This is literally the BEST Ted Talk I have ever watched. I am a grad student in International Studies and I could not feel more inspired by the work of Jim Yong Kim in particular his work with Partners in Health. You all should check it out!
This is the best TED speech I have ever heard. I am so inspired by him as a public health major graduate student. That is exactly what I desire to do and that is how we should approach to the issues. I feel honored to share the same last name as him. I respect him so much. He is my inspiration. Thank you, doctor Kim.
It is wonderful how he climb the ladder with is ambition to help the poor. It evident that when we exhibit genuine concern and support for human needs, you would be called to serve. I hope our political leader would listen to him and build the ambition on such principal. It let give everyone the opportunity to serve.
My family came here about 1830. My great grandfather was a subsisance farmer. My grandfather was a cowboy and coal miner, and was dirt poor. He died when my dad was 11. My dad served an aprentiship as a boilermaker. Saved his monet throughout ww2 and bought a subsitance farm in Oregon. I finished high school and worked as a boilermaker, steel construction, draftsman and creamery worker. At age of 47 I started buying badly run down houses to rehab and resell. I have retired now with a good nest egg and over $100,000 /year retirement income. I have a good life. No government programs, welfare or subsidies enabled me. Opportunity and risk taking did. I am white. I have a high school education. I have eight kids, 22 grandchildren and 20+ great grandchildren. I have helped several with college costs. Some even pay off their student loans. They all have part time jobs whle in college and many scholarships. The right attitude, ambittion, and determination make the difference.
This is a rare talk on TED. He gave so many concrete examples to show real change--change that only the best humans strive for. Unfortunately, many other talks show too many generalities and far less passion and vision.
No, not everyone deserves the same opportunities. Life isn't like that and neither is nature. If you can logically think that then please tell how can we verify if everyone has the same opportunities.
Fano More This obsession with this perceived "nature" has always fascinated me. It's as if there is no doubt that nature contains some fundamental truth. Do you just ignore the fact that humana have the ability to construct a different truth, one that ascends beyond nature, and by doing so also constructing an idealistic framework in which everyone should have the same opportunities in our selfmade society? This choice is ours to make. Your so-called nature has no say in it. And I can find no logical arguments as to why nature must be "right" or why we should follow it in this case.
Fano More I think elements which are verifying us are personality and characteristic. In addition, students who study at the same school and live in the same environment dont choose the same jobs and career . What I mean is being in common opportunities dont prevent anyone from being different from others . Everyone makes choices which is relevant to their viewpoints and goals
If that opportunity were a job, then the only people who "deserve" that opportunity are those who work to be the most qualified for it. They put work into it, and deserve it far more than the homeless guy who was kicked out of his mother's basement after wasting all his chances at a better life.
Thank you for the great speech, Jim! I'm with you on the passion of helping the poor around the world. One day I'll definitely get involve in this organization or the likes. ❤️
I adored the middle and high school years with the Kim brothers , fabulous sense of humor and they were brats . We streaked Colony Drive , Jim had a key to the liquor cabinet and we owned the golf course after 2 am . So much fun and laughing the whole time . I feel extremely lucky to be his childhood friend .
I just read some of the comments. They talk about how everyone should only deserve to get what they work for. However in the poorest region where jobs are not available or at most low wage jobs, the possibility of them achieving a good living standard is frustratingly low. This talk is about how we have the same aspiratons, that we want to work hard towards our goal, but not everyone's outcome is the same. By helping the poorest, the amount of labour and skill that is unlocked will profit all of us. So what do you think?
ideas xiang one thing I've learned from years of working with people is that, money doesn't provide full satisfaction, if your a weiner, you'll find ways to complain ALWAYS , if you're a person of objectives you'll find your way out of poverty, it's about will and belief, equality of opportunity is dominant in the first world
OneMinuteFixed Many businesses get their start or thrive from loans - aka help or aid from others. If they didn't get those loans they either wouldn't have made it or would've taken much much longer to get on their feet. No, money doesn't provide full satisfaction but it can provide much needed aid if used properly and effectively. And that's just here in the US. It's much much worse in other parts of the world. You won't ALWAYS be able to find your way out of poverty no matter how much will you have. Something you won't truly understand here in America.
For those who simply write "Life is not fair, this is not how it works.." etc..please at least develop your attention span and mental capability to sit through the video and try to understand what he is proposing first, before attempting to sound smart..
What can be done about countries like my country Iran Which is not economically or culturally poor but politically and ideologically sir? ... one of the greatest TED talks I have seen in a while .. Thank Yuo
Can't wait to see the movie, I see it launched today 6 October 2017. Well done Jim Yong Kim, I love what you guys are about. #unitythroughdiversity #eradicatepoverty
Most people feel they deserve more than they'll ever produce. We literally have a system that numerically measures how much you contribute. If you think you deserve more than go start a business and earn it NOBODY is stopping you
Except being born in the other half countries in the world. That's stopping you. I know you're only trolling, which is sad in itself, but your privileged ignorance is painful to read.
If a society builds a greater standard of living for itself, it is NOT obligated to give it to others who have not done the same for its own society. Just because I work hard, and improve my house so that it is comfortable to live in doesn't mean that everyone else in my neighborhood is entitled to leave their run down homes and come live in my home. That would be unfair to me, because those people have taken advantage of my work without contributing to its initial construction. It is morally wrong to think those people are entitled to live in my home (whether a house or a country.)
slasher 4433 Did you listen to the TED Talk at all? He never said let these people from poor countries into the rich countries to mooch off the wealth. He talked about equal opportunity and the right to aspirations. I doubt you will go through as many obstacles as one person might go through due to being born in a certain country or be of a certain race or gender. This man is simply saying give them the fair tools to succeed. What they choose to do with them is up to themselves and it's no guarantee of success, but give them a fair chance. Are you against people given the same opportunity as you have? Your privilege is showing
