  • David R. Dow asks us to consider a different story in today's death penalty debate -- one that begins several chapters before the devastating crime. A scholar of death penalty law and the founder of the Texas Innocence Network, he presents a truly inspired re-framing of what seems like an intractable problem and invites us to find a meaningful solution by actually taking a step back and making the problem bigger.
    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)

    This is a brilliant talk from a person who has compassion for prisoners on death row. He has really made me think and change my views on the death penalty. What he says is so sensible. If we could help and support people before they commit the serious crimes. Prevention rather than cure.

    I do. Just began though. Do you believe punishment is a good idea?

    *The education of young adults to the social consequences of their sexual behavior* is what is needed and what is the most cost efficient preventive action.

    RBE is an economic system, not a temporal solution to solve emotional behaviors. It is you, the parent, and the environment that you are in, that are the cause and the solution to what a child becomes.
    Know that, and we can have a future.

    Of course. But I'm just stating that an RBE is just a minor part on amending corrupted human influence.

  • @UnluckyGambler
    @UnluckyGambler 12 лет назад

    id argue its the major part. or at least an equal part. people are the way they are because of the sick environment. change the environment, the people will change along with it. but of course for the transition from this current value system to the value system of the RBE, the people need to change along with the environment. kinda like the nurture vs nature thing, both are important.

    absolutely in favor of an RBE .. but without even trying to debate that... this talk, especially the ending, is one of the BEST i've ever seen on TED. wow. wow. standing ovation. lets work toward a brighter future, for both the victims; and their victims.

    Punishment? Absolutely not. Rehabilitation yes. For example if a person goes around killing pepole and says hes never going stop cause its fun, then obviously we need to lock him up but not in a prison cell in rehabilitation centers so we can study there behavior figure out the cause and apply methods to help in the best possible way we know at the time.

    Evil is an outdated notion. Those 5% were babies at one time who were shaped and formed by there experiences like the rest of us.

    Death Penalty is Inhumane discipline

    Thanks. I applaud you for recognizing the logic in this.

  • @TheMidwestsk8ter

    I know right!?

  • @CyberFenix000
    @CyberFenix000 12 лет назад

    you do know the real reason it doesn't work is because of the environment that system is put to work in... again, not defending communism (personally the closest thing to what I find acceptable is the RBE), but there is no such thing as "human nature" hence the problem with any systems is not the system itself (nor the humans themselves) but rather the interaction between humans and s systems (both act as an environment for the other)

  • @CyberFenix000
    @CyberFenix000 12 лет назад

    why? (I know it did, but I it imperative for us as humans to know the reason, otherwise you might as well call it "magic")

  • @CyberFenix000
    @CyberFenix000 12 лет назад

    Oh yeah, I do agree with you... it's just that most of the times (in America I would say ALL the time), the "reason" communism failed is either because it was evil or because it is just a "failed system" (by failed system, they mean it doesn't work while capitalism is perfect)...

    Jacque Fresco realised this problem 36 years ago!

    Hm I expected more like "we shouldn't punish the sick". But oh well. Another half-ass pseudo-solution :\

  • @stp52x
    @stp52x 12 лет назад

    Correction, people tried to solve these problems 100 years ago. Communism has nothing to do with it.
    They might have pursued the ideal of communism, the vision, the dream. But they never attained it. They didn't get even remotely close.
