How I survived a terrorist attack, TED Talk

The talk started with the speaker telling us about their experience of a terrorist attack. The speakers legs had been taken in the attack and they were now supported by prosthetic limbs. She tells us she felt loved and that is what kept her alive, this is what helped her to not feel hate or vengeance. When she was saved she wore a tag that said: Unknown, Estimated, Female. In that moment she realised that she wasn’t considered as a white Australian woman, she was just simply a human and that didn’t matter. She was human and that is why she was saved, I think this is brilliant it didn’t matter about her skin colour, her race, her nationality, religious beliefs, job or anything just that she was a life. All the talks I have looked into have linked to the idea of thinking outside the box but this was not anything to do with that. Humans saved other humans without thinking it was second nature yet in everyday life we have problems with equality. This is where we need to think outside the box.
