Three new videos from Vox give a good synopisis of some of the events playing in the world right now:
Each video is about a very different, yet at the same time these three phenomena are linked by common themes. Which lives matter? Who decides? And who decides who decides?
My knowledge of the British suffragettes seems to be completely wrong. Fascinating how their movements used different tactics to draw attention on the street and from the camera.
British suffragettes in the early 20th century used spectacle and drama to draw attention to their fight to win women the vote. They delivered public speeches, marched, displayed colorful banners, and got thrown in jail, all in an effort to pressure legislators to extend suffrage to women.
See more in the following video from Vox, “How British suffragettes fought for the vote”.
Two new video’s I liked from Vox. Of course in their trademark style, but I gained interesting insights on some of the current events in the US:
A brilliant explanation video from Kurzgesagt which explains some of recent discoveries in “gut science” about the importance of our gut microbiome.
A great new video from Vox, “How Cooper Black became pop culture’s favourite font”:
The Youtube channel Philosophy Overdose uploaded this great video. The video is a compilation of some people discussing the differences between positive versus negative liberty/freedom.
A short but brilliant video from NPR explaining the segregation of lives and neighbourhoods in the US:
In 1968, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act that made it illegal to discriminate in housing. Gene Demby of NPR’s Code Switch explains why neighborhoods are still so segregated today.
Noam Chomsky explaining how the work ordinary people do every day that form the base on any change in the world. Via Open culture
A short video about the the Hong Kong’s (ding-ding) trams and an inside look into the workshops where the trams are made and maintained. I loved riding these trams when I was visiting a friend in HK.
