Loving conflict: The intimacy that builds collaboration across division | Anna Lecat | TEDxGraz
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:13
Growing up, we are told conflict is bad. Avoid it. Be nice to each other. However, avoiding conflict does not keep us together. It pulls us apart. Silence, resentment, lost connections. Every conversation you don't have is a connection you have already lost. My choice is different. I love conflict. Not violence, not war, not aggression. Rather, the conflict in hard conversations, the tensions, you know those moments that we all run away from. I used to run too until I didn't until I engaged in the conflict ...

The Evolution of Women in Computer Science | Ananya Pradhan | Ananya Pradhan | TEDxHarkerSchool
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 16:51
Historical Context & Gender Bias in Computer Science - The field of computing was initially filled with women, but their work was often seen as clerical rather than coding [1] - Unlike other academic subjects, female participation in computer science declined after the peak of second-wave feminism in the 1970s [1] - Sexist advertisements and articles in the 1960s portrayed women in computing as primarily valued for their appearance or ability to support men [1] - The erasure of individual women's contributions in computer science was aided by referring to them as groups (e g, "the Eniac Girls") rather than by name [2] Barriers to Women's Advancement - Subtle discrimination, such as undermining comments and being relegated to menial tasks, significantly limited women's flourishing in computer science [2] - Women in computer science at MIT experienced a "fishbowl syndrome," feeling isolated and constantly scrutinized [2] - Lack of female mentors and encouragement in the 1980s contributed to women leaving the field [2] Call to Action & Future Outlook - Small changes in words, actions, and self-reflection about assumptions are crucial for creating an inclusive future [3][4] - Asking hard questions about actions in industry, academia, and social situations is essential for progress [4][5] - Recognizing women's individual contributions and autonomy is a necessary step, as progress is ongoing [6] - Allies, both female and male, are essential for creating a supportive environment [9]

Good afternoon everyone. Can you hear me in the back as well. Um, so I'm Anna. I'm from year 12.And I would like to start tonight by asking you a question that has been on my mind for a while now. What makes some ideas burn and ignite the world while others fade away. You see, the concept of ideas that burn made me realize these aren't just thoughts.They go beyond that to a world of passions, visions, and solutions. The truth is the most transformative ideas aren't stumbled upon by chance. They are meticulo ...
