Theme: What you don't see

Each one of us has our own perspective of seeing the world, but do we completely understand and see things through that are happening in this world? If not, there must be reasons for that. We tend not to have interests in the subjects that are uncomfortable and complicated for us, which unconsciously leads us to ignore them as a result. The ignorance then becomes our habit and we try even less to understand the factuality of the events that arise in our daily lives, so we easily overlook or absorb them.

TEDxAPU aims for the chance that allows our audiences to develop the sense of critical thinking, deeper intellection, wider interests in various topics and more importantly, to adjust and continue these strengths in their everyday lives.
