- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Michael Gavin, associate Professor of human dimensions of natural resources researches biological diversity, and discusses the importance that history, language and tradition have in the preservation of culture.
Associate Professor of human dimensions of natural resources in the Warner College of Natural Resources. His research examines the origins of human and biological diversity, which has led him to work with indigenous communities in over a dozen countries.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I realised more things by going through the comments than watching the video.
Nothing makes us stronger than having nothing in common with one another.
Lol
Love it
EXACTLY
Is America multicultural?
Some times its best not to have any thing to do with one another we are taken out of our own enviroment then slap bang into anther. Its not fare on us or them.
I agree with this guy. So when people In Poland, Czech republic, Slovakia or Hungary will want their culture protected Europe Union will respect that right?
How are the above cultures threatened now?
Are they minorities in their own countries?
As a matter of fact Hungarian minority in Slovakia needs protection from the Slovak majority.
Roma minorities in these countries need also protection from the majorities in the respective countries, for whom integration of the Roma means assimilation or worse, deportation.
Sure! Have museums and parks like you currently do.
Just don't ram cars into people.
Did you not get that memo?
@Page Fault Yes it does. You are free to, say, preserve your culture with museums all you want. Just don't ban immigration while forcing free markets down everyone's throats and don't bomb the planet.
David, being a minority doesn't mean you're automatically threatened. The best is when no community holds absolute majority, above 50%.
@@fredericchristie3472 why wouldn't we ban immigration?
I find it odd that anyone can be offended by this video- he is merely giving insight into how indigenous cultures have to wrestle with different majority cultures. This is neither new information nor revolutionary nor a critique of just America. Chill out good people and realize we can understand others and still be united. Peace out!
America used to stand for E Pluribus Unum, and now it stands for non-unity. This has destroyed American strength.
Right!
Peace invites weakness. Your weakness gives me strength. So...peace out.

Respect to this guy for swimming against the stream. Celebrate cultural diversity while you can, because we are actively merging cultures into one.
until the 4th world war breaks out
they tried this experiment in countries such as haiti, zimbabwe and ethiopia to permanently destructive results.
*Nods head in agreement.
Right? "Diversity is good" is just the cover story for smashing humanity into a deracinated, atomized collective with one bland, dull, faithless mass of toiling slaves. One race appears to be maintaining their diversity however...the same one who preaches diversity for everyone else but not them.
Do not confuse 'cultural diversity' with 'multiculturalism'. His point really is to respect and preserve cultural identity. The comments against multiculturalism are merely proving his point. Whether its indigenous cultures or 'christian': aren't these worth preserving?
Artur Terho So what is your suggestion? That we force foreigners out and start being intolerant of other races? If you ask me, that sounds cruel. And boring (as I like having a variety of people. Just having one culture and/or race is boring).
Artur Terho Again, what is your suggestion? That we go back to isolationism? That there should be no foreigners? Should I stop being friends with those who aren't my ethnicity?
Do not get me wrong, I do agree that having completely different values isn't unity. However, as long as people, regardless of race and practices, can put aside their differences and work together, I don't mind.
Again, are you suggesting that we go back to pre-civil rights days and become intolerant of one another?
Artur Terho I will say this: I agree that forced diversity is unneeded. I also see your point about foreigners owning parts of countries being an issue as that can potentially take away a country's identity (unless if the foreigner has adapted to the country's laws and culture as well as become a citizen of that country. I also don't mind if they simply own businesses).
The idea of preserving cultures IMO is a tough thing to do. Haven't cultures been shifting in the past generations and changes constantly. Languages die, shift, traditions fade and new ones are created. In addition new concepts of culture is added due to interaction of foreigners and so forth. I honestly don't think we can preserve everything. Humans progress and change overtime. It has been happening since the beginning of time. And I'm sure people don't want to adopt aspects of a culture that are outdated or morally wrong (i.e forced marriages).
John Mclane Yeah, but it is none of your business. My culture is a private matter. Individuals negotiate and mediate among themselves on common universal principles.
I like to use a pallet of paint as an analogy for multiculturalism. On their own, the colours of paint are vibrant, beautiful, defined and special. Some colours naturally blend together, to make new exciting shades and colours, when mixed correctly, these colours can really compliment each other. However, when it’s done wrong, whether that’s mixing paints that don’t go together, or mixing too many colours together without thought, the original colours begin to loose what made them special and loose their vibrancy and in the end, you’re left with a dull shade of brown in the middle, with no defining features, and nothing that makes it special. Then you realise the original colours have been mixed during the creation of the shade in the middle so now; there’s no reason to travel and experience these new colours as there is nothing special about them and no reason to go there
I'm thinking about this in a bit similar way...
But you added some more details to it...well said 👏
"I like to use a pallet of paint as an analogy for multiculturalism"
aaaand... you have invalidated anything you're about tosay
I will say the first true thing:
THIS COMMENT SECTION IS A DUMPSTER FIRE
It's important to understand and appreciate cultural diversity. Every culture has its own beliefs, values, and traditions which make our world more diverse. By recognizing and respecting different cultures, we can promote mutual understanding and build a more inclusive and tolerant society. Embracing diversity enables us to learn from one another, broaden our perspectives, and create a more connected world.
Those who favor "diversity" flee in terror from the only genuine diversity -- different ideas and opinions.
They are allergic to it.
they call it "white fragility"
Having cultural diversity is a good thing for us. It gives different view points and how life works for other people and how diverse life can be. We should be worry about losing the culture diversity because it has a huge impact in life. Michael Gavin has a very good point about culture diversity being the rights of people. People have diversity that tell them who they are and that very important not to ignore.
It would seem then that the best way to lose cultural diversity would be to fill up every country we can with people from every culture on the planet.
That can be learned by travel and reading. Forced togetherness didn't work
Lol
The school is the most important component in building the personality of individuals to learn from life and from the community school life that cares about all groups of the school community (parents, students, community institutions, governments, charities) All with the school.
Ideology and the political course are also part of a culture. Diversity is the opposite of unity, and when the unity in a country is too low there lies a breeding ground for social conflict. A multicultural society can be positive under strict conditions. Some of these are: Allow only cultures with similar core values. Keep the "guest cultures" limited in numbers to prevent a power struggle. Create awareness for the dominant home culture and the humble guest cultures. When the cultural differences have become too big, you either get a split up like north and south sudan, like Belgium and the Netherlands, or a bloody civil war. History has proven so countless times
A mut is always stronger than a pure breed.

