- 14:04“¿Por qué hay criminales que son vistos como héroes? | Andrés Felipe Acosta Alzate | TEDxLCB Youthofrece un análisis fascinante sobre el papel de los medios en la construcción de figuras criminales que se convierten en íconos culturales. Explora cómo las narrativas mediáticas, al idealizar a algunos de los criminales más notorios de la época contemporánea, diluyen los límites entre lo real y lo ficticio, transformándolos en modelos a seguir o símbolos glorificados. Mis intereses abarcan la historia, la política, la literatura y deportes como el fútbol, la Fórmula 1 y el baloncesto. Actualmente, trabajo en proyectos como aprender italiano y francés, perfeccionar mi escritura y entrenarme para correr una media maratón completa. Mis metas incluyen destacar como estudiante en la Universidad del Rosario, liderar su modelo de Naciones Unidas y realizar una doble titulación en Europa. Profesionalmente, aspiro a ocupar un cargo público en Colombia y construir una carrera diplomática que contribuya al desarrollo del país.

By exploring the teachings of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, Keisha illustrates how Stoicism’s principle of mental discipline offers enduring lessons for navigating uncertainty.

Keisha Lerum is a student of anthropology and classical history, specializing in Ancient Roman society, identity, and cultural diffusion within the provinces as seen in architecture. Her broader research examines identity formation in the context of liminality. Keisha’s talk delves into Roman stoicism, which she has been practicing for over six years. Initially influenced by the teachings of Epictetus, her approach has since incorporated insights from other Roman Stoic philosophers. Keisha emphasizes the importance of mental discipline, the dichotomy of control, and voluntary discomfort for managing passions and alleviating emotional suffering. Through her studies, she investigates how ancient societies faced the same fundamental realities as the modern world, showcasing these parallels across different cultural manifestations.
