Empatia para Cambiar al Mundo – Empathy to Change the World | Andrea Fernandez | TEDxQuitoJoven


the world in which we live

we live in a world full of violence

a world full of intolerance

we live in a world full of

discrimination in a world where the

different word has become synonymous

for error it has become synonymous for

something bad where being different is not

get nothing more than obvious where if

you are different you do not have friends where yes

it’s different they do not have a place in the

society

I think it’s different, it ‘s the only

be unique

is what makes the world flow be

unique is what makes us each

different and that is what makes them arise

new ideas like those that have spoken the

today is no longer strange to hear that there was

another attack in Syria is no longer unusual

hear that a lot more people are

dying on a daily basis is something that

children of today are growing and

they think it ‘s normal and me and everyone

we know that it is not normal that

hundreds of people who previously performed

daily it’s no longer strange to hear that

there was another fight at school because the

children did not think the same one of the

greater examples of violence than the

world today is Syrian Syria goes on

war over six years around

six years

it is estimated that the population of Syria

original of 22 million people

it is estimated that half of that are either

dead or have fled their country had

to flee the country because of the situation in the

who live

they live a terrible situation bombing

everyday people dying in the streets their

family members dying to their parents

arms

I imagine that it would happen that for what

would you do if something like that would happen here

in Ecuador

I do not think we think about what

it happens in Syria because it’s a problem

far away because it’s not happening here

but what happens if we put ourselves in the

people’s shoes from there the people that

dies daily are people like you or me

although with families with dreams are

grandparents cousins ​​who are being

terrified unjustly and have not

done nothing is not such a distant problem

like the one we believe here behind me

We can see

hotels hatred that promotes hatred

to the different especially to the

homosexuals to Muslims to the

Arabs you can see how the people

try to promote that all this is bad

because it’s bad that someone likes

someone of the same gender because he is bad

that someone follow their religion and what

believe

I have never seen anyone discriminate against

someone for using a cross but still

when someone used a burqa the

they discriminate and do not give the same

opportunities that the rest of people here

in the pictures on this side here we can

see people crying

these photos were taken in states

united in the united states one of their

biggest problems are the shootings in the

school shootings in schools that

come because of the bullying

and because bullying is important in

bullying is an act of hatred the tribe

lines an act of a person who thinks

which is superior to the rest and can do

what you want and this does not lead to anything

well now even the schools are a

safe place and much less

concerts as it happened in Manchester the

big ana concert one goes to a

concert with his family with his friends

to have fun dancing to be there in the

present moment

watching his idol and just in the moment

more unexpected a bomb and die more than

22 people and 57 injured and nowhere

in this world it is safe to be and that

it’s worrying because it could scale

something much bigger

also the shooting in Orlando at the bar

gay because because a person is

it happened that it is not normal did not seem

cool that someone who to people

they like or same – sex and

he went and killed a lot of people

this is a clear act of hate and

violence intolerance

this is an act that demonstrates what

we are also evolving in full

21st century in indonesia

As you can see in the image there

a man dressed in black arriving at a

Man dressed in white in indonesia

it is believed that homosexuality is a

mental illness a mental illness

because you like someone they try to cure

the mental illness hitting him with for

the names the same opportunities

discriminating them in the streets or in the

sign that the image is presented behind

says marriage is a man with a

woman

please i need help with this god

they are using the name of god for

promote hatred to promote the

equality to promote these acts of

violence

how can you see Kate behind me and three

guys who were violently attacked

in the streets one by holding hands to her

couple in public

the other to hug him and the other so

just because they knew he was gay and that’s why

I’m here for me it’s worrying the

world situation and I believe that someday

get here and these are just a few

of the examples from around the world

we also have the attack in paris who

he does not remember when everyone put his

photo on facebook with the flag of

france or the attack in sweden makes a

week in portland usa

two men died and one is in the

hospital for defending two women

Arabs in a train

these women were wearing their burkas

quietly and a man started to

shout back to your country this month your

country come back from where they came as

they wait for them to come back from where they came from

in the country from which they come

people die daily as they expect

to return to a country that has reigned

for violence and hate and that ‘s what

that people do not understand and that’s why here

tell them the story of a refugee

Syria that I had the honor of knowing

two years ago in a camp in

austria it ‘s very different to listen

stories of the news or listen to it

from a third person like me who

listen to it face to face with the

person

this girl called baja was already a

refugee say since I was in austria

and she lived alone and osaka the rest refugees

who managed to escape the biggest challenge

that the refugee faces is not capable of

Syria

the biggest challenge is trying to try

adapt to a society where you do not

they accept them

in a society where they discriminate

is to try to make a new life of nava

reason told me how she lived in a

ruined building with his brother his

dad and about three other people and he told me

that they could not stand seeing so much blood

so many dead people in the streets see

so much violence so much hate and they decided

escape

He told me that he decided to escape at night

because during the day

snipers of the entire city

they can shoot them and kill them and the night

the odds are lower for

let them die

then he told me how they walked by

hours and hours until you reach a place

near the edge where they were near

border

He told me that they started listening

shots started listening to people

screaming and they started running and

They ran with everything they could

he told me like the adrenaline of wanting

escape to the forced to continue

running faster and once it arrived

to a safe place

he turned around and his brother and his dad already

they were not this is a super story

sad and as I said, we do not think about

our problems because we do not know

the people there do not know who they are

obvious we feel sorry that this is happening

but we do not think what I can do

what is the change that I can contribute

in the world

I remember that Albert Einstein once

He said I do not know what will fight the third

world war but I’m sure that the

Fourth World War will be appealed

compadre stones thrown

what does this mean the third war

world to end the world as

We know today we are

dangerously close to a third

world war and this scares me is already

very late to stop the wars

that are happening in the world is very

late to try to change the actions

of previous generations but

we can start with us we can

start defending a person who

is being harmed by small acts

of love we can start to change this

world because we are the

generation of change and if we are not the

generation of change then there will be no

another generation

Thank you

and
