  • A reply on Conversation: Are citizens "ALWAYS" good?

    Jul 13 2011: I totally agree with you that censorship by government is to often. I think one possible reason is that "beyond every formations of government has the exclusive parties of people". Political party is the one significant example of "exclusive parties".

    From this, we can think censorship by government is censorship by political parties. The governing party censors some critics to sustain their political life. I think that is the reason why government censors, especially critics opposed to government.

    Jul 13 2011: Of course human rights in china are extremely suppressed. Actually, China government censors all I/O thru the internet. In this case, bringing people the free access of the internet is the one way to improve human rights. No one doubts about that.

    As other friends mentioned below, government's role is minimized in the nation which citizens have full human rights. However, violences and crimes occured among that citizens. In this case, government can enforce law to protect other citizens. That IS the minimized role of the government.

    Remember: the opposite meaning of this debate thread is NOT "governments are always good"

    A comment on Conversation: What about TED-based clubs in schools? TED-based classes?

    Feb 28 2011: Well, I think TED is the most creative platform around the world, and its community is powerful, too.

    Like you, I'm high school student, and some students are familiar to watch TEDtalk. Even I found TEDtalk in classroom! But... that's all. No progress are created. I think they don't have an idea for share in groups.

    I currently organize my own TEDx event, unfortunately I'm not focused on my school, but broader area. Maybe you can organize TEDx event in your school, sharing TEDtalks, and their own ideas. That will be a solution you want to discover.

    Have fun with TED :-)

  • A comment on Conversation: Has a TED Talk ever influenced you? How?

    Feb 25 2011: Like others, Sir Ken Robinson's talk was the first TEDtalk I've been watched, but this is not my best influenced talk.

    As we know, TED have lots of talks about technology, social problems, and more 'heavy' problems around the world, but it have many emotionally inspired talks.
    Especially, Rives' talk does. His talks are sometimes ingenious, sometimes moving, and funny at all.
    Moreover, his talks sometimes moving emotionally without any translations! (I think one of this reason is that he is poet)

    ps. I'll be an associated webcast member at TED2011. I hope there will be a moment of inspiration, but I'm at South Korea, that means I'll watch the webcast at 4:00 am, as Rives said :)

    A comment on Conversation: Could "dictator" be abolished from the global lexicon by 2012?

    Feb 25 2011: Well... dictators in the Middle East will disappear by 2012, but North Korea still exists.

    Actually, North Korea prohibits online communications between ordinary people because dictator Kim doesn't want political revolution in North Korea

    A comment on Conversation: Should anyone be able to upload their TEDTalk to TED.com?

    Feb 17 2011: I think TED have its extraordinary style, even talks from partners or TEDx events, and TED's style is the best way to explain why people are 'addicted' to TEDTalks.

    so, talks on TED.com should be curated by TED staff. But TED staff should find more interesting TED-like talks.
