Patriotism in the Globalized World | Thao Nguyen Nguyen Chi | TEDxGreenwichUniversityDanang

In a world where borders blur and identities blend, how do we hold onto who we are without standing still? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking talk, Thao Nguyen invites us to see culture not as something fragile to lock away, but as something living - meant to grow, adapt, and connect. Through personal insight and powerful examples, she explores how youth, technology, and intention can transform globalization from a threat into a force for cultural revival - and how each of us has a role in keeping identity alive, proud, and evolving.
Thao Nguyen, a young changemaker from Greenwich University, explores how culture can thrive - not disappear - in a globalized world. In her TED Talk, she reimagines tradition not as something to protect in silence, but to pass on with pride. With the belief that “culture is like a tree,” she invites us to rethink identity, evolution, and the power of youth to carry culture forward - boldly, and beautifully. 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
