"we have to live simply so that others can simply live." Amen Momma. Took a pen and wrote those very words down just last week. Timing. Call it the labor of Rosa Mystica. I am very thankful for your spirit Momma. "For all has passed- Thanks. For all that will be- Yes."
I am always watching the ted because of improve my English,
Educate and motivate myself
Thanks ted
It's going to make you dumb because it is politically selected
Use more than one source. Watching too much ted turns you in to a communist.
im also a English learner who keep watching TD to improve my language. but I think you should diversify your resources to fit in different situations.

Dolores, thank you for making me feel seen, loved, inspired, and ready to take action.
I met her once. In Bakersfield. She's Wonderful 😊
Sí, se puede! Yes, we can!
Apathy is the glove, into which evil slips its hand!
Mmm, then the real fun begins!
Well said
Socialism is the noose around people's necks.
Love that!
Good video, I would say, but not what the title implied at all.
How? She is encouraging others to go use our voices to create change rather than be apathetic, though she did veer off into issues. Her answer to removing apathy was to simply get involved and understand that you do have power.
To fight appathy, find courage.
To find courage, do courageous deed.

Want to see more aged people at TEDtalks. I believe they have wisdoms to share too
Perhaps even moreso!
You gotta be open minded in order to fully understand. Great speech overall.
Exactly. All these undercover misogynistic “men” in here bitching about the title.
To anyone who cares to read this:
Some complain that she gives too much attention to women during her speech. Here I will try to find out if this is true, as well as if she stays on topic (the topic is considered to be the title here) and speak a bit of my own opinion of this video. Attention, essay incoming, anyone bored leave now, anyone interested read everything before forming an opinion.
The title is "How to overcome apathy and find your power". Let's break down the arguments she used to help in that direction:
a) For everyone:
1) It can be hard for people to help others because they have family and other responsibilities
2)"We have to live simply so that others can simply live". Stop spending money and time in things we don't need and use them to help others.
3)The first example from her own experience, which proves that if you speak up and exhaust your set of possible actions your efforts will pay off. Ask and you shall receive, especially when it's the other persons job to provide what you ask for.
4)The second example from Leticia Prado's (sorry if I misspell) experience, where the aforementioned woman got herself and other people elected in public institutes in order to change things for the better for her own community and maybe even further. Proves you can use public offices that some people think are inaccessible in order to help more people (and yourself/family) even when other things have failed.
b)For women (the list is long but actual time spent saying these things is short):
1)It can be hard for women to help others because the fear they have from previous bad experiences can linger and immobilise their will to help people outside of their own family.Also
partly due to this but also from a lack of experience, some women do not believe they are even able to help themselves and others actively, other than the work they do for their family on a daily basis.
2)Women tend to feel like they are 70-100% (this percentage is my interpretation of what she meant) responsible for their own family's well being and thus often refuse to ask, or even accept help, even from their own husbands if any (who share equal responsibility with them) and their close relatives who may be extremely eager to help, again if any. If they lack both, friends and other people, as well as public services.
3)Women also are taught to be victims and those who believe it don't even think they can save themselves from the harsh realities of our world, let alone help others.
4)"The female is more deadly than the male".
5)Women and minorities can now get elected easier than in the past.
Keep in mind that she also gave helpful advice in what things are important to do if you wish to help, but the things she said are impossible to do before getting rid of your own apathy first (by definition of the word). She also said other things that may be helpful. What she said about women's education is far too vague to put above.
The time she spent giving advice against apathy for everyone is about 6 minutes of the 13 and a half of this video including the introduction and the examples , and the time she gave advice exclusively to women is 1 and a half to two minutes.If anyone cares for how I came up with that time, I will explain in the end. So she did not actually spend too much time talking to just women (this also stands true for the rest 6-6,5 minutes of the video).
What she did however is stray off the topic for nearly half the video and while it is still worth to listen, that half of the video does not help someone struggling with apathy. Usually ted talks are to the point, so either the title or the speech itself is misdirecting to the audience.
Furthermore, the spearheads of her speech (in terms of overcoming apathy) are 2), 3) and 4)