homogenous countries (e.g.: Iceland, Japan, Korea) are always superior to diverse ones.
Michael.....Compelling and game changing...Great to hear D & I being addressed through the lens of the indigenous....If you are in NY look me up...
Brilliant! Well said and thank you for your wisdom, your strength and your natural bridging qualities for humanity and the natural way…
who else is watching this for school?
Thanks for the talk. I think most of the commentators down, visioned white loosening its color and Christianity its flavor by this talk. If you are Lithuanian be it, the speaker here is exactly speaking about that -How important it is to preserve the identity of a community particularly the indigenous ones that are threatened with extinction. It is about preserving and allowing others to preserve.
Cultural diversity is great when you think about how it creates people who view the world in different perspectives. But the thing is the majority of human beings are arrogant and so full of ego, we are so far from the respect each other’s way of living. All cultures will try to impose theirs on other culture and since this rarely works, the act comes off as rude and oppressive and the cycle of hate continues.
That's just what happens when you live in the real world where everything isn't equal.
Lol
I was sent to this video via my college professor, obviously because she considered it important enough in relation to the Foreign Culture course I'm currently taking. I'm not even sure why I scrolled down to comments, but I did, and now I regret it. Why are you all threatened by cultural diversity?
Let us play devil's advocate. What if other races were out to get whites, wouldn't it be better to learn as much as you can about that culture in order to educate yourselves, and arm yourselves with ammunition to oppose "the enemy"..?
Knowledge is power my friends! Additionally, balance is a good thing...some diversity is better than none at all.
Because "diversity" is snuffing out the white race, that's why. Take Britain for example. I mean large cities that WERE ALWAYS dominated by whites are now majority Muslim. London, the capital of Britain is majority non-white and has a non-white mayor that is hostile toward whites. Britain is standing back watching their country being stolen from them and can't say or do a damn thing. This is all brought to you by diversity. You might understand, it might hit home a little more if Africa were being sold off brick by brick but it isn't, so you can't quite seem to put it in perspective. But diversity at least for America and Europe will lead to the end of America and Europe.
How is this this hard to understand?
some diversity is better than none at all.
if you could choose, would you rather live somewhere like somalia and brazil or in a country such as Iceland or Denmark?
Diversity only works along the lines of culture and ideology.
And the host country must decide your culture. One just can't barge in and do whatever they want
I used to agree with you but I realize that we need to provide the same opportunities to all groups. Unfortunately globalization is unifying cultures and we all should have the same opportunities for learning technology, language and scientific progress.
I agree with letting indigenous peoples having a day to study their people from a curriculum written by indigenous people who love their group. To balance that, Europeans get a day to study their people from a curriculum written by Europeans who love their people. This will create pride in all groups. Multiculturalists will not be allowed in the classroom on that day.
"We must take these examples from Vanuatu and elsewhere, and we must begin to create systems which celebrate cultural diversity which explore our differences and which embrace multiple ways of thinking. If we can do that, we'll be better prepared for tomorrow; but if we don't do that, then our grandchildren are going to grow up in a world that is gar less diverse and they won't even know it." We see today that major fulfillment centers are becoming diverse, and this must always be properly governed by appropriate overseers. The words are poetic!
idk what's going on with this video but i need to watch it for a school assignment so...

