To Whomever's Argument Against The TED Talk

Improved Essays
The TED talk is very convincing. The speaker had both emotionally engaging and scientific facts to back up her emotional arguments, so that the audience can think of them with also a scientific bases. Each experiment made sense and were based off basic logical ways of thinking. For example the first argument where she explained how confident poses induced more testosterone production in the body, which leads to more confident actions as testosterone causes aggressive behaviour that can be seen as confident and assertive, is a very simple idea, that really cannot be argued against.

    The reason why I trust the findings is because I do not think these problems were such a big deal. In actuality, I think it was great that the results were published so quickly because it caused another deterrent to committing domestic violence. On the other hand, publishing the results so quickly could have caused the main deterrent instead of being deterred by being arrested, being counseled by an officer or sent off to cool down which is my reason for not trusting the results. I don’t think this experiment was executed exactly as planned because it is hard to get people to participate in an experiment in order to understand if their significant was affected by the experiment in a negative or positive way (i.e., the victims & interviews). This makes it hard to understand how accurate the findings…

    In Bryan Stevenson’s Ted talk he addresses the issues and injustices in the criminal justice system. The first main point that Stevenson makes is that there is a large degree of disconnect between what happens in the criminal justice system and communities of poverty, and what happens in those of affluent or middle class wealth.
