Watch a TED Talk online and write a two (2) page paper about the video.  Define that as you will.  Ultimately, I am most concerned with your considering the material and ideas you are seeing.  Did you agree/disagree?  Did you think the person was taking a skewed viewpoint?  Do you have ideas for how the material could be implemented in the real world?

            All I ask is that you keep the thoughts academic in nature, by which I mean that I request that you refrain from trivial points on appearance, speech patterns, or the like.  I want you to think about the material and relay it into your perceptions of the world so please stick to these concepts instead.