A white man sad about how cultural diversity and a native language is dying, tells a emotional story of an native elder "I'll call him David"
OH the irony, lolol.
Maybe, just maybe, if the island didn't have the highest levels of cultural diversity per capita of anywhere on the planet, their language wouldn't be dying out.
So this guy agrees cultural diversity of a country or island is bad ? That's what I get from his sad little story.
The irony being that whites were wiped out by foreign invaders? Wait, no, the opposite happened.
How weird what Nazis think is ironic.
I can't say much about the other half of your comment, but he said "David" because of the issue of confidentiality. When you refer to someone, no matter the race or gender, you have to use a very common name, and common names change depending on the culture. I don't think that part is worth getting upset about.
@@Kay-wp8xf
Confidentiality ?
Firstly, the guy is dead. Secondly, even if he used his real first name, no one would have known who he was. Thirdly, he could have used another name of the native people, and not David.
I'm not upset, I find it hilarious lol.
Do-gooders are so blind to their own patronising language, and doing the thing, his whole talk is about, killing their native language.
@@fredericchristie3472 funny how you automatically equate whites to nazis. you're really sour about what you can't be
What a clear speaker!
We are not animals by any means but the term invasive species somewhat fits the narrative he presented. If an ecosystem (society/nation) is presented an animal (in this case humans with different ideologies, culture etc..) this could disrupt homeostasis by making the original species who inhabits that area decline (in this case the existing culture will be disrupted due to failed assimilation). However, if an animal that was presented to an ecosystem does not negatively affect the homeostasis (successful assimilation) then it will not become an issue. As complex we humans are, we are susceptible to this type of instability, especially since we value our own uniqueness and diversities without compromise to others.
I like how the comment section completely misses the point of the talk

It matters because it’s good for the economics. It’s all about the money and resources. Without diversity it’s much harder to make deals or exploit other countries resources. You have to be a business man to understand why diversity is a good thing.
Well, it might be a good thing. But what about SJWs? Aren't they using them as a tool to destroy Westerners?
diversity is a good thing
said no Israeli ever
you will not get your shekels rabbai
if diversity were good for "the economics", China wouldn't be the most powerful country in the world.
nor would the usual 1st world countries keep their influential standing on a world wide scale
Weird
God taught me that it's the mentality of the people, behavior patterns and traits whether we are in a diverse society or not. I lived in same cultural, racial societies as well as diverse ones. You can still have enemies and good people in either societies so to me, it doesn't matter.
Diversity always matters to these kinds of people until diversity moves into their neighborhood and diversity starts going to their children's School
What's wrong with that??

Almost all populations and nations have been homogeneous up until the last century except for a few exceptions such as South-America, USA and South Africa due to colonialism.

