Friday Night Films: Screenings that Spark Conversation – TedTalks for DiscussionTotal Run Time: 61 min
The Danger of a Single Story by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2009)
(Run Time 18:32)
Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.
Love, No Matter What by Andrew Solomon (2013)
(Run Time: 23:13)
What is it like to raise a child who's different from you in some fundamental way (like a prodigy, or a differently abled kid, or a criminal)? In this quietly moving talk, writer Andrew Solomon shares what he learned from talking to dozens of parents -- asking them: What's the line between unconditional love and unconditional acceptance?
The Power of Vulnerability by Brene Brown (2010)
(Run Time: 20:02)
Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.
