TED Talks

TED's secret to great public speaking | Chris Anderson
  This TED Talk is exceptionally good because it connects with the viewer on all levels, turning very complex terminology into basic ideas which the everyday person can understand perfectly. It lists 3 major tips on how to deliver the ideal presentation, dwelling each topic for the right amount of time, not too short or too long. In just over 5 minutes, it leaves the viewer as a better public speaker with its perfect delivery and explanations.

The Panama Papers exposed a huge global problem. What's next? | Robert Palmer
On the other hand, this TED Talk is crammed full with complicated terminology and ideas which prove very hard to follow. The interviewee is clearly familiar on how offshore accounts work, yet he does not offer a basic explanation for the viewers who don't. The explanation on the whole scandal is also lackluster and a cloud of confusion remained on my mind after watching it.



logos: logic - facts and statistics
pathos: emotion - personal story/anecdote
ethos: ethics - credibility, character and authority