There are a lot of assertions made in favour of cultural diversity in this talk, along with not so subtle hints that while all cultures are equally important the one that is imagined to be paramount (for now) is not; as evidenced by the also not so subtle snarky comments about the British and supposedly hapless Peruvians ( the soft bigotry of low expectations here I think). What evidence is there for cultural diversity leading to better outcomes? Is that a given? What if the British culture of global trade bringing quinine to the rest of the world is the only one? This is a genuine question.
I understand and agree the benefits of diverse thought solving complex problems (Galton's Wisdom of Crowds)But is it a natural extrapolation to
Analyze the ways in which culture is becoming more diverse, multicultural, and globalized.

Ignorance brings animosity, fighting, arguments, war, and bloodshed.
Well, It doesn't mean that we should give up on it. There are people right now in the world who are genuinely suffering because of people who are afraid of accepting their culture and allowing them to thrive. So that is the reason why there are wars, arguments, fighting and bloodshed not people like him(the speaker) who are trying to open and show the world that there is good if we let people embrace their culture and thrive as well.
Default Name, No that's not true. The whole point of Cultural diversity is to take what is better in another's culture and add to yours so, the whole point is improving. You can't tell people to forget who they are. it's not possible.

To ensure a diversity with value is to secure the survival of knowledge and experience and is beneficial to solving the unknown issues to be faced.

There is no substance though, at least it is not communicated.
No you goof, diversity is not out strength. It’s out weakness. No one cares where you’re from. Our strength is coming together and abandoning our differences to rally behind a single goal.

I used to believe the lie of diversity until I came to the west,now I know it would never work. No matter how good your English or command of the native language is or how much you try to integrate you are still an outsider and would be treated as such. Most immigrants hold on tobghe dream of integration but it's all fake. Even children of generations of immigrants born in the west still get to face the harsh reality that ethnicity always means you would not be seen the same. Our ways of life are different,how we do things and act even how we play is different. Until we face the reality that immigrants are nothing more but labour and that's it.
Why are there whiners in the comment section? Historically most ethnic groups (with the exception of groups like the Amish) that immigrated to North America assimilated and intergrated at least by the 2nd or 3rd generation. Italians, Poles, Greeks, Jews, and Spaniards were once thought as "other" but they eventually assimilated, right? I know some 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese Americans and they are as American as apple pie.
"Diversity of hues, form and shape enricheth and adorneth the garden, and heighteneth the effect thereof.

We always had cultural diversity in the world. That's why we had wars. Importing incompatible cultures in a nation means importing conflict.
Things constantly change, collective consciousness molds itself to meet everybodies needs, it's called evolution

that's why it's useless to fight off the rise of nationalism all across 1st world nations
The real departure from the airports of modernity towards the past is inevitable, with the intention of enriching the deficiencies of the new consciousness with the impetus of the ancient purposeful philosophy. Therefore, the conceptual stages related to verbal development must be devoted away from weak discussion and vernacular dialogues aimed at spreading the superficial culture which is the cause of cultural, scientific, literary and industrial backwardness To countries.

This was a good talk. But on the flip side, if people from remote areas of the world have big dreams and want to advance themselves. They have to Westernize to some degree. But Gavin must also see how groups vie for control and this yearning for power is what causes cultural disrespect. But his general premise was good.
Big dreams? What like be a tech developer or Ceo of a Telecommunications company? These aren't attainable dreams for anyone. Big Dreaming should be A long safe life, happy family and living in harmony with ones surroundings and hopefully never having to deal with the probing finger of authority intervening.
"Westernize" you don't own many of the things you think you own...
I laugh when people throw that phrase around haha
How about people travel where they wish, live how they wish and speak how they wish?
Yeah, about the rapes? When Germany tracked the stats, they found out that, as with every other migrants we've tracked, the migrants were LESS likely to commit crime than the native population, as indicated by the fact that an explosion of more than 400% of migrants led to less than an 80% increase of migrant crime, exactly the opposite of what bigots like you would predict if you were honest.

Your problems with migrants are because you are so laughably miserly that, when you fucked up and let America blow up Iraq because you can't be bothered to actually get the UN working since it might be inconvenient for you, you decided to not pick up your goddamn mess and instead spent ungodly amounts of money on fences and walls. If you had just invested that money into resettlement, we'd be fine right now.

