The world has been changing rapidly during the past centuries; we are now living in a period in which changes happen in a flash, with the introduction of new technology, the development of science, the expansion of globalization and many more factors that contribute to the accelerated changes.

The questions are: are we evolving toward good or bad, positive or negative directions? Are we moving forward, backward, or in a loop? How have we evolved and how do we cope with such changes?

“The Era of Evolution” is the theme of TEDxAssumptionU 2019 event that is going to take you to explore human evolvements through the aspects of tradition, relationship, diversity, distance and many more factors that are the cause and effect of changes that accumulate over time into the “era of evolution” that we live in.

He believes that all of us wish for great achievements in life, but sometimes setting goals without considering our behavior in real life can be too broad and too abstract to achieve. In his own style, questioning what, why and how we do or want to do things can lead us to clearer reasons and clearer approaches to the things that we aim for.

Warawut Lomwongsa

Public Relation of Warner Bros. Thailand
Warawut Lomwongsa has years of experience in the marketing world of films, travel, and education. According to Mr.Warawut, strategies marketers use to hype the demand and get customers to buy their products are hardly pure white tactics, but rather in the grey area or even darker. Marketing is a tool to lure the audience into believing and buying products; it can be dark, but it is also a vital tool to educate target audiences. So as sellers and buyers, we shall be sure that we can live up to its consequences.
