ホットドッグはサンドイッチ?｜Joy Li｜TEDxGUIS Guangzhou Youth

TEDxGUIS Guangzhou Youthでの講演で、高校1年生のJoy Liさんは「ホットドッグはサンドイッチか?」という問いを出発点に、人が物事や自分自身をどのように分類し、ラベル付けし、定義するのかを考えます。内向的だと自認してきた自身の経験をもとに、あらかじめ決められた枠に当てはまる必要性に疑問を投げかけます。講演では、そもそもなぜラベルが必要なのかを問いかけています。自己発見を促し、アイデンティティは固定されたものではないと伝えています。

• 単純な問いから分類について考察
• 内向的だと自認してきた個人的な体験
• ラベルの必要性を問い直す

In this thought-provoking talk, Joy Li uses the seemingly simple question, “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” to explore how we categorise, label, and define things, including ourselves. Drawing on her personal journey of identifying as an introvert and searching for a label that truly represented her, Joy challenges the need to fit into predefined identities. She invites us to move beyond asking, “Which label defines me?” and instead consider, “Why do I need a label at all?” Ultimately, her talk encourages us to embrace self-discovery, challenge limiting definitions, and recognise that who we are is not fixed but full of possibilities.
