a) Ken Robinson
b) "Schools kill creativity"
c) Relationship between Education and creativity
d) Ken Robinson has a presentation which is in order to develop children’s creativity, the education system should be changed.
e) He led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative education. He is an author and educator.
f) The main topic is that the education that we are having now focuses on teaching students to become good workers rather than creative thinkers. Also, he mentions that nowadays academic subjects are the main subjects in schools and students focus on getting good marks on their report card. The truth is that students should cultivate creative thinking and their curiosity. That is what we need.
g) I was excited about this particular Ted Talk because I was curious why schools kill creativity on students and I sort of agree with this statement.
h) The presenter changed my view and behavior. During the school classes, all I concentrate on was getting "A"s on academic subjects and my major (Art) but I slowly think that that is not the all I need. Thinking deeply and asking questions to me are also very important. Maybe, I am already accustomed to becoming just a good worker. I will have to look back on myself.
i) The sentence I will take away with me is that being wrong is not the worst thing.
2.
a) Dan Gilbert
b) "Why are we happy?"
c) Exploring happniess
d) Dan Gilbert represents the true meaning of happiness. We often think that getting what we want is the best happiness. However, Dan tries to challenge that idea. Our “psychological immune system” would make us feel truly happy even though the things do not go what we planned or wanted.
e) He is a Harvard psychologist. He published the book called, "Stumbling on Happiness". He has won a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Phi Beta Kappa teaching prize for his work at Harvard. He has written essays and articles for New Tork Times and Starbucks.
f) The main thesis is that our thoughts which will make us happy are often wrong.
g) I was excited with this TED Talk because the title which is "Why Are We Happy" really intrigues me. I also have some questions to myself what makes us happy or what we think is happy is the true happiness.
h) Dan Gilbert changes my view on happiness. I thought that true happiness would come from how we think about. Also, I have never thought about the synthetic happiness. The speaker explains about the synthetic happiness that people used to think that is true happiness. I learned that we often overrate the difference between what we got and did not receive.
i) "When our ambition is unbounded, it leads us to lie, to cheat, to steal, to hurt others, and to sacrifice things of real value."

a) Ron Gutman
b) "The hidden power of smiling"
c) Power of smile
d) Ron Gutman talks about some surprising results of studies about smiling. By only looking at smile, people are able to measure how long they can live.
e) Ron Gutman is a founder and CEO of Health Cap. He was founder and CEO of Wellsphere, an online consumer health company that developed the world's largest community of independent health writers. He also made a group of faculty and graduate students to find ways to help people live healthier and happier lives.
f) The main point Ron is making about the topic is that people might think smiling is not a big of a deal but actually it is very important to smile many time. In addition, smiling is an evolutionarily contagious so it is common to smile when people look at someone who is smiling.
g) I am excited about this topic because I did not realize smiling influences a lot of things in life. Also, the title, “The Hidden Power of Smiling”, made me curious about power of smiling.
h) The speaker changed the way I view his topic. Before I listened to his speaking, I did not recognize the just smiling makes people feel good. Also, it was fascinating that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate.
i) "I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish."

a) Kate Hartman
b) "The art of wearable communication"
c) Arts and technology
d) Kate Hartman explores how people communicate with world by using wearable electronics. She made "Talk to Yourself Hat", "Inflatable Hat", and "Glacier Embracing Suit" in order to provoke and develop talk.
e) Kate Hartman is an artist, technologist, and educator. She is also a professor of Wearable and Mobile Technology at the Ontario Collage of Art and Design. Being the co-creator of Botanicalls, she is working to explore the system for letting houseplants to call their owners when they need water or else.
f) The main point Kate is making about the topic is that people have to be active listeners which led them good relationships. That is why she created many creative hats to show the new modes of expression and communication.
g) I was excited with this TED Talk. While I was looking for TED Talk about arts, I found this one. Because I am a visual art major, I wonder what is arts that are wearable. I have never thought about it. Also, it appeals to me because I am intrigued with the communication arts.
h) Kate changed my belief that it is impossible to communicate with non-living things. Through watching her talk and creations such as hats and suits, it changed my bias. People can relate to world around them by expressing and communicating with environment and themselves. Also, I am going to try to create and think about art pieces that can relate to not only people but also with nature and environment.
i) The one image I will take away with me is the image of Kate with "Glacier Embracing Suit".

