In this vidio Terry Moore reveals that he has an answer to the all questions asked of us. The question is, Why does the letter X represent the unknown? Like in math class, but now, it's everywhere - The X prize, The X-Files, Project X, TEDx. Where does it come from? About six years Terry decided to study Arabic, which turned out to be a very logical language. Writing a word or phrase or sentence in Arabic is like assembling an equation, because each part is very precise and brings a lot of information. That is one of the reasons many of us come to the conclusion that science, mathematics, and engineering in the West today have actually been used in the first centuries by Persians, Arabs, and Turks. Includes a small system in Arabic called al-jebr. And al-jebr is roughly translated to "System to match different sections." Al-jebr finally came to England as an algebra. One of the many other things. The Arabic text containing the wisdom of mathematics finally reached

TED SUMMARY Jhon McWhorter: Txtng is killing language. JK!!! Technology is so ingrained in today’s society that to the younger generations, texting shorthand and having conversations without verbally speaking is the norm. Words like “LOL” and “hashtag” are so common, that one can not only see it being used in texting, but also in everyday speech. Some see this as the decline of humanity’s literacy, but it may not actually be what they suspect. John McWhorter, in his TED talk “Txtng is Killing Language. JK!!!” brings to light a whole new understanding of this supposed decline of literacy. McWhorter’s TED talk clarifies that today’s communication technology has not caused literacy to decrease; it has actually allowed humanity to grow as a society and as a result, a new language has appeared in the form of texting. McWhorter’s TED talk is effective as it uses ethos, pathos, and logos to inform and persuade skeptics of today’s texting culture that texting is not killing language, beca

 “How to make stress your friend” spoken by Kelly McGonigal correctly portrays the effects of stress on the human body and how an individual can change their opinion of stress to remove the negative effects because however one views stress is how it affects them, negative or positive. McGonigal discussed the causes of stress and how the causes can hurt or help the age one dies among other concerns, like risk of heart attacks. As a health psychologist, she addresses how over the years she has told people to avoid stress because it is bad for you. She continues to explain that her opinion has changed, “My goal as a health psychologist has changed. I no longer want to get rid of your stress. I want to make you better at stress...If you raised your hand and said you'd had a lot of stress in the last year, we could have saved your life, because hopefully the next time your heart is pounding from stress, you're going to remember this talk and you're going to think to yourself, t

Today, a baffled lady observed the shell where my soul dwells and announced that I'm "articulate" which means that when it comes to enunciation and diction. I don't even think of it ‘Cause I’m "articulate" . So when my professor asks a question and my answer is tainted with a connotation of urbanized suggestion there’s no misdirected intention pay attention ‘Cause I’m “articulate” So when my father asks, “Wha’ kinda ting is dis?” My “articulate” answer never goes amiss I say “father, this is the impending problem at hand”. And when I’m on the block I switch it up just because I can, so when my boy says, “What’s good with you son?” I just say, “I jus’ fall out wit dem people but I done!” And sometimes in class I might pause the intellectual sounding flow to ask “Yo! Why dese books neva be about my peoples” Yes, I have decided to treat all three of my languages as equals because I’m “articulate”. But who controls articulation? Because the English language is

Chinese characters are part of a beautiful language, but to outsiders can be difficult to learn. A Chinese person would know 20,000 characters, but only 1,000 are used frequently. Knowing 200 will let a traveller get by, to work out road signs, menus, time tables. Shaolan goes through 8 basic characters and explains how to chain them together to form more complicated characters Put 2 people next to each other and it represents follow. Put 3 people in the same character and they are a crowd. You can continue to chain images together to get more complicated characters: From the first 8 radicals (parts of a character), we have formed 30 characters. We can then chain 2 characters together to form phrases. For example a fire mountain is a volcano, Japan is the land of the rising sun, so sun character combined with foundation. If you take these characters and add ‘person’ character

Diana Laufenberg is a teacher who shares a few things she’s learned about how most school’s teach and how most children learn. In the 1930’s, when Diana’s grandmother was in gradeschool, the purpose of going to class was to get information.  Students got all of their information from teachers and stored it all in their brains. When Diana was in school, information became more readily accessible in the form of encyclopedia’s and textbooks. At the same time the internet became popular, she started teaching in Kansas. After the first year of teaching, she decided she needed to change her approach to teaching. Instead of she posed a challenge to her students: put on an election for your own community. They took ownership of the challenge, exceeded all expectations, and were able to learn while they created something useful and impactful. As her career progressed she was also witness to how meaningful and authentic students were when they were given a chance to speak freely. The final p
