When a gang lord told novelist Ryan Gattis to cut to the chase, he did. Surprising to the Chapman University professor was that the command was also a gift that released his creativity and helped guide him to the completion of his acclaimed novel about the Los Angeles riots of 1992, All Involved: A Novel of the 1992 L.A. Riots.
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)
Gattis is also the author of novels Kung Fu High School and Roo Kickkick
«Were half as empathetic as the generation before us… and I don’t know if we care.» That’s the issue Ari Saperstein explores in his talk about the “empathy deficit.” Saperstein examines the impact of social media and technology on emotional intelligence and human behavior. In telling his own story about hurt and forgiveness that spans a decade, he illustrates the importance of empathy.
Ari Saperstein (Pitzer College 15) is one of two winners of the 2015 TEDxClaremontColleges Student Speaker Competition, earning him a spot at the 2015 TEDx conference. Previously, he attended the Edmund Burke School in Washington D.C. and the Iowa Young Writers Workshop.

تحكي لنا آمال قصتها مع صراعها الذاتي التي بدأت منذ 2006 حيث اكتشفت حينها بأن رغباتها كثيرة ومتعددة خلاف بقية الأطفال، وذكرت بأن زيارتها لجامعة دار الحكمة في المرحلة الثانوية كانت بمثابة رحلة استكشاف لذاتها استطاعت من خلالها تحديد تخصصها الجامعي. وأخيرًا وضّحت لنا آمال بأنها قررت مُصاحبة صوتها الداخلي، حيث كان أعلى ارتفاعاً من بقية الأصوات التي حولها محاولاً بذلك التخفيف من شدّة الاحباط الذي أصابها، وأشارت بأنه كان بمثابة الدليل الواضح لها في كثير من الأحيان وهو الذي أوصلها إلى ما هي عليه الآن.
