I can write a summary about the video ''My story, from gangland to star teacher''

My story, from gangland to star teacher (video)


In My story, from gangland to star teacher, the speaker tell us her own experience about how she had to deal with all the problems she lived in order to be the person and the teacher she wanted. She says that she his father, as almost every man in her neighborhood, was a gangster, and because of that, she got a lot of problems during her childhood. These problems make her realize about what she wanted to do. She discovered that she was decided to change the educational system, so she struggle really hard to become a teacher. When she achieved her goal, she talked with other teachers that were interested in improving the way the students learn, so she could establish the educational center she wanted.  She concluded her speech pointing out that we have to personalize the educational system in order to get involved all the students and improve the way they learn.

I can write a summary about the video ''How to live to be 100''

How to live to be 100 (Video)




In this video, the speaker Dan Buettner points out the explanation of how the people who live longer than one hundred years achieve this important goal for many people.
He mentions that there are specific points of the world where the people can be older than one hundred years and still be healthy. He say that living that long depends 10% on our genes and the other 90% on the way we live. In other words, if you are a responsible person who takes care of your health and your habits, you can live longer than a normal person.
He tells us about the food that these lucky people eat. Furthermore, these people don't retire totally; in fact, they have an "ikkigai" which is the reason why they are still living. In addition, these centenaries are treated like admirable heroes, so they feel they are really important for others, which triggers many positive reactions on them.

I can write my opinion about the top 10 most intelligent animals


In this video we can see that there are a lot of animals that show their intelligence in different ways.
These animals are using their advanced perceptual abilities, but also they are moving into the realm of true cognition. For me, the best example you can find is the amazing ability of chimpanzees that let them develop different kinds of tools that make their lives easier. This capacity was the most important on humans in order to develop our society.
But chimpanzees are not the only animal specie that find out new ways to facilitate their lives. As the video showed us, crows are able to figure out different technics to get what they want. An other animal that called my attention was the dolphin, which is a smart being that is concerned of itself and it's able to find funny ways to make itself happy. As these animals have a certain type of intelligence, I'm pretty sure that humans are not the only specie that is smart.

I can write a summary of the video ''The intelligence of corws'' and my reaction to it

Video


Joshua Klein is a speaker that shows us how fascinating crows can be and that these animals are not just a plague that we should exterminate, but they are really intelligent animals which are able to solve different hard situations in order to survive. Joshua Klein had spent more than 10 years of his life studying these animals and trying to find a symbiotic relation between this smart specie and humans. He showed a video where we could see a crow trying to get something just with a wire. At the end of this video, the crow figured out how can it do it. He also pointed out these animals have a good memory. Then he showed an other video which demonstrate how a crow figured out a way to smash a nut by dropping it on the street and when was the correct moment to pick up the food. At the end, Joshua explained an experiment which test the intelligence of the crows by using a vending machine.

I got completely surprised to see how smart a crow can be, because this video show me that not only humans are able to think and find smart ways to solve the problems we faced, but also there are different species with great capacities and the enough intelligence to achieve their objectives. For this reason, I think that the speech that Joshua Klein gave us is a masterpiece that makes us think about looking out towards better ways to coexist with our fellow creatures than taking the lazy way out and getting rid of them. 

I can write about what role genes can play in medicine

As everybody knows, a gene is the basic physical unit of heredity, stored on twisting strands in every cell of every living being, but most people don't know the real importance of this single unit of genetic information. With a deep research in this field, scientists are able to use the knowledge that they have acquired in order to improve and implement different sciences. We can said that the most benefited is Medicine because the right use of that knowledge will improve health conditions, not only in humans, but also in all the living beings. At the beginning, medical genetics was concerned with certain single gene or chromosomal disorders, but with the sequencing of the Human Genome, genetics has become the driving force in medical research and now is poised for integration into medical practice. In others words, the study of our genes can help us to find certain diseases that we are prone to suffer, so we would be able to prevent it.

I can write about obstacles I had faced in my life and how I tried to overcome them

I consider I am an intelligent guy with many skills and capacities that make me stand out, but I remember when I was in high school, there was a smart guy who used to think that all the students in our class weren't intelligent. When he got the first place in the class, he told me that anybody would be able to be better than him. That comment made me feel upset and I decided to be the first place of our class in order to demonstrate that he was wrong and with a lot of effort and persistance, you can do whatever you want. After a few weeks, everybody in the class noticed that my intelligence was emerging quickly. At the end of the month, I became the first place of the class, but I realized the main point is not to be better than others, you just need to be better than the person you were the day before.
