How much can we ignore? | Manuela Alaedin | TEDxEscola Concept Ribeirão Preto

Can cruelty become so familiar that we stop recognizing it as cruelty? In this talk, the speaker shares the story of her family's adoption of a cat that had been a victim of abuse. This experience led her to reflect on how repeated exposure to cruelty can make us less sensitive to suffering and even cause us to accept it as normal. The talk invites us to question what we have become accustomed to, recognize the suffering of others, and remember that something does not become acceptable simply because we see it happen too often.
