Michael Sandel: The lost art of democratic debate
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Jun 8, 2010
http://www.ted.com Democracy thrives on civil debate, Michael Sandel says -- but we're shamefully out of practice. He leads a fun refresher, with TEDsters sparring over a recent Supreme Court case (PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin) whose outcome reveals the critical ingredient in justice.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

Justiça com Michael Sandelby mktrecord4,478 views
One of many great things TED has done is to provide a platform for academics, scientists, engineers, designers and present them as figures that communicate world changing messages directly to the community. The academic or scientist as a "rockstar" figure is a very powerful example for kids from impoverished backgrounds from all over the world who can broaden their horizons and set their goals on attaining academic success and pursue these kind of careers!

@NsaneNtheNbrane I disagree that holding these lectures to students is not as good as lecturing politicians. Students, especially ones attracted to places like Oxford and TED, will be the politicians and journalists of the future. Educate young to yield results later. It's too late for the current generation of politicians.
