A graduation speech from America IIRC but it is more profound than most. The next is a book, Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely well worth a read as it makes you more conscious of manipulation and gives a new perspective This last one is a little "brainwashy" as it repeats the key phrase a few too many times IMHO but I found it interesting and you can spot it's usage in everyday life:

other people.
if everyone treated strangers how they would like to be treated then the world might just start to become a nicer place. instead though we seem to have a 'bubble syndrome' in the western world. it's learning to burst your bubble and treat people nice. throw of the shackles and chains of consumerism and be yourself. |

How many fish have to be minced up to produce a kilo of 'farmed' salmon.
How many sharks are being killed just to make shark fin soup. How few fish there are left in the sea. |
