Disturbing things in presentaion

First of all the title of Ted's presentation is "The world's English mania" but during his speech hi talks only about China. This country indeed is one of the biggest countries but it shouldn't be showed like an example of all world.
Second thing that i found disturbing i this presentation is fact that Ted firstly compare "trend" of learning English to nazi movement and show it like a bad thing but later he admits that it's even good to learn English so he denies himself.
