Politics is an Old Man’s Game | Emily Merritt | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

Is the world changing for the better? This TedTalk uses politics as a case study to ask why there is such a large disconnect between our promises and our actions, and what we can do to recognize and change this endemic issue. Emily Merritt is a 16 year old British-American who has lived in Eastern Asia for most of her life. She loves learning new things and solving problems, and hopes to apply these passions through education in the physical sciences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