of the a) part, as these are the parts in which she actually gives advice, with the other arguments playing a supporting role and empathising with the difficulties of overcoming apathy. The stronger of those are 3) and 4), as 2) may be easy to do but not elaborated upon enough to show it's full potential and power ( a little help from everybody is a world of help). So to judge the effectiveness of her speech on following it's stated purpose, we have to see how effective are the 5 minutes of examples ( 3 and 4 of a ) supported by the rest of the arguments.
This is up to anyone's opinion. On one hand providing new examples to encourage people and the sheer presence of someone who is an activist/volunteer as well as the opportunity meet and talk to her is extremely helpful to someone who has given up on the world and needs some hope. The empathy displayed on her speech is also most effective in this context (my estimate is 50-80% effective in those circumstances but I could be wrong). On the other hand, most people have heard and disregarded/forgotten such examples given ample time and also the structure of her persuasion (empathy > small steps > successful examples > you can do it!) is textbook for people trying to get others to join their cause and thus not very convincing, at least from afar, as it is very hard to discriminate this talk from other such things that people hear over and over. Thus it is easy to "phase" this if not in person. Also it does not explore the nature of the problem nearly enough, leaving apathy as a vague enemy and possibly alienating people who have a serious problem with it.However examples are always good even from afar. My opinion is that the talk is effective when you listen to it in person, but has room for improvement in video form.
Other than that, through the way she speaks she does give a lot of emphasis to women even though she does not actually spend so much time talking about them. It kinda bugs me as everyone has the capacity to help and should be called for action, not just women. Also the way she uses the word "feminisation" is simply horrible, as if helping other people and countries is a feminine thing. Kindness is completely genderless and thank god that it is.But her overall disposition can be excused because as an activist she has likely faced an overwhelming amount of oppressed and overburdened women who think themselves helpless and her way of speech is obviously a way she uses to give confidence to those women.She could have avoided the feminisation thing though.Lastly although the definition she gives to feminism is bad I believe she means this: Feminism is the belief that all men and women should have equal opportunities and rights and be judged by society based on merit and not race or gender. But she said in a very crude way a list of things a feminist would do either to help people understand or to underline her own cause.
Conclusions:
1)The video though helpful, strays off topic quite a lot and should not have this title.Specifically, nearly half is blatantly out of topic and the rest of the video's helpfulness
can be debated.It is better on person, which makes sense, but is still misleading for someone who sees the video.
2)The video does not actually spend too much time on women, it is the speaker's disposition that gives emphasis on them.
3)That disposition can be excused because the speaker is trying to encourage women who have been given a hard time, and she has met countless of them in her life.
4)She still made some blunders, especially with "feminisation".
5)Conclusions 1) and 2) can be disproven if the talk is longer in reality than the video. However if they just cut the questions 1) and 2) likely remain the same.
For how long is each part, after the 8th minute of the video she stops talking about helping with apathy and focuses on other stuff, but I subtracted half a minute from 2:20 to 2:50 where she talks about the legacy we leave behind and women's education because the first is not persuasive or emphasised enough and the second is far too vague and unexplained. Other than that, 1 minute intro plus 5 minutes examples plus some change count for everyone's advice and the rest is for women.
I don't think ill of the speaker, just thought it would be fun to analyse this.
If anyone makes it to the end: Congratulations you won, er... How about some Catnip? Uh, you're not a cat you say? Well give it to your cat or something. Or a stray if you don't have one.
That and my condolences for being 1/4 the comment nerd I am :)
Ok for my opinion on what you have just typed down.
1- I commend you for knowing how much of a comment nerd you are.
2- Her appeal to her opinions on femenism are not crude. They are sumply subtle and misleading, especially how similar it's appeal is towards the views of todays... what were they called again? Radical femenists or third wave femenists.
3-Her take on empathy is lacking. Totally so. Her take on it is so generic that her femenistic opinions were put to greater light rather than just a sub-topic simply because her take on apaty is textbook level common. Though she probably did that since she wanted it to be directed to a much, much larger audience.
4-Her sub-topic (femenistic take) is quiet does not do much to answer questions on apathy and raised more eyebrows than relate to the problem. Simpy because it is a controversial topic and a meme by now.
5- What species are you to leave a 3 page long essay on a comment section in a video? What are your affiliations and where do you take all this time from in order to make the such an essay?
And I want my catnip for er... my cat! Yes, my cat that really exists!

