The Big Picture 放眼全局
关于本次活动 TEDxChange2012 – 2012年4月5日
柏林直播发起:Melinda French Gates
主持:Chris Anderson
在当今经济气候的影响下,人们都只顾着为自己家庭的眼下需求操心。其实,我们应当比以往更加清楚地认识到,我们是人类社会的一部分,在这里,全球各地的人们相互依存。与此同时,在这个社会中,还有太多的人连最基本的需求都无法满足,没有食物,没有洁净的饮用水,必要时也得不到药物治疗或接种疫苗。 我们,不能再这样下去了。 在2012年4月5日这天,我们将退后一步以放眼全局——作为一个社会,我们为什么要坚定不移地投资世界卫生和发展?我们怎样才能跨越国界与政治界限以便做出更多积极的改变?另外,我们能从这种投资中获得怎样的回报?既定嘉宾 Melinda Gates
