Chris Jordan pictures some shocking stats
24/Nov/09- We were shown four “TED Talks” videos in the classroom. All the four videos concerned current issues of importance. The order we were shown them was: "Are we in control of our decision?","Benjamin Wallace:Does happiness have a price tag?","Chris Jordan pictures some shocking stats!" and "A.J.Jacob: A year of living Biblically". The third video in particular, caught my attention.

The third video in particular, caught my attention.
I particularly enjoyed the video of Chris Jordan and his presentation of some startling statistics.
Mr. Jordan specifically presented facts to support the increasing deterioration in the American society. His stats were convincing enough to make people scratch their heads over issues regarding caffeine consumption, prisoners, cigarettes, prescribed drugs and plastic surgery (mainly breast implants). He was able to convince his viewers how the blame game won’t sort the problems but every person should be responsible for his/her own actions and how each and everyone of us could make a change.
When you hear a bad thing for a long period of time, it starts to look the right thing. Similarly, the use of prescription drugs and the consumption of coffee may seem right but they do have certain disadvantages on the long term basis. In my opinion the ever-increasing rate of breast implants is a frightful and alarming fact. It supports the fact that people have forgotten what’s right and what’s wrong. The deaths (1,110) per day due to cigarettes show how the society is devastating and with teenagers also in increasing numbers, adopting the woeful habit, things are not going to get any better. Its time for us to realize and take responsibility to ensure a better future where ¼ of the population has not gone to prison.
