You are more likely to die violently if you live in a middle-income democracy with high levels of inequality and political polarization than if you live in a country at war, says democracy advisor Rachel Kleinfeld. This historical shift in the nature of violence presents an opportunity for everyday voters to act as a great force for change in their unbalanced societies. In this eye-opening talk, Kleinfeld unravels the causes of violence and offers a path to security for the world's deadliest countries.

How much is America involved in these wars and takeovers 🤔
Survival of the fittest
and who controls America? Got a clue have you? Here's a big clue it's Israel using the USA to do their dirty work!!!!! Sick of people blaming the USA rather than the real villains.
Probably already been posted, but her initial assertion that Brazil has more violent deaths than Syria is only true in absolute numbers . When the vastly largely population of Brazil (210m) versus that of Syria (18.5m) is factored in, then the 2017 rate of violent deaths is six times as many in Syria (0.18%) as in Brazil (0.03%). I'm a bit surprised she did not mention this and I quickly lost faith in her analysis.
Well - well meaning activists are also just activists. 🤷🏻♂️
They think (and this is sadly often true concerning the popularity of some certain politicians) that people are not able to think logically for themselves and need an easy narrative to push them to change.
You're totally right. Activists are always trying to deviate numbers. Why?
@@dgbastoss1 Because the real world is complicated and nuanced.
An ideology or narrative isn't. And it needs to bend the facts to claim its right to exist.
If you would try to give reality justice, single TED talks would go on for weeks.

@@MetallicReg I THINK SHE SAID THE MOST VIOLENT COUNTRIES AREN'T AT WAR WHEN THEY ACTUALLY ARE. LOOK ON THE US TRAVEL ADVISORY LIST AND ON THE 'CRIME' TABS WHICH IS WHAT I PRESUME SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. NEARLY ALL THE WORST COUNTRIES FOR CRIME ARE..........
0:44 Well, the size of the puplation is a kind of an important factor here. Brazil has 11 times more people than Syria. In 2015 when half a million Syrians were killed that is 3% of its people.
You are right on the facts: Brazil: 64,000/200 million people = 0.00032
Syria: 34,000/19 million people = 0.0017
Nonetheless, this doesn't negate the fact that Brazil had twice the amount of people killed...I understand why from an objective standpoint what you're saying matters; however, the context here is irrelevant to her point--which is to shock the average person watching this by revealing a mismatch between deaths in a country at war and deaths in country that's not at war, ya know? Sort of like using a city like Chicago's murder rate vs some city in let's say Somalia (or insert any other country that's known to be very violent) and showing how there are more murders in Chicago despite the fact that it is located in a first world country...then someone like you pointing at how Chicago has millions of resident compared to again insert random violent city from a 3rd world country...you would be missing the point because it wasn't a claim on which one is objectively a more violent city (country in the case in point) but rather a provocative claim merely done for its shock value-- ya know?
@@mlnyonasi THAT I WOULD ARGUE IS THE PROBLEM, SHE'S BOTH SENSATIONALIZING THE ISSUE AND SLANDERING RELATIVELY SAFE PLACES WITH THEIR COMPARATIVELY PRISTINE STATISTICS FOR NO REASON. IT'S NOT BEFITTING OF SOMEONE WHO (SUPPOSEDLY) IS A SCHOLAR. THE TALK ALSO HAD OTHER WEIRD COMPARISONS.
@@SquareFeatures I understand why that ticks you off, but the fact is, she didn't lie or misrepresent the facts. I think her examples that you find problematic were relevant and justifiably used in order to paint a broader picture of violence at the international level. I will say that her aspirational proposition towards 'a path to security for the world's deadliest countries' is somewhat weak and naïve. Nonetheless, I applaud her for pushing the conversations and laying down some possible routes. As for your critique, while sensible, I think it's a cheap shot.
Trust me when I say violence is skyrocketing in a modernized city like Hong Kong. Witnessing police brutality in which they bear no consequences, the past year has been the most apprehensive and shaky time among HKers. The gov delegates power to the gangs, citizens risk our lives everyday just to fight for basic human rights. If you may spend some time to check on our revolution, be genuinely blessed on what you have and pray for the less fortunate.
She is just choosing the most famous or common countries! Forgot about Honduras lady? Study that country and you will have different results
A typical example of fighting consequences, instead of eradicating the causes.
Yes, she never mentioned education and good policing.
This lady's awesome 👏🏼🙌🏼
"This lady is awesome."
Agreed.
great woman very smart
But Iraqi population is 39 million while Mexico 129 million!!
Genius
Doesn't matter because it doesn't fit her perspective :)
I'm a Brazilian, I live in a city with a little more than 1 million inhabitants that is on the quoted list of the 50 most violent cities in the world. My father is a policeman, a month ago, he and his partner were activated to save the passengers of a bus who were being robbed by 4 bandits. This kind of thing is common here. The average
brazilian family does not have a gun to defend themselves, last year we managed to decrease the number of murders from 57.000 to about 45.000, the credits go to our new president and the minister of justice.
I'm Brazilian too. Bolsonaro's politics on violence are exactly the opposite of what she said. He boasts on the idea that a good bandit is a dead bandit. Many specialists say that the decrease of violent crimes is not a result of Bolsonaro's politics because first: violence has been decreasing since Temer's administration, due to cumulative factors; and second: good policy against violence takes a long time to produce good results, it is still too early. Do you know what is still going strong under Bolsonaro's presidency? The assassination of poor marginalized black folks, the assassination and rape of women, the assassination of indigenous leaders, the assassination of transgender people, the assassination of the environment shall we not forget. And lastly, guns are never the solution to violence, never. Every single study on owning guns show that, they do not decrease violence, they do not increase safety, they only produce a more violent and tense social context.
@Mr. Common sense you can visit us. It's not the monster you might be thinking it is. There are violent areas, yes. But in most parts of the country you would have a nice time.
TO BE FAIR, NONE OF THE 50 MOST VIOLENT CITIES IN THE WORLD ARE IN BRAZIL.
This is why Equally of law is more important then Emotions of law.
The Obama/professor speech style is too practiced, but the data speaks for itself.

