TEDS Talks

Paul Piff: Does money make you mean?


This topic of TEDS Talks was about Paul Piff sharing his research, he have done some experiment on how people react to other if they were rich. The first experiment was done with Monopoly. Paul Piff show us using the big screen how the rich person change and treated the poor person after a while. He said that as people get more wealthy, they have less compassion empathy and more self-interest. At the end he talk about the 1% still donate money to the poor because of empathy.

The way he use visual in this topic is by showing picture and video on the big screen. He stop and explain to the audience than show them what he is talking about, this is effective because it let the audience see and know what he is talking about, and also talking alone can make people bored easily, so showing a video and making people focus on different place is a good way to not make people bored.











Through out the video he ask question but he don't use humor, there was some laughing but it was not as  much as the other topic I've seen. What I like is that his pace of talking is slow and clear,this give him more time to think about what he is going to say next, observe his listener, and this make people know that he serious

In conclusion, I enjoy this topic and was engaged in it. What he said made sense because he had good reason and research to prove his point. While I was watching it, I can clearly understand without re-watching it. All of his experiment was very smart and fun to watch and listen to.
