El poder de la indignación | Judit Arenas | TEDxJuriquilla

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. El mundo se enfrenta a retos sin precedente: hambruna, conflicto, mortalidad infantil, pobreza extrema. Esto produce indignación, un gran enfado. Pero la pregunta crítica es ¿Qué hacer con esta indignación? Indignarse no es suficiente, hay que tomar acción para que esto resulte en un cambio positivo. El Holocausto, los genocidios en Camboya y Ruanda y las violaciones masivas de derechos humanos en los Balcanes se realizaron antes de la llegada del internet. Ahora la conectividad tecnológica proporciona una gran herramienta para realizar acción colectiva. Pero darle “like” a una página de internet o compartir un correo electrónico no es suficiente. En estos momentos de reto y falta de liderazgo las soluciones a los problemas vienen de una visión de responsabilidad individual que se multiplica y se convierte en cambio colectivo en el momento en el que cada quien contribuye de su parte. Estas acciones individuales pueden ser desde actos de amabilidad, actos que mejoren el entorno personal o de la comunidad o actos que tengan mayor resonancia. Pero todo radica en poder responder ¿Cuál va a ser tu granito de arena? ¿Hoy, como vas a mejorar el mundo? ¿En qué acción se va a convertir tu indignación ?

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