Wonderful talk. Diversity keeps the gene pool strong
It's causes strife in many cases
There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons. Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordics propagate themselves successfully. With other races, the outcome shows deterioration on both sides. Quality of mind and body suggests that observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation
as immigration law.

As Double D once said in Ed Edd & Eddy: ohhhh curse diverse cultures
I honestly couldn’t keep up with the video because of the comment section 😅 Legitimate question, if this happens to be seen, why are cultural diversity and unity seen as mutually exclusive? Additionally, what is the general definition of “unity” here? I feel like there isn’t a clear definition given of what unity means in this context. Do folks here feel that the respect and preservation of individual cultures in a society can’t also coincide with mutual respect and cooperation?
Why are they mutually exclusive?? Are you kidding? If that person next door doesn't share the same values I do, how can I trust that they won't kill me simply because I gave them a funny look. And when they have political protection, they get away with it. Or they change the law to make it possible for them to kill whoever they please
mutual respect and cooperation lol. most tribes are pragmatically self-centred and look after the best interests of their own first and foremost. they might not want to do you any harm let alone kill you, but they will always put themselves ahead of you

Language is a crucial component of cultural diversity
His examples for why diversity was important had more to do with the geographical location of the people. Of course, the British didn't know about the plant that the people of Peru had because the British did not live there. It had nothing to do with the race, language, or culture of the people. It had to do with the fact that the plants were on the other side of the world.
They also have paid generations of taxes. The government owned them back taxes.
it is so easy to blame others for issues you experience. Always searching for the cause of a problem in other people. Blaming yourself is the last thing that comes in mind Can you not understand that problems like mass-immigration or loss of diversity are caused by us all. Supporting war in the east or the colonization of Africa and many more conflicts are a cause of these issues too. Know better. Do better.

new guys christiana were very plane but well spoken like baptist
This content and philosophical direction of this talk is pretty obvious.
Cultures come and go and society tends to gravitate to the most economically and politically powerful cultures. If you want to prosper in the dominant culture, which is almost always the most economically powerful, you conform at least to the degree that you must to prosper economically. I am quite sure that as China and India begin to rise in dominance, the dominant culture will change and my descendants may well be speaking Mandarin in the future.
No, we are not conforming our society and schools to accommodate each and every culture. If you only go to our schools 4 days a week, you will be less well prepared than someone who went 5 days per week.
You can teach your culture at home and you are encouraged to.
I wouldn't care if we all spoke Spanish, danish, french, English, etc. But wouldn't it be easier if we all spoke the same language or believed in the same laws and beliefs?
You can't just invent a language, all of our languages are the result of slow changes in speech in specific regions, just like biological evolution.
be respectful and do no harm - diversity becomes toxic when it is forced by a bad ideolgy ?
Diversity is awesome as long as the minorities keep empowering us white guys to expand our government fiefdoms.
wtf this comment section though
People seeing through the lies
White racism as usual
You data is lacking. When you have people that refuse to assimilate it's a real problem
Diversity of itself is not necessarily strength, in fact it can be a detriment. Certain cultures will prey criminally on other cultures because they are different. diversity is not strength, unity is strength. Now, if you merge diverse ideas in unity, yes, that is strength. But If you have Sharia law in one community conflicting with constitutional law in another, criminal street gangs attacking other races, dozens of cultures all demanding special treatment, then that is division, it is not strength, it weakens the society and makes it vulnerable. Unity is strength, not diversity.
Nice explanation
I’m of Irish descent. What I didn’t know until recently was the history of Irish enslavement. No I’m not talking about the commonly known version of indentured servitude. But the harsh reality of generational slavery. So, why is this important you ask?
There can be no question that slavery is front and foremost in the minds of academia and the social justice warriors. Now, imagine how different our society would be if we had taught how whites were enslaved by whites.
There is also another part of this era that isn’t discussed “ impressment “. Where our US Navy actually abducted men of off the streets and forced into service, with no compensation. Not only were they abducted, they were also flogged, severely.
Flogging wasn’t outlawed until 1850 on the books. However the practice continued well beyond 1850.
So these do-gooders spouting about strength-in-diversity have sanitized one aspect of the issue while shoving the other side in our faces. If we can’t overcome this problem known as diversity, we’ll continue to be an even greater fractured nation
Look at all the downvotes - people are on to this grift.
