselves, “buy” means that guys buy women or girls, and “date” will show dates with money. Those mustn’t be right, though, some people say that there’s no choice and they have justice because there is yes or money. What a bad excuse it is!

Five characters are an elderly homemaker, a “sex work studies” major, an escort, a nun-turned-prostitute and a guy at a strip club for his bachelor party.

They show really different perspectives on sex work. One woman saying sex itself is natural but the sex industry seems to mechanize or industrialize it and the second woman considered sex work to be empowering, liberating, and feminist, though she, herself, notably, did not seem keen to do it. The third woman, who actually was a so-called sex worker did not agree that it was liberating but she wanted the right to the economic empowerment. The fourth woman saying not only prostitution itself but proscribed roles for women in general prevented her from ever finding who she was.

Does legalizing lead to solving all and does reforming occur reality?
And then most people did not know was the average age of an at-risk girl being introduced to the sex industry was 12 or 13.
This is a future lesson, though, someday, can the situations change?

Words in this story
bachelor /noun/ˈbaCH(ə)lər/  a man who is not and has never been married.
notably /adverb/ ˈnōtəblē/ especially; in particular.

Anna Deavere Smith : Four American characters

Anna Deavere Smith·TED2005
Four American characters
Summary
A book, the title is On the Road, seems to be famous and it seems to have a film version. The talk is that the book seemed to be played by the only speaker. It’s said to be a solo show, thus by just reading, l couldn’t understand completely.

Four American characters are Studs Terkel, Paulette Jenkins, a Korean shopkeeper and a bull rider, Rodeo.
And then those people are not successful. There is a person who lies, another person who kills a child, and one other person is put in the riot.

I don’t know why the story became famous in the United States where the country must love to have dreams, rights, and freedom, though, it doesn’t have all.

Does it want to say that the reverse is also true?
If you say a word often enough, it becomes you.
If you continue to think that you don’t want to be, it doesn’t become you.
I think it’s not true.

Words in this story
riot /noun/verb/rīət/ take part in a violent public disturbance.
reverse /noun/ a complete change of direction or action.

Jon Lowenstein : Family, hope and resilience on the migrant trail

Jon Lowenstein·TEDSummit 2019

Family, hope and resilience on the migrant trail
Summary 
I’m sorry that l don’t like such kinds of stories. It’s important to know what happened on the US-Mexico border, to migrate in search of a better life, and pictures make us sad, though, humans must create their better countries their own hands first. 

Whether a country is safe or not and whether there are gangs and terror happen or not, each country has responsibilities to protect their citizens and citizens have to cooperate with their countries. Almost all countries are independent countries. Not leaving but creating your own country by your hands.

Bina Venkataraman·:The power to think ahead in a reckless age

Bina Venkataraman·TED2019
The power to think ahead in a reckless age
Summary
In the title, a reckless age that the speaker says means at the present time. The technology is growing, and we believe strongly that we have lots of resources and good forecasts. Thus we have mistakes.

In the first place, we have the power that our good ancestors gave to think ahead in such an era. We impair and forget it now. It’s designed unconsciously because people seek benefits only in the short term, education tends to just memorize not to think well, investment is mistaken in the first place, and we really believe that our date can predict in the future exactly.
However, those seem to be wrong. We have another tool for foresight and it must help us imagine the future by using the memory of the past, so hearing a voice from the past. It has a bigger worth than the data on the computer. It’s our own inspiration as humans. Due to the reckless age, hearing a voice from the past.

Peggy Orenstein : What young women believe about their own sexual pleasure

Peggy Orenstein·TEDWomen 2016
What young women believe about their own sexual pleasure
Summary
I’m really glad to continue to study English because the story wouldn’t be talked about in Japanese.
I will summarize the great parts of the article. It must encourage me whatever l do.

The speaker tells us the meaning of the title first. It’s time 1) to have open honest discussion 2) about what happens after “yes” 3) if we truly want young people to engage safely, ethically, and yes, enjoyably. 4) It includes breaking the biggest taboo of all  5) and talking to young people about women’s capacity for entitlements to sexual pleasure. 6)

In Japan, it must be said like this.
Still, it’s too early or it’s not necessary 1) to have the discussion.  2) Thus there is no “yes”. It means that women should be engaged patiently. 3) Even women won’t want young people to change because for a long time, women have endured 4) and no one sees about taboo completely. 5) In the first place. there seems to be no pleasure in the family, study, school and works in Japan. 6)

The story has a great conclusion that girls can have a voice to expect egalitarian treatment in the home, in the classroom, in the workplace. It should be allowed about intimate justice in personal life. Talking to doctors, teachers, and parents candidly from an early age, about sex, pleasure, and importance of mutual trust creates balances between responsibility and joy, so girls can know not only about risks and danger but also commutations and enjoying in their all lives.