1 Thanks for caring enough to reply despite that.
2 What she said about feminism was very specific for such a broad concept as feminism and that's what I meant by crude (simply because she said it was a definition).
2.5 About her political comments and to answer everything you said about third wave "feminists", I know of them unfortunately and they can be very toxic (especially when mixed with the radical left). One thing a great number of them like to do is make broad and vague statements to convince others they are right, and make it impossible for the other party to counter argue them when they can (by shouting, interrupting etc.). And they ignore this only when they do it. This is why I give the speaker the benefit of the doubt whenever I can, and avoid vague and/or baseless statements as much as I can (or at least I try to). For example I just called radical "feminists" "toxic" but this is just a comment, the "feeling" I get from them. It is not a valid argument even though we might agree on it, because anyone could say "this thing gives me that feeling" for no reason at all. We should always ask why when we hear that. I don't personally know the speaker, so I can't possibly know the reasons behind her words and actions
3 You are correct. When I first watched it I was surprised by how unconvincing the video was. Her empathy is too textbook and for that reason almost totally unappealing. She does not even speak like apathy is the main topic of the video. Almost as if she was told to talk about something different...
or she just doesn't understand the concept herself.And if she wanted a wider audience than feminists (and "feminists" the ones you called radicals), she simply baited and disappointed everyone else.
4 Correct. Also the subtopic was unnecessary (although she could have good intentions in having it)
5 I did this for fun and to see what would happen if someone actually took a controversial topic seriously in the comment section, ( where a lot of times you can't have a proper discussion) and actually put effort in answering these kind of questions. It was just too long, but it had to be, if I wanted to properly address some of the disagreements people had about the video in the comments. "Did she stray off topic?", "Is she too biased on women?". These simply can't be answered conclusively if you don't prove or disprove them step by step. Well, it could be shorter but this would take even more time in my part and I could do more mistakes by shortening it afterwards. As for my species I think I'm something like a shedinja. Just chilling cause I'm the ghost of a discarded cicada shell.
6 Again sorry for the long reply (IRL discussions can be this long and more in words, but take much less time because of the hassles involved in texting)
@@bourdonblanc4462 It still does not answer the main question.

Dolores Huerta is awesome. I want to become an activist too. I want to help people.
I envision empathy as something a lot of people have trouble working with people and successfully relating with solid empathy. I see a lack of empathy in my city, Medford, OR, with law enforcement and other public officers etc.

Soooo... no ACTUAL advice on overcoming apathy, then? Just saying a phrase does squat. Apathy is real. It's debilitating. It's soul destroying. It's not about the fight in front of you. It's about the next ten, next hundred, next thousand. How many fights do you have in you? How many need to be fought? How many people will fight beside you? How many will fight against you? Which fights are the most important? Which can be postponed and which can be abandoned because greater fights exist?
This is the nature of apathy... seeing the monumental horror of the wars ahead, the great impossible climb, building a ladder to the moon. You can ignore the nature of apathy for a time, but eventually the ink black shadow of it will drown you. So the question is... how do you beat apathy? Because a bumper sticker sentiment isn't going to cut it.
This sounds more like anxiety. Her advice was to go and try, even if it looks like you can't. Many people choose not to do things because their logic tells them that they will fail, or that it is too scary to overcome.
Many times I have chosen to ignore my anxiety and choose to do something intimidating anyway. Most of those times I had been wrong and everything worked out just fine. Not every time, but most of them.
She is suggesting that each person realize their own power and get involved with the world that they live in. Knowing your power can help remove apathy, for many.
@@nottodayrose Was just going to say this. The thought processes of OP sounds exactly like anxious stalling. I do it too. I find it helps to just focus on the one battle in front of you.
This talk is about realizing you have a voice and can use it, as many people might not even perceive their lives that way, letting life pass them by. To realize it is a matter of picking up that phone, or go do that thing, to make a change, and that you have the right to do so.
It sounds like you suffer from anxiety, not apathy.
Honestly, I don't see them as mutually exclusive. They are different facets of the same sick gem. The only difference I see between them is that anxiety is when you care too much about your inaction and apathy is when you don't care enough. I suffer from both.
I love her =)

"Sí, se puede" is _yes, _*_you_*_ can_ - with due respect to Chavez, Huerta, the UFW, and all Chicanos/Latinos/Hispanohablantes!
However, I don't think apathy is overcome just by giving permission, or by saying, you (or we) can, or by telling others *12:09** "get rid of the apathy; get up off of that sidewalk!" :-)*
Aiaíai, Sra. Huerta, if it was that easy...
Yet now she dares not mention her and Cesar Chavez were against illegal aliens. My how times have changed in the era of Trump.

