Sydney Jensen : How can we support the emotional well-being of teachers?

Sydney Jensen·TED Masterclass
How can we support the emotional well-being of teachers?
Summary
People must be surprised at the title because it was talking about teachers but we think that teachers are very smart, strong and would have the power that makes the students understand not only studying but also all things. I think that this is the reason why teachers are struggling emotionally and everyone, especially not only parents but also students, must depend on teachers too much.

First, we have to understand again that schools are the places where students can study the most and the environment that students are really able to study have to be made by every baby who means not only schools and teachers but also parents, students themselves, people who live in the same place, communities and its country.

What do you think about this era and technology development that give students the best opportunities to study? Will it do students well? I think that more temptation will hit students than before. Thus students come to teachers with diverse and tough circumstances. More than before, they need to be able to communicate, collaborate and problem-solve.

When teachers emotionally support our kids, people and communities should support our teachers. Kids studying well means to become communities, cities, and counties better.

How do you manage your time?

This year, l haven’t been able to updated my summaries plenty. In this situation, l learned from my teacher how to control my time. I’ll share it.

Ways to manage time

1. Prioritize- I had to complete most of my daily tasks at work by the end of the day, so I had to prioritize by deciding what was very important

2. set a goal- In the coming year, I want to set a goal of how many lessons in English I would like to complete by mid year

3. plan ahead- As with setting my goals, I have to plan ahead of just how i should achieve that, also check of possible obstacles and how to tackle these

4. track your time- I intend to track my time going forward so I can account for my productivity

5. take time to yourself- After a hard days work, it is necessary for me to take time to myself and best way is to unwind by having a glass of wine

David Asch : Why it's so hard to make healthy decisions

David Asch·TEDMED 2018
Why it's so hard to make healthy decisions
Summary
Why is it so hard to make healthy decisions?
It’s because it’s strongly thought that humans must have the most rational move of all and they’re all constantly calculating the costs and benefits of every one of our actions to make the perfect right, however, it hasn’t been right.

Our actions are always irrational, even we know that it’s wrong. The fine doesn’t work well also. Car accidents are dangerous, though, people sometimes don’t use seatbelts. People want to be slim, though, they eat chocolate a lot. People know that spreading diseases have to be stopped, though, they don’t wash their hands sometimes. People believe that not buying lotteries makes them regret.

We fundamentally care what others think of us, though, we seem to be irrational.

Dan Ariely : How to change your behavior for the better

Dan Ariely·TED Salon: Brightline Initiative
How to change your behavior for the better
Summary
I love the speaker’s talks the best. It’s not too much to say that his talk changed my behavior thus l have been able to study English! so let’s find out.

Your mother must say and say many times that you shouldn’t do something or you should do that, though, you can’t change your behavior. In fact, giving information, even having advantage information or simply good information is not a good recipe to change behavior.

If we want to change behavior, we have to change the environment. The right way is not to change people. It’s to change the environment, we have to think of what frictions there are for changing the environment, and giving much fuel as possible that is the most amount of motivation and energy to do that is important. Furthermore, sometimes money doesn’t work as motivation and energy. It means that we don't always know what would work best. Assuming and our intuition sometimes misleads us.

I love thinking about such things. For example, if there is a problem in my office, everyone must give a lot of reasons that are bad and good information. However, l think what frictions there are. Is it time, places, tools, and sizes? When their environment will be changing, they won’t see their problems unconsciously. Only a lot of information can’t change anything, it's important for our environment to change your behavior for the better.

P.S.
I seemed to write about some important things that humans genetically have the no-action benefit and seem to like doing things that are illegal and immoral.

Jackson Katz : Women Violence against women — it's a men's issue

Jackson Katz·TEDxFiDiWomen
Violence against women-it’s men
Summary
This was an amazing title that made us really expected. We must have been thinking that violence against women is not women’s issues but it’s men for a long time. However, being understood seemed to be difficult because it’s TED women. We wanted men to listen to it, though, audiences were all women. My head was not clear.

The speaker explained that we have to train men to be a greater leader who understands this issue is men’s issue.
I agree that silence is complicity, though, women seemed to protect ourselves by ourselves.

Laura Rovner : What happens to people in solitary confinement

Laura Rovner·TEDxMileHigh
What happens to people in solitary confinement
Summary
I think that the story is not fair. It’s because without telling risks, the speaker explains about people in solitary confinement are dangerous as humans but Nelson Mandela also. ADX is the US federal government’s only supermax prison. A cell is the size of a small bathroom with no significant human contact for years or even decades. It deserves the dehumanizing effects of long term solitude on the mind, personality, and sense of self. Furthermore, she said that the prison system is the concern and responsibility of every citizen. The speaker’s last words were that the conditions in ADX implicate our tax dollars, public safety and, most of all our shared belief in the inherent dignity of every human being.