"When the police are paid more than teachers, you are living in a police state" Karl Max. ..
Let’s push governments to upgrade schools standards in less privileged neighborhoods and promote equal opportunity for all. Kids with no hope are psychopaths’ easy recruits.
Prince KAMBALE
1. It’s the police’s job to risk their lives, that’s why they’re paid more
2. Karl Marx co-created communism, quoting him hurts your argument if anything
If you are a working adult and you admire Marx you and I have a problem.
@@drewsaluk6860 I am not a communist, I also do not support extreme capitalistism. I like to keep a balance. Use the best ideas from either side. No system is perfect. Karl Max had some good ideas.. Just like trump is not totally wrong on everything..
Prince KAMBALE
As someone who has an extremely negative opinion on Marx, please inform me, what were some of his good ideas?
There are few ways in which you can have a functioning state. Once there’s corruption at a state level, then there is no way to have a functioning state.
Pro that, but it needs much more than that. Generally inequality has to become unfeasible. Repressing violence despite inequality is just the way to dictatorship, possibly with extra steps.
The name of the mayor she mentioned is Antanas Mockus. with a separately voiced "c".
I would bet that the reporting in some of the violent places is so poor that the data are not accurate.
Damn she described the Philippines perfectly.
WORLD PEACE 💙💙💙
I can directly relate to Delhi violence in India going on currently
Violence is common where lives are cheap. Same as it's always been. Forever
This sounds like Odessa, Texas
I would like to give a TED talk, how would I do that?
Robert Villescas definitely not through the UA-cam comment section. Go on the website and inform yourself
You would need groundbreaking brain replacement surgery.
@@WhyDoIPlayGolf Not exactly! I'm not a bad public speaker! I also feel like I have a message to give with a God given talent!
@@TheOfficialRolex you dont apply, pretty sure they invite people to speak
The situation in Brazil are so complicated, social inequalities, corruption, bad education...... the most people who die in Brazil are poor people and Black people, is really sad :(
This is a very good and compelling TED Talk. Violence is a major social issue that has to be treated and dealt with responsibly. However, I do think some aspects of the Talk were in need of further development or were a little misleading... When she talks about inequality, for example, I think it's always important to remeber the big historical picture of slavery, colonialism, imperialism, savage capitalism, institutional racism, etc, which enables us to understand the inequalities between countries, that is to say: "first-world" countries, the imperialists, exploring and marginalizing the rest of the world, creating social spaces deprived from resources, justice and autonomy, that is to say: social spaces where violence grows easily. Also, the way she addresses right wing and left wing politics, like they were both "partisanships" to overcome, sounds a little bit off in my opinion... Just recognizing the devastating effects of inequality is enough to put this Talk on the left espectrum. It is the right, not the left, that defends the big corporations and elites responsible for maintaining such devastating inequalities. Therefore, violence isn't just a problem of bad politics and people not caring enough, it is a problem of capitalism, because those things themselves are a problem of capitalism.
Did I miss it, or did she not even condemn the war on drugs and name fatherless homes as the majority cause of violence that passes down through generations?
Remy Lebeau Study the reason why that is. Don’t just mention the symptom, but the root cause of the problem. Why are there fatherless homes? What policies have led to that result? That should be the question people should be asking.
@Rebecca Leeman and just plan stupid
we have to fight with corruption
Itzel H fight against corruption, para que no se preste a malas interpretaciones 🙂
More focus and funding needs to go towards early childhood education. And schools. And activities for kids and teens. I mean, is this nature vs nurture? Which is it do ya think?
Wow she pretty
Mr Chains I knew someone was going to comment on her looks. Yeah she’s cute.😄
The only reason that i open my ears
Nice one!
What about honduras?
Also money is laundeed through Hollywood Films in some cases.
That really informative thank you so much TED to Share with us.
In law, medicine, and statistics, cause of death is an official determination of conditions resulting in a human's death, which may be recorded on a death certificate. A cause of death is determined by a medical examiner
Miss Kleinfeld should learn about game theory

