Start making your own choices | Roos Vonk | TEDxMaastricht

We are autonomous individuals assumed to be competent to make their own choices. Sometimes our freedom of choice is threatened – for instance when politicians propose to raise the age at which we can retire or to put windmills in our back yard. Similar, when idealists suggest we should introduce a meat tax and incorporate the true societal costs of food and consumer goods into the retail price, this potentially affects our possible choices. Whenever this happens, we revolt: it would restrict our freedom and the privileges we have acquired. But “How free are your choices really?” Roos Vonk is a professor of social psychology at Radboud University Nijmegen, a published author of several bestseller books, columnist, coach, and educator. In addition, she is dedicated to improving animal welfare and sustainability. She is not afraid to speak up for what she believes in, even if this has gotten her into trouble on a few occasions. Roos is an idealist, independent and freethinking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
