A importância de construir um cenário político compassivo e amistoso | Makoto Buroku | TEDxWasedaU

Makoto Buroku, estudante de ciência política, defende que não devemos nos afastar da política, mesmo quando ela se torna cada vez mais desgastante. Em sua palestra no TEDxWasedaU, ele destaca a importância de se manifestar ao mesmo tempo em que se ouvem pontos de vista diversos. Ele imagina um debate político ativo e amistoso, centrado na compaixão e não na divisão. O vídeo é do TEDx Talks.

• Os riscos de se afastar da política
• Falar e ouvir diferentes pontos de vista
• Uma visão de debate político compassivo

Now more than ever, many of us just want to tune out of the increasingly exhausting field of politics. However, in this talk, political science student Makoto Buroku challenges this idea. Makoto shares his perspective on the importance of speaking up, while also listening to each other’s diverse points of view. Makoto highlights the dangers of withdrawing from the political scene, and imagines a future where political discourse is both active and amicable, centered around compassion not division. Makoto Buroku is a first year student at Waseda University’s School of Political Science and Economics, majoring in political science. Born in Japan but raised in the United States, Makoto has a deep interest in the politics of both countries. Growing up attending international schools pushed him to take an interest in the diverse experiences of people around the world. Having been raised during the internet age while experiencing recent political polarization and shifts in both the US and Japan, Makoto feels invigorated to reshape the way we engage with politics, encouraging civic responsibility and compassion during an increasingly tense political climate. 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