a) Matt Cutts
b) "Try something new for 30 days"
c) inspiring
d) Matt Cutts suggested that for 30 days try something you have always meant to do or wanted to do. This talk gives that suggestion to actually think about how to start setting and achieving goals.
e) Matt Cutts is an engineer at Google where he helps webmasters to understand how search works (specializing in search optimization). Also, he works making hundreds of videos that answer questions about Search Engine Land. He supports that link spam should be shut down.
f) The main point in this TED Talk is that some people may think 30 days is short to do something special or start new activities. However, during a month, people can really achieve what they really want or try to find. They can decide to change small habits or do what they really experience continuously for 30 days.
g) I was excited about this talk because it really gives me inspiration. Finishing what I have decided to do is difficult. For example, when I decide to draw every painting, I only did 2week continuously. Therefore, after hearing the Matt Cutt's talk, I determine to finish my promise which is drawing human figure every day for 30 days.
h) Matt Cutts gives me realization that undertaking small changes should be sustainable. Before I watched his TED Talk, I did not recognize that small changes do not matter on my life. However, these little alterations influence bigger changes. I am going to try not only new activities, but also something I really want to do. In my case, if I accomplish my engagement that drawing human every day, later on, I would have more skills on observing people’s traits and drawing precisely. Therefore, it is very significant to manage and confirm myself in 30 days in order to spend essentially.
i) The one sentence I will take away with me is, "why do you waiting for? I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not try something new that you have always wanted to try."

a) JR
b) "Use Art to turn the world inside out"
c) Arts
d) JR who is the French street artist uses photos of people's faces to show the world its true face by pasting them on the walls. He made the TED Prize wish at TED2011, to use art to turn the world inside out. Also, he tells people to join in at insideoutproject.net.
e) JR is the street artist. He travelled to distant and dangerous places to befriend with inhabitants, hear their stories, and recruit them as models and collaborators. By using his 28mm wide-angle lens, he could capture the spirits of individuals. These images pasted on the urban surfaces such as buildings, bridges,trains, or even rooftops. He finished many projects around the world. He won the prize of TED Talk 2011.
f) The main topic of JR's talk is that arts can change perceptions and the way we see the world. Each portrait he took is a story. Through his many projects, he reveals the world the true faces. For example, one of this project called, "Women Are Heroes", depicts that women who goes through the war, poverty, violence, and oppression. Some may think the projects are just bunch of people's photos in the cities but, each portrait is story. Therefore, he wants to turn the world inside out through arts.
g) I was excited about JR's TED Talk. I found out this TED Talk in my photography class in school. Donna showed this talk to all students in the photography class and I was excited to listen to his saying and his projects around the world. Also, since I like to take pictures, it really inspired me.
h) Before I listened to this TED Talk, I had never thought of people could change the world by arts. When I thought about arts, education was the first in my mind. However, it was wrong. It is potential that the way arts portray the world change the way we see the world. JR took pictures of people around the world and pasted them in the cities. One of his work, “Women Are Heroes” in Brazil depicts the power of women. There was a terrible accident in Brazil that three students were detained by army because they were not carrying their papers. Then the army took them and brought them to an enemy favela where they got chopped into pieces. After he heard that, he went to Brazil and started his project there. He showed his strong attempt to change the perception of world through his action, not only by talking. In this part, JR really inspired me and gave me a new improved vision that my decision and action can help other people who need support.
i) JR 's TED Prize wish, " I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we'll turn the world inside out."

a) Gever Tulley
b) 5 dangerous thing you should let your kids to do
c) Education and arts
d) Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, spells out 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do and give the reasons why a little danger is good for both kids and grownups.
e) A software engineer, Gever Tulley is the co-founder of the Tinkering School, a weeklong camp where lucky kids get to play with their very own power tools. He's interested in helping kids learn how to build, solve problems, use new materials and hack old ones for new purposes. He's also a certified paragliding instructor.
f) The main point of his speech is that people especially parents over protect their children. At the past time, it is usually for parents to let their children outside and play in nature, but nowadays they over protect their children from the world. It is sometimes very important for them to get hurt because over protection can cut off children’s great chances to learn how to interact with the problems and world. In contrast, the things parents have to do is nurturing their children’s creativity and confident. The five dangerous things they should let their kids to do are playing with fire, owning a pocket knife, throwing a spear, deconstructing appliances, and breaking the DMCA.
g) I wondered what the five dangerous thing kids have to do are and wanted to find out did I do those things when I was young.
h) The presenter changed my view. I never imagine that playing with fire actually help children scientifically. When I hear the children playing the fire, the first thing in my mind is that they could hurt themselves. In fact, I notice from the video that getting hurt for children is not the most terrible thing in the world. Because I did not have experiences in my childhood playing dangerously, it seems irregular to let children play with fire, own a pocket knife, or even deconstruct appliances. Maybe, I can use that information when I have my own children. ;)
i) “When we round every corner and eliminate every sharp object every pokey bit in the world, then the first them that kids come in contact with anything sharp or nor made out of round plastic, they’ll hurt themselves with it.”