slasher 4433 what your comment lacks is love if u love humanity u wouldn't feel like this If u had a little baby wouldn't you go and work and do everything to make that baby happy for comimng to earth? Same problem here children are born out of hospitals on the streets ,no schools, they get sick at such a young age how the heck are they going change their homes if they die before knowing even 2+2? Bruh, love ur neighbour as urself cos one day you'll probably need someone but you'll find noone
Free will doesn't exist so yes, we should design a world which we all want to live in. If you're successful it's not because you're just sooo good at what you do. You were in the right place at the right time. That's all there is. I've seen people paid 6 figures who do their job incompetently and cause problems daily. I've seen intelligent people stuck in dead end jobs because they can't find a way out. A society is responsible for it's weakest links as well as its strongest links. It has little to do with individuals. If Bill gates wasn't the guy, there would have been someone else to do it.
In first world countries we have equality of opportunity, that's the way. Charity is also a good value when it's a deliberate action, not and enforced one
People want to help themselves, and that's what we used to do for them. However, some rocket scientist decided to keep them down by giving them free lunches.
You're right. That's why capitalism needs to end. When you produce $100 of value in a factory and your boss takes $80 of this because he "owns" the factory, he is taking what you produce.
So if you are severely handicapped, or suffer from mental retardation, you just deserve to die because you can't "produce" anything of value? That's horrific.
Are you complaining about reality? Stupid thing to do really. But only an idiot thinks that in a western society, the only answer to poverty is communism. This is the west, the most generous people on earth live within these nations, and disabled people are well looked after through the generosity that wealth and prosperity has enabled.
I didn't advocate for communism, I advocated for social programs to help those unable to help themselves for whatever reason. Disabled people are well looked after under our current system, but you said that "Everyone deserves what they can produce. No one deserves what their neighbor can produce". This means that those who can produce nothing, for whatever reason, deserves nothing according to you. And having "nothing" means dying of starvation. That's not the current reality. I am not complaining about our current reality. Sure, I want to change some things, but I never said to revamp the whole thing and turn to communism. I am "complaining" about your proposed reality.
It is not how our world works because we act against it. How the world works is not rigid, if enough powerfull forces were to push it into one direction it will go in this direction. Here we have one powerfull force pushing in the right direction, we still need a LOT more but it is a very good development.
Mike Wazowski It's our World, we live on it, it's our Home; it's ours. We need to take care of it, & we need to take care of people, to ensure their energy to do the same.
Nah, blame the low-income housing real-estate agents who use tax credit with high valuation as a skimming scheme, all in the name of altruism. lol fucking democrats
Depends. If you earn a good life, the carrot hanging in front of your face should not only be attainable, but it should also actually exist and not be an illusion. A lot of people work hard and some would say deserve a good life for their work, but don't end up getting it. A lot of people are simply born in to upper middle-class and don't do any thing with their lives, but simply float by and have things handed to them. I don't think it's an argument of whether people deserve a good life, I think the answer is yes. However, I think the real argument here is that is not how our world works.
chadoftoons improving the world by dispersing the worlds problems? Isn't that like a defeated/ limited perspective? Why not just defeat the problems and disperse the wealth? Or maybe I didn't give you enough time to think that through... ha ha
No one deserves anything by right of fairness or morality because there is no 'fairness' and there is no 'morality'. Such a world would be 'good' but in such a world all humans would be 'moral' and all humans would be 'good' and no one would desire more than what they have which would make this whole deserving and chances irrelevant anyway because everyone would already have equality and chances so we wouldn't have to speak about it. Due to the fact that our world is not t h i s world, it can't be achieved by humans, if it could be then we would live in such a world already. Fairness is, like everything, relative. What is to one fair is unfair to the other. All humans have the same right to be equal under the law - which is impossible because of our nature - but the law is not and shouldn't be fair. If it was it would see something murdering a murderer of one hundred as innocent which is obviously illogical but to the one hundred victim families, this would be 'fair', but to the law, this would be unfair, so to the family of the murder who killed a hundred. Humans are not logical. Humans are subjective and emotional. A human cannot decide what is fair and what not. Only a perfect human, who is logical, could do such a thing, but perfection is impossible, so the idea of fair human law is utopian. The law is a construct, a human made construct at that, but in its nature, it is truly metaphysical and therefore able to be logical. Only true law can be truly equal, true law is the law that is made by humans but not enforced by them, it is made to be 'moral' to humans but it doesn't suffer from the human flaws of emotion and ideal / own morality.
Can you tell me how a sick child earns his treatment? You need opportunities to contribute tot he world. By your logic we should'nt give people these opportunities unless they already have them.
Everyone deserves a chance at a good life, so I say we abolish banking entirely, let capitalism crumble as the lack of new debt means no more money is being pumped into the bottom to be sucked up, watch as the world's working class rises up to overthrow their oppressors, and establish a worldwide society where everyone is working class, and private property is neither real nor necessary.
Neither does a debt based economy for the overwhelming majority whose income is rendered less and less valuable as debt in the system accrues to be paid by the majority on the bottom while all the value goes to the minority at the top, and a debt based economy is necessary for capitalism to exist.
Civilise societies is made of civilise households and civilise households is the formation of civilised individuals, for an instance the African American lacks proper families, too many of them are families of only one parent, a reflection of the individuals that makes up the African American social group
Euh...no...you deserve what you worked for. Some people get more, some people get less, but that is the way of mother nature and life.. So, if someone doesn't get what otehrs get, blame nature..
I know this is 5 months old but you are wrong. I am a female born in the U.S and automatically have more privileges than females born in India and other less developed countries around the world. I did nothing to deserve these privileges, I just so happened to be born into the U.S and now I have them. Yes life in and of itself is not fair but wanting to improve the lives of others is never a bad thing. We as humans have the power to do so, why would we just sit like idiots and do nothing instead of helping those who are less fortunate? You obviously come from a place of privilege and lack perspective. If you were born in Bangladesh or Haiti living in a slum with very little rights you would have VERY different opinion on this matter.
"Talent is evenly distributed throughout the world; opportunity is not"