Mixed feelings about this video.
I agree. I thought Ted wasnt meant to be political. Their rules are quite clear.
Cuba is held up as an example of free education and health care. However it wasn't pointed out that if you disagree with government, you probably will end up in prison. Human rights violations is not what we want here!!! We want AMERICA not AMERIKA!!!!!
Im happy to have been called Dolores.
So I'm making a project of Dolores Huerta and all the best facts
He has two brothers she was born in April 10th 1930s in New Mexico she grew up in sanjoaqin. 😁😁😁😁
I respect Dolores Huerta for all of the work she's done for migrant workers, they need someone to speak up for them, but stating that we should strive to be more like Cuba ... well that's just doesn't make any sense.
It wasn't what she said though. It was more an argument of "If a poor country has free healthcare and education, why can't USA?".
Pira
Yes. That’s exactly what she meant
It's nice to see a feminist who is talking about the original motivation behind feminism, and not the distorted populist feminism we see today. What a great gal! :)

You are confusing apathy with malarkey...
I thought I went into a video for apathy not women empowerment
❤❤❤
I thought this was going to be a talk about overcoming apathy and self motivation but its just talk about empowering women
I don't believe women should be presented as better than men. Or to "feminise" policies.
Both men AND women should work in tandem to see equal opportunities for all people within the law.
Was very interesting to watch though.
Not really how to overcome apathy as much as just talking about examples of doing things. She keeps asking "why", why cant we emulate these people/countries/groups?? She doesn't realize that people from the top are pushing people down?
I have been told many times that I'm apathetic, but I really don't care...............
After a couple of minutes of PC fluff, I gave up on this one.
People in Cuba have free healthcare and free education. At what cost lady? Check the situation now.

Ok Rafael. I’ll give you a better example: Mexico 🇲🇽
Mexico has The IMSS (Mexican Institute of social Security). I’m Mexican-American.
I haves lived, Studied and gone to the doctor in both countries and have been attended great by the Medical personnel there.

The feminist movement is only the hangnail of the movement to come that it must grow to be if it wishes to see its goal fulfilled without bringing either destruction or stalemate to civilization first.

How does it feel?
apathy is the best policy, everyone cares too damn much about everything.
Basically corporate greed and ego is the root of all evil.
Why is she constantly talking about women? Like women should have apathy but men don't. Kinda weird message tbh.
Is this really about apathy?
The United States of America is a republic, not a democracy. There is a difference. This speech was supposed to be a speech about apathy, but I have found it to be the wolf on sheeps clothing. This message is about democratic socialism.
actually we are in a democratic republic. There is a difference.
It is sad to see such a smart woman use Cuba as a sample of "free health care and free education" when it is not free at all. In a country that pays the working class around $20 USD dollars for 40+ hours of work, and sales the product of that work at a profit rate of 1000+ to the same working class, earning millions on what cost cents to produce, and invest back in the country development, health care, and education less than 5% of that profit altogether, you should NEVER say that something is free in that country. And that is the Cuban reality that only Cubans know about. So please, stop endorsing Cuba as a successful system when their citizens live in below poverty levels and their cities are in worst conditions than those of a country at war.
Now, it wasn't what she said though. Her argument was "If a poor country such as Cuba has free education and healthcare, why can't USA?", recognizing that Cuba IS poor and miserable.
Because there is plenty of rich countries examples too, such as large parts of Europe or Scandinavia in particular, that have free education/healthcare AND a great economy. Not so much a question of socialism/communism, but there does seem to be advantages to societies that give equal opportunity to its citizens (where more things is done right too).
@@PiraNov I do not deny the fact that a country like USA could and should have free health care and education, because I know of other rich countries that already achieved it. But using Cuba as an example for it is wrong because it gives socialism/communism merits it does not have and never will. Using Cuba as an example is like saying that a thief/murderer that takes all from its victims but give them back a penny of what it took is a benevolent human being, and yes, I used this metaphor because that's how the relation "Cuba's government - Cuban citizens" works.

