Summary of TED Talks

Convey one big idea
Don’t fall into the trap of trying to cover everything in a single talk. Instead, convey one big
idea that leverages your personal experience.
A big idea can take an audience on a journey that alters the way they view the world. You
should be able to define your idea as a through line that is 15 words or fewer. Essentially,
what is the core point of your talk?
Think about the audience, their context, and why your problem matters to them. As a tip,
choose one person that you like and assume you are presenting the talk to them.

Open and close strong

Script the opening minute and the closing lines. These are the most important parts of the
talk. Use good images and stories to ignite curiosity and reflection. How people remember
something is largely influenced by how it ends.

Bad talk types

Avoid sales pitches or talks that focus on what your organization does.

Visuals
No slides = better than bad slides. For each slide, convey just one idea and remember that less
is more. For photos, have them take up the entire slide. Use only one typeface and 3 fonts
throughout the presentation. Avoid bullets, italics, and underlines.

Rehearsals
Rehearsals help shape the talk. Ask for advice on clarity, tone, variety, and examples.

Talk structure
One potential structure for your talk: introduction, context, main concepts, practical
applications, conclusion.
Build trust and connection
When you build trust and connection with your audience, your idea will resonate. To do so,
consider the following tactics:
 Make eye contact as you walk confidently onto the stage
 Show vulnerability
 Drop the ego – consider being self-deprecating

Tell stories
Our minds co-evolved with storytelling, a by-product of fire; elders were often the best
storytellers that helped us imagine, dream, and understand the minds of others. Stories are
easy to follow, and they give us the ability to understand complex ideas and understand
imagined realities. Adding stories to your public speaking toolkit will enhance your

effectiveness.

Explanation
With whatever you set out to explain, you need to incite curiosity. Make the audience care.
You also should be incremental with new concepts. Don’t confuse everyone with too many
concepts. Use metaphors to help people understand. Finally, show people drafts of your talk
to avoid the curse of knowledge – assuming that other people have the same context as you.

Persuasion
Enhance your persuasion by offering a counterintuitive idea that convinces the audience that
their world view isn’t exactly right. If you can effectively prime people, add humour, and
leverage anecdotes, you will increase your chances of success.

Do things differently
While there are many time-tested principles of public speaking, don’t be afraid to do things
differently. Show your unique style and character. Challenge the norms. At the very least, be

interesting.
Script or no script?
A difficult question. You have three options: write out a full script, write out a structure, or
go unscripted.
With a script, it’s sometimes difficult to translate written words into a talk. You also don’t
want to sound too rehearsed, so if you go with a script, you need to fully mastery your
memory of the talk so that you can add your character back in.
Whereas scripts can make every word count, unscripted talks can be half-baked and rambling
if they don’t have sufficient preparation. With unscripted talks, it can be helpful to have
transition steps or a clear map of the journey that you can follow.
Whatever style you go with, you need to believe what you’re saying.

Mental preparation for the talk

Have a mantra to keep you focused on why your talk counts, “This idea matters.” Five
minutes before your talk, breathe, do push-ups, and drink water. Remember the power of
vulnerability. If you screw up, say, “Oops, sorry, a little nervous here.” Look at the audience
for sympathetic and encouraging faces. And finally, remember that it’s not about you, it’s
about your idea.

What to wear
Wear something that makes you feel good, and rehearse your talk in that clothing.

How to end your talk

Zoom out to the vision of your talk. Show the possibilities that your idea unlocks. Have a
clear call to action to help people engage with your idea or pay it forward. Paint a vision of
what the world looks like when the idea spreads.
 Dialogue Writing

Here's a dialogue between six people discussing racism

[Six friends, Gunjan, Brian, Charlotte, David, Emily, and Fatima, are sitting in a park,
discussing racism.]

Gunjan: "It's hard to believe that racism is still such a huge problem in our society."

Brian: "It's not just a problem, it's an epidemic. People of colour are facing discrimination
and inequality every day."

Charlotte: "And it's not just individual acts of racism. It's systemic issues, like the
disproportionate number of people of colour in the criminal justice system."

David: "That's true. The system is rigged against people of colour. They don't get the same
opportunities as white people do."

Emily: "And it's not just about overt racism. It's also about the micro aggressions that people
of colour face every day."

Fatima: "Like when people assume that you're not as intelligent or qualified as your white
counterparts, or when they make assumptions about your cultural background."

Gunjan: "So what can we do about it? How can we fight against racism?"

Brian: "I think it starts with education. We need to learn more about the history of racism and
how it's still affecting people today."

Charlotte: "And we need to have more conversations about race. We need to be willing to
listen and learn from each other's experiences."

David: "But we also need to take action. We can't just talk about it. We need to actively work
to dismantle the systems of oppression that uphold racism."

Emily: "And we need to call out racism when we see it. We can't just be bystanders."

Fatima: "Yeah, it's not enough to be 'not racist'. We need to actively be anti-racist."
Gunjan: "I think it's important for us to recognize our own biases and privilege, too. We all
have blind spots, and we need to be willing to confront them."

Brian: "And we need to be intentional about creating inclusive spaces. Whether it's in the
workplace or in our personal lives, we need to make sure everyone feels welcome and
valued."

Charlotte: "And we need to uplift voices of colour. We need to give them a platform to share
their experiences and perspectives."

David: "Ultimately, fighting racism is a long-term, ongoing process. It's not something that
will be solved overnight."

Emily: "But if we all do our part, we can make progress. We can create a more just and
equitable society."

Fatima: "And it's worth it. Because everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect,
regardless of their race."

Gunjan: "I think one of the most important things we can do is to listen to people of colour
when they tell us about their experiences."

Brian: "And not just listen, but believe them. It's so important to believe people when they
say they're experiencing racism."