Yeah, I think if you paid attention to what he was saying was that...I don't know.
Awesome talk. People who have experienced adversity have the heart to help others.
This is a rare talk on TED. He gave so many concrete examples to show real change--change that only the best humans strive for. Unfortunately, many other talks show too many generalities and far less passion and vision.
That last part gave me goosebumps and a tear. Thanks!
I believe that everyone deserves to have the same opportunities

Chance = truly equal opportunity, a level playing field to start from. Without that then you can not have a just distribution system.
a very well raised issue for creating a better world for everyone

You need to get rid of Islam. Islam is a cancer against freedom of thought
Tavakol Meskini Isn't nearly all religions that?
Villager Yeah, it just happens that Islam is one of the more extreme religions.
good point

Can't wait to see the movie, I see it launched today 6 October 2017. Well done Jim Yong Kim, I love what you guys are about. #unitythroughdiversity #eradicatepoverty
Really awsome speech for the World !
Thank you Mr.Kim. I am so proud of you.
this dude is diamond!
thank You
I think Jim Yong Kim is a kind of raw model that we should all admire
This guy sounds like a hero
Brilliant man.
I agree with you 100%. also you are the humaniterian guy. 5000 years ago our ancestor gave to korean blod.
Free accesa to quality Education should be the priority for any country..the art of income should be taught at schools..
As a political conservative, I look at talks like this with a lot of skepticism. But Kim won me over.
Good is a very subjective thing, how good does good need to be, to be good; and what defines good to judge good is good?
Most people feel they deserve more than they'll ever produce. We literally have a system that numerically measures how much you contribute. If you think you deserve more than go start a business and earn it NOBODY is stopping you

just wow
Yes, everyone deserve a chance of a good life, is not fair to someone who borns poor go into a unfair fight to pursue their dream.

chadoftoons improving the world by dispersing the worlds problems? Isn't that like a defeated/ limited perspective? Why not just defeat the problems and disperse the wealth? Or maybe I didn't give you enough time to think that through... ha ha

Can you tell me how a sick child earns his treatment?
You need opportunities to contribute tot he world. By your logic we should'nt give people these opportunities unless they already have them.
An able-bodied person must earn a good life. Obviously there are those that need assistance, such as the handicapped and children.
I can not and will not pull up the ladder behind me.

So, if someone doesn't get what otehrs get, blame nature..

I know this is 5 months old but you are wrong. I am a female born in the U.S and automatically have more privileges than females born in India and other less developed countries around the world. I did nothing to deserve these privileges, I just so happened to be born into the U.S and now I have them. Yes life in and of itself is not fair but wanting to improve the lives of others is never a bad thing. We as humans have the power to do so, why would we just sit like idiots and do nothing instead of helping those who are less fortunate? You obviously come from a place of privilege and lack perspective. If you were born in Bangladesh or Haiti living in a slum with very little rights you would have VERY different opinion on this matter.