Oh.. Argentina.
Excelent
Thank You!.. - great introduction🌟👍 - The part about "good politicians" - is the one I've loved most of all... - Politicians are not sent to us from somewhere in space(( - They all are coming 'from the people'... - and people are still very different... - The diversity's good... But it doesn't help to have the most... Virtue🤷♀️🤷♀️(very hard to find a proper meaning in a foreign language((.. - for politics...
Maybe, it is so, because of today we need to check out the purposes and the meanings of the subject.. - what is it - that, why we need politics 'today' /'tomorrow'... Can we have global politics? - or if not, then what are the main targets of national-states politics - ?...
Tatiyana I’m following your train of thought and it is moving in the right direction :)
@@vincentflores6134 - Thank You very much 😊 - I'm really very interested in looking for the "right direction" - 🌟✌
Brazil: 64,000/200 million people = 0.00032

What would you do without freedom?
"Freedom" in a country with a low average IQ is non existent; a low IQ comes with a laundry list of negative traits it inflicts on society, and right at the top of the list, in terms of its negative impact, is an increase in violence and predatory aggression. A farmer has just had his genitals mutilated in yet another farm attack in the "rainbow nation." The world turns a blind eye!
@Dead Archer plus at least a sexy woman nearby
She lowkey bad
Make weapons easily accessible in your country is a great idea against violence.
Incorrect.
Only if you define violence committed by legal weapons is not violence.
@@Glimmlampe1982 haha if no one can easily have weapons nobody needs to defend themselves against them. So maybe we can both agree that gun violence can only be diminished if people do not have access to guns.
Possession of guns is quite restricted in Brasil. Yet violence is rampant here. Laws simply have no effect when the government/society loses control over the situation.
@@juliuseller2486 I feel very sorry for you. There are probably a lot of stupid people around you to make you think this isn't sarcasm
It seems US imperialism is the common denominator in both war and organized crime.
shes bright but mainly a left activist.
Bad statistics, bias, and agenda instead of thorough analysis. Late TED as usual.
genios
Is she talking about USA?
This def. Is not off the top of her head..SHE KEEPS LOOKING UP AT SOME SORT OF QUE OR PROMPTER.
Listen to some of her subtle comments that expose her motive to give this speech.
Austin LOVES LIBERTY did anyone say it’s off the top of her head? Ted talks are never spontaneous
Dude, everyone looks at a prompter during TED talks.
Have you ever held a fifteen minute presentation in front of a large audience?
In the right hand is a ?.We will never know. So throwing money at it won't work caring sorta works ...
@endurogrip xr650r I will relay message to President Trump. K
@endurogrip xr650r How about the people who take the working people's wealth and giving it to other Countries so they in power can flaunt it ..So nice of them isn't it...Nothing anyone can do about it tho we will let it be known.
Doubt all CEOs read this much
look to iceland
Iceland only succeeds cause the population is so tiny and they have natural resources like fish and renewable energy. They don't have underprivileged areas because their community is so small. Not trying to undermine because Scandinavian countries should be used as an example, just I think Iceland itself is a special case
the common denominator... 13/50?

Hi god
False information
One of the most disappointing TED talks I’ve seen.
Why?
You’re an idiot.
Does anyone ever consider we just have too many humans?
No. We simply have too many Politicians.

I believe in Thanos😂😂😂
step away from religion
Agree does anybody think that this country most violent are most religious people.
Agree does anybody think that this country most violent are most religious people.
@@juliocasim4330 that's a demonstrable fact. The more religious a country is the more violent it is
eatthisvr6 you are right the country less religion or nonreligious are less or 0 crime like Iceland,Netherland,Denmark,Czech Republic.

If she has a serious message, why not dress appropriately?
A woman who looks like a tomboy in a form-fitting, attention-seeking skirt, lets start withOUT that!
Appropriately? What are you prude? Lol she has a dress on that covers her knees.
I can’t believe you don’t see what I see. She is talking about violence and death, yet she’s concerned about spreading her legs 1 foot apart during her speech in stiletto heals! She is very manipulative and uninhibited. That is not even her real voice. She seems liked she’d rather do the presentation naked!
@@Diogenes-IIregarding your last sentence ... i would preferer that xD
Maybe cops should be required to live in the neighborhoods they are assigned to
Also, train them better
Let's also make therapy as normal as physical checkups
And can we fund education before we fund police thanks
Gaasuba Meskhenet
Police training is already rigorous, the normality of physical checkups depends on the person IE the normality of seeing a therapist depends on the person, police protect everyone so hindering their funding hinders their ability to protect the general population
Allowing them to live in their assigned areas would only increase the chances that they also get involved in crime.
Is this your god plan also?
Lady's forgetting that violence is big business: contacts, and profits.
Duh.
No amount of lest-we-forgets patronage will do anything.
Thank You for sharing, That was very informative great talk. I believe If we start supporting term limits, that would be a good start. Go Trump 2020
Marxist BS.
