I am now realizing that I do not actually listen to who is…

The Ted talk discusses how the liberals and conservatives have there own different views. While the hidden figures talk about a young woman wanting to get admission into an all-white school. Both of the videos share a common characteristic which is how people treat each other and the way they act toward each other with their personal views. Also, the values and morals they believe in. Both of the videos are similar in a way although the subjects are a bit different. For example, the Ted talk…