Charlotte: "And we need to be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. We can't shy

away from the tough topics."

David: "That's true. We need to be willing to acknowledge our own privilege and the ways in
which we've benefitted from a racist system."

Emily: "And we need to be willing to educate ourselves. There are so many resources out
there to help us understand and fight against racism."

Fatima: "I think it's also important for us to speak out against racism even when it's
uncomfortable. We can't just stay silent."
Gunjan: "Yes, we need to use our privilege to uplift and amplify the voices of people of
colour."

Brian: "And we need to support and patronize businesses and organizations that are working
to fight against racism."

Charlotte: "And we need to hold

[As they finish their conversation, the six co-workers feel inspired to take action and make a
positive difference in the fight against racism.]

Renewable Energy: A Path to a Sustainable Future

Introduction:

Renewable energy has become an increasingly important topic in recent years, as concerns
about climate change and energy security have grown. Renewable energy sources, such as
solar, wind, and hydropower, offer a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels, which
are finite and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. This report will discuss the benefits
and challenges of renewable energy and examine the potential for renewable energy to be a
viable alternative to traditional energy sources.

Benefits of Renewable Energy:

Renewable energy offers numerous benefits over traditional energy sources. One of the
primary advantages is that renewable energy sources are sustainable, meaning they are
replenished naturally and do not deplete over time. Renewable energy also produces fewer
greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels, which contribute to climate change. Additionally,
renewable energy can help reduce dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security.

Challenges of Renewable Energy:

While renewable energy has many benefits, there are also challenges that must be addressed.
One of the primary challenges is the intermittency of renewable energy sources. For example,
solar and wind power are only generated when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing,
which can create challenges for maintaining a consistent energy supply. There are also
challenges associated with the development and deployment of renewable energy
technologies, including high upfront costs, limited storage capacity, and potential
environmental impacts.

There are several challenges associated with natural resources, including:

 Depletion: Natural resources are finite, and their overuse can lead to depletion. For
example, deforestation and overfishing can lead to the loss of natural habitats and the
extinction of species.
  Pollution: The extraction and use of natural resources can lead to pollution of air,
water, and soil. For example, burning of fossil fuels can release harmful gases into the
atmosphere, leading to air pollution.
 Climate Change: The use of natural resources such as fossil fuels contributes to
climate change. Climate change leads to adverse effects on natural resources such as
water scarcity, desertification, and soil degradation.
 Conflict: Natural resources can lead to conflicts between different groups. For
example, disputes over water resources can lead to conflicts between different regions
or countries.
 Unequal distribution: Natural resources are not distributed evenly around the world.
Some countries or regions may have an abundance of resources, while others may
have limited access. This can lead to unequal distribution of wealth and power.
 Unsustainable practices: Some practices used in the extraction and use of natural
resources are not sustainable. For example, the use of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides in agriculture can lead to soil degradation and water pollution.

Overall, the challenges associated with natural resources require careful management and
sustainable practices to ensure their preservation for future generations.

Current Status of Renewable Energy:

Despite the challenges, renewable energy has made significant progress in recent years. In
2020, renewable energy accounted for over 80% of new electricity generation capacity added
globally, with solar and wind energy leading the way. In the United States, renewable energy
accounted for 11% of total energy consumption in 2019, up from just 3% in 2000. The
growth of renewable energy has been driven by a combination of government policies,
technological advancements, and declining costs.

Future of Renewable Energy:

The future of renewable energy looks promising, as the technology continues to improve, and
costs continue to decline. There is also significant potential for renewable energy to expand
into new areas, such as transportation and industrial processes. However, realizing the full
potential of renewable energy will require continued investment in research and development,
as well as policies that support the deployment of renewable energy technologies.

Conclusion:

Renewable energy offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional

fossil fuels. While there are challenges associated with the development and deployment of
renewable energy technologies, the benefits are clear. The growth of renewable energy in
recent years is a positive sign for the future, but continued investment and policy support will
be necessary to realize the full potential of renewable energy.
 General Representation

Article 370 was a provision in the Indian Constitution that granted special status to the state
of Jammu and Kashmir. It gave the state a level of autonomy, allowing it to have its own
constitution, flag, and control over its internal affairs. However, on August 5, 2019, the
Indian government abolished Article 370, sparking controversy and unrest in the region.

The move to revoke Article 370 was one of the most significant changes to India's
constitutional framework. Supporters of the move argued that it was necessary to integrate
the state of Jammu and Kashmir into the rest of India and promote economic development in
the region. They also argued that Article 370 had hindered the growth of the region and
perpetuated separatism.

Critics, on the other hand, argued that the move was unconstitutional and violated the rights
of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. They argued that it would lead to the erosion of the
state's unique identity and autonomy, and that it was imposed without the consent of the
people.
The revocation of Article 370 led to a lockdown and communication blackout in the state,
with thousands of troops deployed to maintain law and order. The government argued that the
measures were necessary to prevent violence and maintain peace in the region.

The move also sparked international criticism, with several countries expressing concern over
the human rights situation in the state. The United Nations called for restraint and respect for
human rights in the region.

Since the revocation of Article 370, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has remained tense,
with reports of human rights violations and restrictions on freedom of expression and
movement. The government has defended its actions, stating that they were necessary to
maintain law and order in the region and prevent violence.

In conclusion, the revocation of Article 370 was a significant change to India's constitutional
framework, with supporters and critics arguing over its benefits and drawbacks. While the
move was aimed at integrating the state of Jammu and Kashmir into the rest of India, it has
also led to concerns over human rights violations and restrictions on freedom. It remains to be
seen how the situation will evolve in the coming years and whether the government's actions
will lead to lasting peace and prosperity in the region.
