- We are all walking, talking sets of belief systems, but WHY do we believe what we believe? There are so many different things to believe in, yet we all tend to think our beliefs are "right" - but are they? With her photo series, Dutch photographer Maud Fernhout challenges the viewer to ask themselves these questions. Through self-reflection, she argues, we can learn to appreciate the subjectivity of our own beliefs AND that of others', and in doing so reduce (potentially harmful) effects of bias and stereotyping.

Maud Fernhout is a 22-year-old Dutch photographer and artist with a background in psychology and anthropology (University College Utrecht). She often uses this social sciences background to inform her work, which aims to challenge or critique societal norms and values. An example of such work is the "What 'Real' Men Cry Like" series, challenging the gendered stereotype that men don't and/or shouldn't show excessive emotion.

Anyone else notice how Ted posts so much that the subscription boxes only show you one of their videos like once every few weeks lol
Great talk. Becoming aware of, critically reflecting on, and challenging your biases are all extremely important
Dang! That was the trippiest intro ever! Loved it.
When you turn your face away, we lose most of the information - body language - a very important part of oral communication.
And farts become more personal for audience.
She literally adresses that there are objective reason, and then adresses that that bias is the expectancy to have the person face towards you
very substantial! GREAT talk!
Beautifully said Maud! You definitely inspired me 😊

Discover Your Awesomeness Keep on and ignore that comment.
@@jasenkavukelic5047 :)
@Dack Hacksaw actually what he said is very accurate ......ur disapproval shows that ur unable to relate , maybe u don't know what u want in your life or u did but due to failure , u have given up
Discover Your Awesomeness Was your dream always to be a spamming plagiarist?
Illuminating!
One of my favorite talks so far, thank you so much
Reevaluating your beliefs and keeping an open mind is a great asset to have, especially in the fast paced, ever changing world we live in. Fail to do that and you might just get left behind. Of course, having no integrity what so ever could cause you to drift into dangerous waters and lose your morals and values. I think keeping a level head and an open mind would be a good balance.
fantastic talk!
I think the reasoning is a bit shallow, as if there's no evolutionary biology involved and we consciously made a decision on all the social norms.
I agree.
That may be true, but not all social norms are still advantageous today, some of them even primitive, which seems like a good enough reason to at least rethink them.
Agreed
If I had to speak publicly in an auditorium that size I think I would pass out from anxiety...
@Dack Hacksaw here size is not an issue to me and it's not something to comment about when someone is sharing valuable information, courageously, on stage in front of many people. If it makes you uncomfortable, that is your problem.
I'm glad her possibly insecurity about her weight didn't stop her from sharing as I'm glad I got to see this video and her what she had to say. God bless her for doing what she does.
Wanderwoman - I used to feel that way too. It took a lot of time to gain the confidence to feel convertible in front of big crowds.
Yeah no way. My face would be bright as red. I couldn't do it
Same here and in this case it would be better to not face the audience while giving the presentation ;)
Great talk
Great talk, thank you! Recognising your bias and seeing it as a part of the explanation of reality and not the definition of it is soooo important. Also, I loved what she said about the natural but also damaging function of bias, and about our response to chaos. The more my life started diverging from my (and my environment's) expectations the more I realized how important looking at my responses, biases and ability to adapt and be flexible is for healthy attitude and mental health. This talk really reminded me of some of that and provided some great points to think through. Again, awesome video. Clear and concise.10/10

An alternative standard for keeping beliefs is what is probably true even if it isn't obviously useful.
Over my head i just want to finish my coffee.
Hit like Ted x
Nice talk.
But my question as human beings are our world view only shaped my the social norms? How about the environment, our psychological and biological make-up, our Religous beliefs?
Hi guys, I am a teacher and I want to work on her photographs with my students, but her website is suddenly in private mode (it hasn't been last week). Does somebody know why? Or does somebody have contact info? Any help would be appreciated :)
vaav very good
Being organized is perfect for living a successful life.
Not for everyone.
@Dack Hacksaw Depends on what you see as a successful life.
@Dack Hacksaw You can suppose all you want, but that doesn't change that 'a successful life' is different for everyone. And may I recommend you increase your rational?
Great Mam ❤️❤️👍
Thats really complicated i just want to live ok?
put me on the show.. im a dr frankensteins monster and will smith hybrid..i got swag.. but also a semi-amputated face due to cancer. I make vlogs to denounce surrender.
That' very inspiring! I'm sure there's some way to apply to ted on their website?
Can someone give me a summary?
Keep an open mind, and question your beliefs/what you think is right every now and then.
Welcome sweetheart
Get the job
Whatever it i*sssssss*
just look at the huge audience she's addressing o_O
@Dack Hacksaw you're pathetic.
I wanted learn english
Who can help me 😔😔
What ?
Keato
Excellent view, but is it practical?
This should not only be embraced by the finite 0.001% who see this but by the entire 7 billion, till then there would always be biases due to identity association.
This one view would then hold good for governance, beliefs , climate change and what not..
very questionable use of the word 'we'.
You need to be more flexible so that i may control your point of view
Or you need to be more flexible so that the people around you DONT control your point of view, and you can decide for yourself what is "right"
@@bluepharos9748 I agree. You should apply critical thinking and check for bias in any situation
Positive minded people always move a head and they set a goal to achieve they didn't bother by any kind of negativity.The reason behind every successful human being is positivity .
I subscribed to your channel, Kindly do the same for me, Thanks!

@Dack Hacksaw I am agree with you

Stereotypes are often rooted in objective truths.
Women are more emotional than men.
Some women are more emotional than some men.*
How can you be sure of that? How do you know men are not feeling ashamed to shed tears?
Lose some weight will ya
Its wrong of you to say that, judging fron how she looks she mostly gained weight in her abdomen, could be some endocrine disorder. Even if it isnt a disorder lets spread love!
young men of 2018...do not listen to this misguided young lady. Crying does not make you stronger. It does not show that you are in touch with your feelings. It does in fact show weakness. Men are supposed to be the rocks of our society. A woman can not fill this role quite the same way as a man. So boys...quit your cryin and grow a pair as they say:)
Jon Zimmerman Ah yes, I love listening to some random commenter that thinks they know better than someone else who has done more research than them. Go cry about it, Zimmerman.
i'll just think this is sarcastic
yes, grow a pair because testicles are the most indestructible things on the planet, capable of withstanding not much more than a light squeeze.
you sound like a misogynist. show some evidence or leave the conversation.
such a pointless talk, waste of time and money.. :/
why?
