ReplyDelete1) I learned from watching the TED talk that you are never to young to try to make a change and when you want something in life try your hardest. When you put effort and time and hard work even though its going to be tough it will pay off at the end and you will succeed. Natalie Warne put a lot of money and time into doing what she wanted. Going nights without sleep because your just focused on what you want and you don't want to stop until you reach that point.
2) My Definition of Activism now that i watched Natalie Warne video is do whatever it takes for what you believe in. Don't give up keep trying even if it doesn't turn out to be good a few times. If you keep trying and trying harder each time some day it will work. Activism you have to be a strong and powerful person. powerful speaker to get what you want in life.
1)What I learned from watching the video is that were not too young to go for anything, no matter how old we are it would be worth it.Watching the video makes me think that I could go for anything its just Hard work and Dedication.
ReplyDelete2)My definition of Activism based on what I heard from Natalie Warne is to fight against something on what ever I believe in. She teaches me to keep on going and never quit.

ReplyDeleteI learned from watching this TED talk that you are never too young to make things happen. If you really want to do something, you have to do everything you can to make it happen. If you chase after it youll get it.

ReplyDelete1. There were several things you could learn from Natalie's presentation on TED talk. However, for me the most significant thing i took in was that if you have a real passion or love for something, nobody can tell you you can't do it until you try and find out for yourself.
2. Based off of Natalie's speech i would say the definition of an activist is someone who strives to bring their cause to light and rally the support him/her needs to bring about a positive change towards what they believe is right.
1. I learned from the video that you don't have to be old to make a big change and you can really achieve something when you put your mind to it.
ReplyDelete2. A person who wants something to happen and does whatever he or she can do to get it

rohan clarke What I learned from Natalie Warne is that no matter how bad your a past was and how young or old you are you still can make a impact if you just stand up for what you believe in.

ReplyDelete1) I learned from watching TED that despite your age you can make a major change in this world if you put your mind to it .No matter how tough it may get if you have a dream you can achieve it if you keep your head held high & stay focused until you reach your goal and more !
2) Based on what i heard from Natalie Warne my definition of activism is a person who works hard to bring positivity to a cause they believe in .Even when all odds are against them they stand tall & fight until their voice is heard .Natalie taught me that is not about the "Glits & Glamour" of achieving your goal its about the hard work put in to make a change & how it affects others .

ReplyDelete- What i learned from this is that your never too young to fight for what you believe in natille was bi-racial but she never chose a side, she thought of everyone as being equal. When she was just 18 she helped the invisible children cause and made a big change in the world.
-My defination of activsm from watching this is someone who is willing to go all out just to do the right thing & stand up for what they believe in. natile left college just to do this most people would think shes crazy but she accomplished her goals and made a change.
1. From the TED video I learned that your age doesn't matter, you can still accomplish great things in life, things that you might even think are impossible.
ReplyDelete2. Based on this video, activism means working on/accomplishing something that you are very passionate about.

