We Are Rice Cookers | Purida Jaroonwanit | TEDxIS Bangkok Youth

Description: Purida compares young people to rice cookers, exploring how pressure can shape the way we behave, think, and present ourselves to others. From social media and changing trends to everyday expectations about success and fitting in, she examines the pressure to become what others expect us to be. Through humor and personal reflection, the talk asks whether constantly changing ourselves to fit our surroundings can cause us to lose sight of who we actually are.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
