Good noon, ladies and gentlemen! How wonderful that I can show you my ideas about riveting talks by remarkable people free to the world. To begin with I should inform you about the motto of the site: «Ideas worth spreading». This is true, because if you want to be not only a substitute detail of the world, you will be aware about most of the new trends in it. I was interested in that topic: http://www.ted.com/talks/cynthia_schneider_the_surpr....
I think that you wouldn’t mind my showing the feedback. I strongly believe that public opinion is an opinion of mass-media, which people believe in. And this video will be useful for everybody who wants to see the world (especially politics, economics and art) without fiction and mystery. Firstly, you have to know some facts about the speaker. Her name is Cynthia Schneider. She studies culture and politics - watching how novels, TV shows and cultural engagement around the globe (and especially within the Muslim world) might lead to political change.
During the listening to the record I can easily realize everything in the speaker’s speech, so my understanding of the topic is beyond the 95%. Of course, when I listened to it at first time, there were some complexities with comprehension of some thoughts, but after the second listening I got it. Thanks to our English!
I don’t want to tell you too much about the content of the video, because it is worth seeing, but I am going to share with you some points of view. How wonderful that some Muslim countries begin to integrate into the fast-moving European world. I can’t see something destructive that these countries (with a real weak economy) start to plan their lives like Americans do. I think, that it is a good practice to involve Muslim’s world into the democracy processes even in TV. And people of these countries begin to conduct more polite, more respecting and ethical.
I'd like to provide some context for the comment about "Afhgans learning to lose gracefully". Over the course of the first four seasons of the AFGHAN IDOL program, the behavior of the contestants changed. In the first couple of seasons, those who lost did not always take it well, and sometimes reacted strongly, even violently. This behavior has changed over time as contestants and their fans got used to the ups and downs of winning in losing. In recent Afghan history (Russian occupation and Taliban) there have not been many opportunities to experience winning and losing in what otherwise might be normal activities of sports and talent contests. So, it is not surprising that reactions to winning and losing in the public arena of Afghan Star have evolved over time.
Afterwards I want to tell you that this practice will be useful for every country wanting to be rich and powerful, with strong laws and confident people.
Thank you for your attention!
