[竟然忘记点计时了⊙﹏⊙b汗]Politics is like drama, the good thing is you can choose what to hear. Recommendation: choose the nonpartisan source.
2'32 Know the political structure- whether the specific policy is decided by the local government, the state government or the federal government？Two examples: president is elected through the domestic votes, but president influences the foreign policy most; Congress is responsible for XXX, but president is mistakenly wrong blamed.
After you know the government structure, you may go back to the political soap opera, and investigate the related politian's background to see whether he or she can make the suitable decision that you care.
1'15 Raise the question: whether all languages in the world have the same ancestor? Without the timeframe benefit, two resources:1)XXX Onomatopoeia:2)borrowing.
1'32 similarity from the seemingly dissimilarities between different language. Example: five English words begin with "f"  and five Greek words that have the same meaning begin with "p"
a proto-Language for European language and India language.
2'06 走神了。。。It's impossible... spreadout....Africa...
9'30
Main Idea: the reasons for less diversity in high tech companies (univercities, universities, elementary schools, company culture).
Attitude: netural neutral
Structure: Take an specific company: Pandora is relatively more diverse than other high tech companies in Sillicon silicon Valley.
==> High tech companies used to avoid to reveal figures of diversity to the public, but now they believe they should
==> compare the figures between different companies (race - Asian, Hispanic, Black, white, sex)
==> Oversimplizing the diversity question - less diversity means bad - is not true.
==> Reasons for little diversity: education in universities, sterotypes, stereotypes company culture.

第二遍：
