This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
Check out this very engaging talk (embedded below) by former President Bill Clinton. He was a keynote speaker at the 2007 U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Summit hosted by Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. Worldchanging.org has good overview of his speech here.

I am a big fan of TED and it never fails to wow. In this presentation Hans Rosling demonstrates visually a myriad of development indicators and at one point argues that Africa is not a basket case but has made tremendous strides in social development.
Guy Kawasaki gives an interesting presentation (video) on Art of Innovation. It is nice not only from the content but also the presentation point of view.
