To support his argument, Ebert references an incident that occurred in 1993 when Whoopi Goldberg’s former boyfriend, Ted Danson, showed up at her roast at Friar’s Club wearing blackface. Members of the audience were stunned and tension filled the air (similar to the first reactions of the audience in the film).

All Americans have many choices, and it is such a part of our daily lives that we don’t even realize it. Barry Schwartz and Sheena Iyengar‘s TED talks bring up interesting ideas about choice, how people deal with them and their affects. They both state that although choice is good, it can also have negative effects. Schwartz explains what most people believe and experience with choice, while

Following the end of the 681 Traverse City class, I watched Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk on “presence”. She states that if you project self-assurance, even if you’re not feeling it, you will be more credible and influential with others. The old saying, “fake it until you make it” is true.

It also demonstrates that we push ourselves out of our comfort zone and take actions to help others (TED Talk, 2014). - She emphasizes that our kind actions, big or small, prove that we want to take charge and make the world become a better place (TED Talk, 2014).

foundations. Through many forms of communication, we have become conscious of the difficulties college students encounter because of pressures that intervene amidst their equanimity and education.