a) Brene Brown
b) The Power of Vulnerability
c) Expanding perception
d) Through her research, Brene Brown explained the human connection which includes our capability to empathize, belong, and love. Collecting many stories from people, she could find out the deep insight from the stories to understand humanity.
e) Brene Brown is a social worker and research professor at the University Of Houston Graduate College Of Social Work. She researched vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame for last ten years. First five years, she spent her time to collect people’s stories focusing on shame and empathy. She is now using those works to investigate a concept that she is interested in.
f) Her main point in this TED Talk is that people tend to excruciate vulnerability because they think it is shame. However, people have to embrace the vulnerability which is necessary for their joy, creativity, belonging, and love. In other word, if they numb vulnerability, they also numb everything such as joy, gratitude, and happiness. The vulnerability is related to their willingness. According to her research, people who have strong sense of belonging and love believe that they are worthy of love and belonging because they are whole-hearted and living with the deep sense of worthiness. On the other hand, people who always struggle with their imperfection are feared that they are not worthy enough. This is the difference between people who are afraid of vulnerability and who accept the vulnerability.
g) I was excited with this particular TED Talk because the word, “vulnerability”, is described my personality. Brene Brown accurately explains what I have worried and concerned about. Also, I never thought that vulnerability can have the power to people and I wondered about the power the vulnerability can give to them.
h) Brene Brown totally changes my thought and viewpoint. Living in a vulnerable society every day, our reaction to deal with vulnerability is to ignore it. I have always embarrassed with my vulnerability because I think it is showing my weakness to others so I tend to norm my vulnerability to others. It is shame for me to reveal my weakness However, after listening to her story about people who embrace their vulnerability, it made me compare with myself. They are willing to do something that does not have certainty and they are whole-hearted. They have courage, belonging, and love. It is definitely challenging. She said, “You cannot selectively numb emotion”. In other word, whenever we try to eliminate the strong feeling like disappointment, grief, and depression, we are also trying to get rid of our joy, gratitude, and creativity. This relationship made me shocked because it is paradox that every time I numb strong uncomfortable feelings, I am actually killing emotions like love and happiness. . Not only that, but I also have a struggle thinking about my imperfectness. It is very stressful and makes me blaming myself and others. However, since I learn how to be happy with feeling vulnerable, I should try to listen and keep remaining myself that everything I am doing have impacts on others.
i) “This is what I have found: to let ourselves to be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen; to love with our whole hearts, even though there is no guarantee, and that’s really hard.” “What might happen to say, “I’m just so grateful because to feel vulnerable means I’m alive.” “Believe we are enough then we stop screaming and start to listen. We’re kinder and gentler to people around us and we’re kinder and gentler to ourselves”

a) Julian Treasure
b) The 4 ways sound affects us
c) Entertainment
d) Playing sound effects both pleasant and awful, Julian Treasure shows how sound affects us in four significant ways. Listen carefully for a shocking fact about noisy open-plan offices.
e) Julian Treasure tries hard to study sound and how that sounds affect us. He is the chair of the Sound Agency. He is also the author of the book Sound Agency.
f) The main point of this TED Talk is that people have to listen around them carefully and hos those sounds are able to change people’s emotions. The four ways sound affects us are physiological, psychological, cognitive, and behavioral.
g) I was excited with this TED Talk because I am very sensible with the sound of vacuuming and washing dishes at home. Every time I hear those loud sounds, they make me very dizzy and stressful.
h) Julian Treasure’s main point in this video is that the sound we hear can affect our condition and also productivity. Furthermore, people have to consider carefully about the ways sound around them influence them because the sound can change their body, mental ability, and behavior.
i) I will take the sound of birdsong away with me because the sound of nature is the best music in the Earth.

a) Raghava KK
b) Shake up your story
c) Entertainment and art
d) Artist Raghava KK demos his new children's book for iPad with a fun feature: when you shake it, the story -- and your perspective -- changes.
e) Raghava KK began his career in art as a newspaper cartoonist His work spans painting, sculpture, installation, film and performance, always linked by his challenging opinions on identity, conformity, gender, celebrity, ceremony. Raghava KK's paintings and drawings use cartoonish shapes and colors to examine the body, His early work as a painter made a complete break with his cartoon career -- he painted watercolors on canvas using only his hands and feet.
f) The main point in this speech is that people have to teach perspective to children in order to create their creativity. That's why he creates the children's books that are able to be shaken and then there are other perspectives coming out.
g) The reason I was particularly excited about this TED Talk is that I am very interested in becoming a children’s book illustrator because children's story books have to be simple but also contain a lot of meaning to it. Today people use technology everywhere and he created the IPad children's books that can be shaken or moved. I like to create my own movable story books.
h) The presenter broadens my view. I never thought of creating story books in IPod, especially designed for children. In fact, teaching perspective can affect children’s empathy because by learning other’s perspectives they can actually put themselves in the shoes of someone who is different from them. The world surrounding us is all biased so giving them multi perspectives can influence them to consider others’ thought and respect them.
i) The sentence I will take away with me is “Teaching perspectives is the best way to teach creativity.”
