    The presenter is calm and simple. Also this presenter is a bit funny. This guy is influenced by his kids and see that he can change at least in a town, such as San Francisco. He created an app where you can locate where some person picks up liter and recycles it. This grew more and more and later on he was asked for help with showing how many cigarette bubs are located on street floors and even coffee cups. This really helps to have a minimized population of liter.

    This website talks about how " white people own time ". The presenter talks about how there's now justice or fairness for black people. It talks about how we all need to come together, so young black children can have a bright future. This video is very interesting because it tells people whats really going on in this country. I highly recommend because the presenter gives great fact and the way she presented was fabulous.

    1. I completely agree with Kristina's post. The video speaks volumes about how we need to speak up about the justice and utter fairness of African-Americans. This video gives you insight on the strong points of what takes place in the United States of America. Britney Cooper brings light upon colored people and what needs to be done and how it should be. I, also, highly recommend this video. It is a must-see!

    The presenter Camille A. Brown gives a under-6-minute, but very empowering visual video. She expresses the way of dance and how it can't be done like anything else as well as how you can make it your own. Brown talks about how communities can get together to revolutionize something so beautiful. It is a fun yet educational video and it makes you want to get up and dance. I recommend this video to my classmates because you can learn something and maybe get inspired to dance or research the history of dance and how it incorporates into today's world.

    This talk was about how to pick up litter. The presenter talks about an app that helps identify litter and pick it up. This sounds fun because it a easier way to clean the streets. And its an app which is attractive. I would subscribe it ti my friends.

    1. I agree with Naomi it is a fun way to help the community but it doesn't really talk about how to pick up liter but more like it is another way to help and clean up in our communities; I would rephrase it and say This video shows us how we can help communities to be more cleaner and less littered. This guy made an inspirational presentation to make a world a better place. Something around those lines. But over all I do agree with this 80%

    TED Resident Jeff Kirschner has created a community that's crowdsource-cleaning the planet.In fact, this is a very serious problem. These things usually happen to us, but those person who pay attention on these are rarely few. Jeff Kirschner can notice this problem and created the app is really valuable. I think this is very important that we should learn from him, paying attention in the usual life and discovering something that others can not notice. And his speech was very organized and he also added a picture which made his speech more convincing.

    Caroline Paul talks about fear expected from girls. Her talk is very inspiring. Saying that men should be brave and that girls must be careful. She says it's mostly because of the parents cautioning their daughters. Parents should encourage their daughters to conquer their fears so that they can be ready for life.

    1. I like this video and I 99% agree with this really important approach to raising girls. Her speech was full of fun.Her childhood was very similar to us. We climbed,ran,fell down and then got up. Her speech reminds me of my childhood and I missed that time. She was right.Everyone will become a better person and have a better life after falling down or suffering. Parent can't protect us for whole life. The most protective things they can do is encourage us and teach us become a better person.

    This is Joy Buolamwini. She talks about algorithms bias. Is about being colored and how people cannot see her because of her skin. She had to wear a white mask so the computer can see her face. She went to China to try out the social robot but it could not detect her face because of her dark skin.

    The presenter was Angélica Dass she speaks about The beauty of human skin in every color. Although she had quite a thick accent she stood he ground and presented a wonderful speech. Even though we are many years from slavery being abolished and Martin Luther Jr's speech his about his famous dream racism is still evident in our society.She speaks about how our skin color can lead to lasting judgments. She also goes on to say how in school during her art classes she would have a hard time picking skin colors for her self portraits, she was not white nor the 'natural flesh color' but nor was she black. I relate to this in so many ways growing up I always had a hard time choosing colors for my skin.

    The present was a principal of a school in Brownsville, Queens. She talks about the struggles that these kids face in the neighborhood full of poverty. She explains how now she has a 98% graduation rate and is funded with more than 1 million dollars. She gives these children opportunities to have a chance to go to college and have a good life/career. This school has improved and is not a "prison" as the title shows.

    I like this video alot. I love to listen to music especially different genres and acoustic guitar is one of my favorite instruments. The two people that played it took it to the next level and it was entertaining. The music also sounded like something like it came out of a movie trailer for a western. The techniques that they used were also cool and fun to watch.

    The presenter is Caroline Paul and she talks about bravery in women. She shared a story about when she wanted to break the world record in crawling! She didn't accomplish her goal and as a young girl she saw this as failure. But now as a woman she sees it as bravery because she got out of her comfort zone. She also shared a story about when she was a firefighter and how men thought the women there wouldn't be able to get the job done. She told us, of course parents care for their kids but they shouldn't baby the girls more than the boys because thats what created the idea of girls being scaredy cats and it also creates the ideas for the kids. I think my classmates should watch this because its very inspiring and it helps us see the worlds view better.