ReplyDelete1. From watching this TED talk, I learned that as a young person in this generation I HAVE to help reach out and help others. There is so many issues in today's society, and if the young generation does nothing we'll just go down hill. Also you fight for what you want, especially young people. You only live once, so what are you going to go with that time in you life...Im going to help others and reach my goals.
2. Based on Natalie Warne, Activism is a movement (large or samll) done by a person or group to help others. They will proceed until they reach their goals by any means necessary
i learned fight for what you believe in
ReplyDeleteActivism is doing the right thing
Calvin Munroe
ReplyDelete1. After watching "TED talk" , I learned that no matter your age you can make a difference. Us as young people need to help our peers to succeed in life. Don't let anybody you can't do this or that. We all need to strive or better things in life and fight for what we know is right.
2. My definition of activism is a person who fights for what they believe is right
Nicole Moore
ReplyDelete1)" It is the acts that makes the person extraordinary not the Oprah moments" I learned
that reguardless of age, you should stand up for what you believe in. When you really believe in something, you fight to advocate your stance no matter what. No matter how long it takes or how hard it is to get people to listen, you wont stop because if it really means that much to you, whatever activist movement your doing becomes a priority and less of a duty.
2) Before i saw this video, i believed that activism is standing up and speaking up for what you believe in. Activist are brave and bold individuals with a passion for what they do. My belief didnt really change after watching the video. Natalie is a total activist !
I learned that it doesn't matter how old you are you can still help change the world. I also learned that their are stepping stones in reaching your goal and jetting celebrities is not the greatest accomplishment but achieving your goal. What u became an activist for.
ReplyDeleteI believe that an activist is someone who fight for what they believe until they have accomplished it.
1. Watching this TED shows that it doesnt matter your age anyone can change the world. what your fighting for becomes a priority
ReplyDelete2.an activist is a person that will fight for what they believe in & will always fight until when it is and after it is reached. regardless of any others opinions
Jennifer Chen
ReplyDeleteWatching this video shows that no matter what age you are, you can still make a difference in the world.
Activism is standing up for what you believe in, and go for your goals on making a difference.
Janelle Castro
ReplyDelete1) From watching this TED talk I learned that no matter how old you are or where your from it does not limit you from making a change. This video taught me that theres always someone in this world doing worse than you and it only takes one person to make a change. Age is just a number and when it comes to a passion it doesn't matter how old or young you are. When something going on in this world or even in your city is happening and you don't approve of it, say something. Your voice can be heard and some people may be scared to speak up but when they're not alone it becomes a lot easier to stand up for what you believe in.It also taught me that no matter where in the world you are you can still help others who may not be able to help themselves.
2)After hearing Natalie my definition of an activist kind of changed. Before I use to think it was the leader of the group but now I see thats not true. Whether you're the main person giving speeches or you're just someone in the crowd holding a sign, I believe they are all activist. An activist is someone who simply makes an attempt for change in any means necessary,it is all the people involved. Activist are people with passion for change.

ReplyDelete1. Watching TED showed me anyone can make a difference at any age and stand up for your rights no matter if the odds are against you .

Mathusan Jeyabalan
ReplyDelete1. Watching TED showed me that anyone, doesn't matter how old, you can be 10 years old and you can change the world. You can make a difference and you let people follow your footsteps. I learned that you can make a change and stand up for what you believe in.
2. What activism means to me based on Natalie Warne is that you can be the one standing out of the crowd and changing the world or bring a huge impact. What I thought activism was someone fighting for their rights which is correct but, also to be leader and make others follow your footsteps and the right footsteps to make a change.
Bryan Babu
ReplyDelete1) After watching this TED talk, I learned that no matter who you are, you can always make a difference if you put dedication and hard work into it. By doing so, you can achieve anything.
2)My definition of activism based on what I heard from Natalie Warne is putting work into a movement that you believe in and making a change.
Basil Kuriakose
ReplyDelete1)I learned that if you put enough effort and dedication into a cause, nothing can stop you from doing it. It doesn't matter how old you, if you stand beside a matter that inspires you and you fight for it with all your effort, you will be able to achieve your goal and the change you made for the world is going to define you as a person.
2)Based on what i heard from Natalie Warne, i believe that Activism is when you stand up for a cause and you fight for it, and your mind is set to achieving the goal no matter what kind of sacrifices that you have to make.
Alexandra Boyd
ReplyDelete1. What I learned from watching this TED talk is basically, you can do absolutely anything if you put all your might and mind to it. If you have a sole purpose to go on and do what you feel is right and you have the willpower and perseverance then your outcome should be a great one. You don't need any famous figure or anything to help you. It would be nice to get a head start with one but you can get things started on your own.
2. My definition of activism based on what I heard from Natalie Warne is going out and fighting for what you believe is right in your opinion, protesting until your voice is heard, and knowing what you're doing and having all your data correct.
Jonathan Jerome
ReplyDelete1) I learned that if you want something,fight for it.You'll have trials and tribulations but in the end ,It'll all be worth it.Not too underestimate yourself because of age,anyone and everyone can help and fight for what they believe in.
2)Activism is fighting for something you believe in and sticking with it.I've also learned too stay persistent and not too give up.Whatever you put your mind and effort into,you can achieve.
Michael O'Leary
ReplyDelete1. From watching TED talk I have learned that no matter what you do, you can keep on pushing towards your goal and eventually you will triumph. Natalie put off college to try and help the people that were being affected by invisible children and Joseph Kony.
2. From listening to Natalie, i think anm activist is someone who puts their own needs and wants aside to make a change for the better.
I learned from this video that it doesn't matter your age, race, e.t.c you can fight for something you believe in. Natalie fought for the children in the war in Africa because she thought it was unfair that they were young kids being kidnapped and forced to kill people including siblings and/or parents .
ReplyDeleteMy definition of activism is fighting for your freedom.
Activism can also mean that you fight for what you think is right or wrong.