And then, we will imagine that prisoners have to be released. However, this is a suggestion of abolishing solitary confinement.
A new system like fixing their minds might be important, though, huge bad things might occur by them again. And again, I think that the speaker only wants to oppose Trump or...

Words in this story
solidarity /noun/ unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within a group.
solitary /adj/ done or existing alone.

James Logan : How we're using dogs to sniff out malaria

James Logan·TEDxLondon
How we're using dogs to sniff out malaria
Summary
This was a really funny story from one amazing idea that by training dogs, they must find people with malaria because they have an incredible sense of smell. The speaker’s performance in which a dog standing on stage and testing was great.

The research seems to has a probability of 81 percent. Furthermore, the speaker thinks that we can’t deploy dogs everywhere thus by using the data with technology, he hopes to develop wearable tech. It’s that, for example, the color of a patch that you wear on the skin changes when you’re infected with malaria by detecting in your sweat. Malaria is one of the causes that kill many people yet.

Kaitlyn Sadtler and Heather J. Faust : Why haven't we cured arthritis?

Kaitlyn Sadtler and Heather J. Faust·TED-Ed
Why haven't we cured arthritis?
Summary
Why haven’t we cured arthritis yet? Now, technology is growing, thus we think all things can be solved soon. According to the article, there are over 100 different arthritic conditions, it’s trickier to prevent than we think and l think that our immune system works hard to protect us.
Due to those, we seem to think that our arthritis is not cured when we feel pains.

I have been thinking for a long time that arthritis can simply be traced to an old sports injury. When it’s getting cold, it hunts. I try to wear something or use supporters.
The article tells us that our lifestyle choices are also important. Hahaha.

Inés Hercovich·TEDxRiodelaPlata Why women stay silent after sexual assault

Inés Hercovich·TEDxRiodelaPlata
Why women stay silent after sexual assault
Summary
Why will women stay silent after sexual assault?
It’s because a thing happens that is worse than the rape itself. It’s “BLAMING THE VICTIM”. The speaker explained it by using questions, though, l think that it makes the story difficult.

A young woman going to clubs, going to clubs with friends, and wearing miniskirts, those things don’t look her a victim. Even avoiding killing, she is not a victim. Unable to resist to survive turns that not to resist.
Furthermore, it’s thought that men are strong existingly, women can’t live if they can’t marry, and talking a lot is shameful in Japan. Not only women are unable to speak but also women who don’t speak is ordinary in Japan. Thus l don’t know what that responsibility in this story means.

The speaker’s last sentences are women will continue to be unable to speak and we will all continue to be responsible for that silence and their solitude.

Paul A. Kramer : Our immigration conversation is broken — here's how to have a better one

Paul A. Kramer·TED Salon: Border Stories
Our immigration conversation is broken — here's how to have a better one
Summary
First of all, my thoughts that TED speakers tell us great things seem to be wrong. The story is, this is often used in Japan also, not relating to immigrants.
For example, when newscasters announce a car accident, they have to emphasize one thing to collect attention. They say that “an immigrant did that!” If immigrants stop driving, there are many car accidents. We have to think about what should be changed. Maybe, it might be a brake pedal of car or the problem of streets or driving of humans.

Thus l think that only the speaker divides immigrants. It’s because he said that he doesn’t know whether immigrants can be useful tools, 1) whether immigrants can become more like us, 2) and whether immigrants are parasites in the story. 3)

Not only immigrants but all people have the right, responsibility, and equality as humans. It’s not as parasites but it’s not as immigrants. They are as humans to have the right.

It's said that by Trump's election, a huge divide occurred. It seems to be continuing. Removing this divide must be able to have a good conversation with all people.

Toby Kiers : Lessons from fungi on markets and economics

Toby Kiers·TED@BCG
Lessons from fungi on markets and economics
Summary
The story was really difficult because the speaker told us that she was going to talk about two topics that weren’t normally talked about together, and that’s market
economies and fungi. What?  Why do fungi relate to our economy markets? If we trade fungi, can we get benefits? When I saw the faces of audiences, their faces were very serious like not understanding.

