私たちを変えうる対話 | Cecilia Puente | TEDxMacatawa

多くの人は話す前に何が安全かを静かに計算し、議論では理解よりも勝つことを目指しがちです。TEDxMacatawaでのこの講演で、高校3年生のCecilia Puenteは、意味のある会話には「理解されること」「間違えること」「変わること」という三つのリスクを取る必要があると論じています。古代ギリシャの概念パレーシア（率直に語ること）を手がかりに、勇気、好奇心、開放性が意見の対立を発見へと変えうることを示しています。講演は独立して運営されたTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 人が発言を控え、勝つために議論しがちな理由
• 理解されること、間違えること、変わることという三つのリスク
• 古代ギリシャのパレーシアという概念

Before we speak, most of us quietly calculate what’s safe to say, and when we do speak, we argue to win. Cecilia Puente makes the case that conversations that matter ask us to take three risks: being heard, being wrong, and being changed. Drawing on the ancient Greek idea of parrhesia, she shows how courage, curiosity, and openness can turn disagreement into discovery. Cecilia Puente is a high school junior, writer, and youth leader interested in how we communicate across differences. She has shared her writing and ideas through essays, competitions, and public forums. Through programs at Georgetown, Harvard, and the University of Chicago, she has studied courageous discourse, public speaking, debate, and approaches to building connected communities. She has carried these experiences into national youth boards and civic leadership initiatives, and is creating opportunities for dialogue in her community. Cecilia also mentors younger students and studied ballet for over a decade. She is particularly interested in dialogue and polarization. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