First😄
If your dress went to the ankles it would be very nice.
You are loved by the Creator of Heaven and Earth and He calls you into a personal restored relationship with Him, through His Son and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus says, "I am the Way the Truth and the Life” Come to Him all who are heavy laden, burdened by life's problems, depressed and anxious, worried and conflicted, and He will give you rest. Call on His Name, the Name of Jesus, the One who has forgiven and redeemed you by His death on the Cross. “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”(John 3:16)
In the gospels, Jesus says that anyone who has the smallest amount of faith in him and in God the Father can perform miracles such as healing the sick. In fact, he instructs his followers to do works of wonder specifically to convert infidels like me.
So go ahead. Document your healing of a terminal cancer patient, please. The fact that you cannot do it is proof that the tales of Jesus are false. All Christianity is founded upon nothing but those fables, so Christianity is wrong, for certain.
I don't mean this rhetorically, Ww Lib. I would like to hear your sincere thoughts. Since you cannot or will not heal the sick, which of these is correct (it must be one of them)?
Do you think Jesus's words do not apply to you?
Do you think the gospels are purely fictional?
Do you have no faith in Jesus?
Do you think Jesus was a liar?
@@LughSummerson Thanks for replying. #1 Jesus' words are for me, #2 The Gospels are not fictional, #3 I exercise the faith in Jesus that was small as a mustard seed and now it has grown to be quite large, and #4 Jesus is NOT a liar.
But let me ask you them? Do you think Jesus's words do not apply to you?
WHY NOT?
Do you think the gospels are purely fictional?
WHY?
Do you have no faith in Jesus?
WHY DO YOU NOT USE THE FAITH YOU HAVE?
Do you think Jesus was a liar? WHY DO YOU THINK JESUS, GOD IN THE FLESH, IS A LIAR?
Rather than challenging a believer to explain himself and his beliefs, why don’t you challenge yourself to pursue God with all your heart, mind, strength and soul? His Words are given to you too. Have a good day.
Okay, I will answer your question. Yes, the gospels are fictional, for certain. Why? Because the gospels say you can heal the sick and you do not do it. You are the living proof that the gospels are bullshit.
Now please answer the question that I asked you. Jesus told his followers to heal the sick and said that anyone who has faith in him can do it.
Why can't you?
If Jesus's words are for you, he is telling you to do miracles.
If the gospels are not fiction, you really have the power to heal the sick, if, as you claim, you have faith in Jesus.
Why is it that you are not able to?
@@LughSummerson If you believe the gospels are fiction to you how on earth do you expect to be a participant in anything God is doing? Or recognize when a true believer has employed the wonderful Gifts of the Spirit. Most prayers for healings are prayed in private, prayers you would not be privy to, and when a person is healed, you would not understand the connection. You accuse falsely, perhaps out of ignorance of God's love for you. Seek Him while He may be found - which implies there will come a day when all your seeking will prove fruitless. Jesus died for your sins. If you say you are not a sinner, you are a liar. That is the truth mankind doesn't want to face. Confess your sins, repent, turn to the Lord for the salvation that is only available in His Name and by His sacrifice to pay the penalty for you. Exercise the small seed of faith you have been given. Have a good day.
@@LughSummerson That was YOUR question, not mine. I asked you why you don't challenge yourself to pursue God with all your heart, mind, strength and soul.
Seriously, the United States help developing countries?
I couldn't care less what a man-hating feminist has to say on any topic about anything or any part of it... you deserve every negative thing that happens to you.
I'm sure you saw a really convincing video of a lady crazily screaming about how she hates men but that is not what this talk was about and it's not how most feminist think. You just heard the word "feminist" and shut down and started foaming at the mouth because it's what you've been programed to do. I know this because she actually says something that I am sure you would actually agree with. That women should not act like victims. Y'aknow, that thing all you anti-fems say all the time? She said it too. You might have realized that if you weren't so busy having a #triggered seizure.
Mehhhh
