TEDx Talks· 2025-12-17 17:05
So, I'm going to tell you just three stories today. Three very important stories from my own lived experiences and some of my reflections over the past couple of years. There's a boy I think about very often. Something happened last year and I haven't stopped thinking about this boy since then. So, it was a week before I traveled to the US. I was prepared to go to America for the first time in my life. I went to the mall to do some shopping and I parked my car just outside the mall. I went in, got a few thi ...
What We Must Teach Our Boys | Omoruyi Edoigiawerie Esq | TEDxAdmiralty Way
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-17 17:05
Core Argument - The redefinition of masculinity is needed, shifting from strength and dominance to vulnerability, understanding, and self-awareness [7][8][12] - True masculinity involves recognizing one's limitations, seeking help, and being able to express emotions [12] - The current misdefinition of masculinity leads to leaders who cannot lead themselves and communities that are weak despite appearing strong [9][10] Pillars of Manhood - Stability is crucial in a fast-paced world, emphasizing consistency over fleeting excitement [14] - Accountability requires men to take responsibility for their actions and apologize when wrong [14] - Responsibility to self involves taking ownership of one's actions and not shifting blame [15] - Vulnerability means embracing one's inner self and living despite shortcomings, rather than suppressing emotions [15] The Importance of Character - Character is essential for sustaining success, as hard work alone is insufficient [16] - Character underpins accountability, ensuring actions are driven by integrity rather than manipulation [17][18] - Vulnerability, coupled with character, leads to freedom and responsible action towards oneself and the community [19][20] Societal Impact - Raising boys with the right values is crucial for building strong families, communities, and nations [22][24] - The future depends on men understanding their limits, knowing when to rest, and building sustainably with character [21][22] - Society needs leaders who can lead themselves, fostering a community built on values and virtues [25]
The Trap of Survival: Reprogramming the Boy Child | Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji | TEDxAdmiralty Way
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-17 17:04
Societal Expectations and Gender Roles - Society places higher expectations on men and boys than on women, leading to an unwritten curriculum about how men should be [1] - Boys are taught to be strong but not whole, suppressing their emotions and hindering their humanity [1] - Men are conditioned to postpone their grief, and society often invalidates their feelings [2] - Aggression is celebrated, while vulnerability is shamed, molding boys into armors instead of human beings [2] Impact on Men and Society - Broken men raising families can lead to violence being mistaken for power [1] - Men may struggle to express their true emotions, leading to broken leadership in various sectors [1] - Men are not excused for not having money in materialistic societies, leading to pressure and unhealthy relationships [4] Solutions and Recommendations - Society needs a new revolution of reprogramming boys, giving them permission to feel and validating their fears [2] - Fathers and male mentors should act as mirrors and guides, teaching emotional literacy and the ability to apologize [3] - Women have a responsibility to hold space for the men in their lives, creating a safe and non-judgmental environment [5] - Emotional intelligence should be embedded into the curriculum, removing the shame that men are socialized to feel [5] - Focus should not be solely on women's programs, as it unintentionally excludes and stereotypes men [5]

Or maybe when you were at your workplace and they suddenly announced AI automation and the whole room goes quiet.We have all had those moments, right.

The Secret to a Meaningful Life: Why Giving is the Best Cheat Code | Jonathan Donath | TEDxSouthlake
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-17 16:56
Core Message - The core message revolves around the transformative power of consistent, daily giving, regardless of the amount [1][3][15] - Giving is presented not just as an act of charity, but as a fundamental aspect of human nature and a means to personal fulfillment [5][6] - The act of giving is portrayed as a skill that can be developed and strengthened through regular practice, similar to learning a musical instrument or a sport [5][8] Key Principles - The principle of automating giving, even in small amounts like $1 a day, to ensure consistent charitable action [3] - The idea that giving creates a "giving frequency" that positively impacts both the giver and the receiver, fostering a sense of connection and purpose [10][11][12] - The concept of overcoming barriers to giving, such as feeling overwhelmed by choices or fearing financial insecurity, by making it a daily habit [7][8] Supporting Evidence - The speaker's personal experience of giving over $27 million to charity over six years, inspired by his grandfather's example and a YouTube video [1] - The story of a man who signed up his young children for daily giving to instill a lifelong habit of generosity [2][3] - Testimonials from individuals who experienced positive changes in their lives, such as increased self-worth and a sense of belonging, through daily giving [3][4]
A Heart-Based Solution to Climate and Plastics | Kristy Drutman | TEDxGreatPacificGarbagePatch
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-17 16:17
When I was in college at UC Berkeley studying environmental policy, I thought I had all the answers about how to save the planet. I'd walk around campus and I would see people tossing their plastic bags and bottles into the trash instead of the recycling bin. And I would feel this surge of frustration.Don't they know better. Don't they care. But then I'd go home to my family in the Philippines where my Lola, my grandmother, would weave plastic bags into purses for me.Not because she read an article about up ...

Now, while that sink ...