Her explanations are that human economies are not persistent, 1) people beg, borrow, steal cheat, though. 2) Exchanging stocks and bonds are sometimes unsuccessful.
However, about fungi, it can be thought that there is a market economy of fungi that is continuing 400 million years old, and it connects millions of traders simultaneously, and it’s persistently survived mass extinctions. 1)  It doesn’t rely on cognition to decisions but it does absently, begging borrowing, stealing and cheating. 3) It’s exchanging essential resources. So far, it seems to be ideal.

However, there are aspects without photosynthesizing, stealing the carbon and giving nothing in return, and don’t have altruism. There are no trade favors, though, the fungus helping dying or struggling plants don’t occur unless it directly benefits the fungus itself.

The conclusion that the speaker wanted to tell us must be that we can learn many things from fungi on markets because it’s natural. Although you will think that it’s ruthless, you must rely on computer algorithms more. Computer algorithm and fungi, they both operate in similar. It’s uncognitive ways and the fungus just happens to be a living machine. What do you think?

I wrote this that looks better, though, l don’t understand yet.

P.S.
I want to tell you that fungus is that it’s a really simple and easy word called “KIN(菌)” in Japanese!! Why am I troubled by its pronunciation?
I've greatly suffered to pronounce fungus, fungi, and funguses. I want to shout in Japanese, “KIN, KIN, and KIN”. There is no singular and plural in Japanese. Furthermore, the meaning of pronunciation “FUN” of fungus, fungi, and funguses is feces in Japanese, it’s also used as Hmm that is not good, though. “FUN”

Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck : The price of a "clean" internet

Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck·TEDxCERN
The price of a "clean" internet
Summary
I’ve just thought that it’s impossible to clean and to be healthy on the internet. Just, we trust it too much because of being really useful.

Without buying books, you can know many things from the internet and without using pens and paper, you can tell many people your thoughts a lot and very soon. Additionally, we are taught that it’s great to show your opinions, to create something by yourself, and to know many things. You must be proud of being able to use the internet, And then, something that you don’t know or you couldn’t do makes you feeling shame.

Due to those, l think, shocking and disturbing content will be interestingly shared. Of course, money also helps them. People know that it’s evil, though, gathering adults seems to produce bad things sometimes.

Now, a little and light manner is bad influences, though, people don’t realize.

Not only the side of updating disturbing content but also people who share it unconsciously is criminal. It’s a very serious crime.

Facebook, Twitter, Google, and companies try to stop it. Why was a raping video shared 16,000 times before it was removed? Deleting, ignoring and your good manners will create a clean internet.

Tyler Cowen：Be suspicious of simple stories

Tyler Cowen·TEDxMidAtlantic
Be suspicious of simple stories
Summary
I am very sorry that the speaker stood on the TED stage only one time.
It's because I really love such stories that are written about human behavior and the behavioral economy sharply and funnily.

We are taught that we have to believe teachers, parents, great people, and stories that they say, though, the title says that be suspicious but it's especially simple stories that are, I think, understandable easily and after all, people can't remember difficult, complex, and messy stories or don't want to remember them.

However, simplicity means that the point of a narrative is stripped away and is written about good versus evil. 1)
We believe and depend too much on simple stories but it's very hard to get away with those. 2)
And then, with stories, outsiders manipulate us. 3)

The speaker's message is that we try to be suspicious of simple stories more because our lives are messier and it'll be okay to be more comfortable with messy, though, we must not be self-deceptive but we are not that we are fundamentally reasonable.

Lori Gottlieb : t Change your story, change your life

Lori Gottlieb·TED@DuPont
Change your story, change your life
Summary
In the story, the speaker’s jokes and examples were really funny and her English wasn’t difficult. I laughed sometimes when I read this.

In fact, what I was thinking while reading is that my English skills might be improving because it didn't have words that l didn’t know, in the story, The Problem of Living was too personal, you shouldn’t ask those of someone, even therapists, and you should solve it by yourself because l was taught of it by my mother. My mother always said to me, “No.”
“I wanted to have a private English lesson.” “No, it’s expensive.”
“I would work part-time jobs.”
“No, you will be badness.”
“I want to eat something.” ”No.”
“I want to...” ”No.”
And then, l decided to do all things by myself without asking.
Is it that l edit my story?
I do write my masterpiece.

P.S.
My mother always said no, though, she asked family members about LAUNDRY often.
“When does she do the laundry?”
“It’s too much today”
“It’s a rainy day thus it’s tough to do laundry.” etc and etc...
Laundry seemed to be the biggest problem for her.

Additionally, my teacher was really great. She taught me that there were a lot of perspectives. She tells me that I do my homework if l have time and even when l couldn’t do it, l can have lessons. I’m really happy every time.