Harley Ryan
ReplyDelete1) From watching this TED talk I learned that no matter how old you are you can make a difference. That through dedication and hard work you can achieve what you feel is right. It also helped me to better understand one individual can make a difference.
2) Activism based on what Natalie Warne said is that if you stand up for what you believe is right then you can accomlish it. No matter how old you are, everyone has the option to make a difference.
1.What i learn from watching this TED talk is if you want to make a difference about something you do it. You do whatever it takes you to make a difference putting your mind and soul to it. When making a petition or doing campaign you can make HUGE change in the world.Put your head to it and you can be amazed of how much you, yourself can make difference.
ReplyDelete2.My definition of activism based on what i heard from Natalie Warne is you fight for what you believe. Do what you think is right and your opinion might make a HUGE change.
-Alexandria R. Kishore
1. From watching this video ive learned that you can always fight for what you believe in , it doesn't matter what age you are . Even if you feel like no one is there with you someone is and anyone can make a change or difference in this world . Even the little thing you do to make a change .
ReplyDelete2. Activism is when you fight for what you believe in , or when you start up a sort of movement to help change a cause that you believe you can make a difference in .
-Allea Green
1. From watching this TED talk I learned that fighting & standing up for what you believe in actually makes a difference. No mater what age, color or sex you are changes can be made & voices can be heard. Letting one person hear leads to another and the unfortunately MANY others getting your point across.
ReplyDelete2. My definition of activism based on what I heard from Natalie Warne was, fighting for what you believe in or beginning a movement many changes can be made, especially with the support from the youth.
Malike Richards
ReplyDelete1)From watching this TED talk ive learned that you can make a difference no matter your age,race,etc.As long as you have drive anything and everything is possible.People can always say they want to make a change they want to be heard but in the end never really go throught with doing it.This is because they didnt have the passion they didnt have the drive.I think this video really teaches people to run for what they love and to never give up because thats what you believe in,thats what makes you who you are.No one can define you but you.This really inspires people to have more confidence in who they are and what they stand for.To have a bigger heart and to make an even bigger change.Its takes courage to stand outside the crowd and be different and say this is what i stand for and this is what i want.
2)My definition of activism is never letting anyone tell you no.If thats what you believe in fight for it.Dont let anyone bring you down.Stay strong no matter how many problems you may face while trying to reach your goal.Never give up.

ReplyDelete1) From this TED talk I learned that you can make a difference no matter how old you are, once you set your mind to something you can achive it. Nothing should stop from doing what you think is write. You should stand up for what you beieve in. Age is just a number, it doesn't affect your effect on people.

ReplyDelete2. Activism is to achieve a goal with hard work and effort no matter how challenging the task is.
-Dondre McLaughlin
1. i learned it only takes one person to make a change having to do with a really bad situation.
ReplyDelete2. activism means helping others that have also gone threw a bad situation as yourself, or a worst situation because in a way u know how they feel.
1) i learned from watching this video that if you are devoted to the cause you will be able to successed no matter how old you are.
ReplyDelete2)activism to natalie warne means that if you truly wwant to succsed you will.

Christal Harroo
ReplyDelete1)After watching TED I have learned that a dream can come true.After Nathalie watched the video she got motivated and decided to take action.I did not really think she would be successful because she is just a random young girl with a goal.But I learned that hard work, dedication and effort is the key.It makes me believe that I can change the world just like she did.
2)After what ive heard from Natalie Wayne's speech Activism means making an issue come from the dark to the light.It basically means making a change and being positive and having the right attitude.It also means taking control and making a difference.
1) After watching the TED I learn if you stand up for what you believe in you will be able to make a huge difference in the world in we live in.

1. I learned from watching the TED video that whatever you do, dont stop trying. It doesn't matter how young you are if you want to make a change then do your best to try to make that happen.
ReplyDelete2. I think that it means if you strongly believe in something then you shouldn't just sit around and let the moment of you making a difference pass you. You should try to make that difference. You should keep working hard at it so you will eventually accomplish it.
