2) Your one sentence max personal reactions to the video and/or why you chose the video to respond to (or 5+ descriptor words you’d tag the issue/presenter with)
3) (max = a few sentences) What are the implications/ripples of the knowledge presented in this video? Why does this video matter? Who does/should it matter to? ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS/REFLECTIONS CAN GO HERE AS DESIRED
4) (max = a few sentences) What counterclaims would be made against this video’s claims? Who would disagree with it and why might they disagree with it? Do opinions/interpretations that would disagree with this video have validity (if so, up to what point)? Are there any issues of bias in the speaker (or hidden agendas) on TED?
5) PLEASE work to show critical/philosophic reflection by stating at least two TOK-type knowledge questions the video raises (ex: Is mankind inherently moral? OR Is gender identity a social construction (or is it biological)?) [you can try to answer those questions if you want – not required]
