Ted Talk Video

For the Blogging Task 2 I have looked through some good TED talk videos and found one of the most common issues every human has.


1.)


Here's the link to the video:
 https://www.ted.com/talks/yassmin_abdel_magied_what_does_my_headscarf_mean_to_you


2.)  So the author of this presentation is Yassim Abdel-Magied.  She is a speaker, she wears a headscarf for which she calls a Hijab.  She works as a mechanical engineer, she's an inspiring writer,  and as said in her bio, she's activist who campaigns for tolerance and diversity.  She was born in Sudan, after she moved to Australia when she was 2 years old.  From there she was trained as a mechanical engineer.  She was even named the 2015 Queensland Australian Muslim of the Year. She inspires many youths and women.


3.)  I choose this video because I think it teaches us and makes us realize 2 different perspectives.  One is  what we think, the other is what they think.  We judge people based on their looks, what they do or their personalities, but they don't bother to know that person.  This video made me realize a huge difference,  Yassim changed peoples thoughts.  Not by judging or infer and right away tell how that person is without even knowing that person. It's how we can make a better community, a good civilization.  I'm pretty sure a lot of people in class would relate and have this topic running through their minds because this is common.  As also said in her bio "Yassim Challenges us us to look beyond our initial perceptions, and to open doors to new ways of supporting others."  which is why this opens peoples eyes, to realize  what their missing out.
