1. From this video I am taking away, that parenting isn’t perfect. In the world today, everyone seems to feel that parenting is perfect and will give anyone the ultimate happiness from spreading life. The truth of the matter is that’s not always true. In order to have a successful family, there will always be problems and bumps in the road. The problem is, nobody will ask for help or advice when these moments are upon us. The reality is, people need to be able to accept the truth of what happens thorough the world on a daily basis, not try and cover it up and make it pretty. We need to embrace the world of parenting and change it for the better.
2. The effective techniques in Alisa and Rufus’ TED Talk are their immense use of storytelling. They use many broad points that could have been very hard to understand. Yet, the points were very clear due to the very personal stories that are detailed in each portion of the presentation. The way each of them tell stories that are relatable to every average person, the stories from the inside world that most people don’t like to talk about, are the perfect relief. It’s always reassuring to know that ‘you are not the only one’ that has experienced something, especially embarrassing or so called ‘shameful’ experiences that are common among parenting.
3. Alisa and Rufus seem to have a very Pecha Kucha style talk. They use a great array of slides that are perfectly incorporated into their talk. With all of their ‘Taboos’ they make sure to have pictures of the truth and the fakes. It gives such a good visual that perfectly captivates the audience’s attention right of the height of Alisa and Rufus’ important points.
4. This video matters in regards to the human need for an external support system. As humans, we all have such intense emotions, it is always important to make sure we have a way to vent to someone else and get valid advice, it keeps us sane. For me this video is very relevant to my TED topic, it helped me narrow down my topic on domestic relations. To education, such complete honesty and the ability to vocalize problems would eliminate ‘the elephant in the room’ form many important situations. As to the world; parenting is one part of life that is much farther behind all other things in the modern world. It would be absolutely amazing if even the littlest aspects of parenting could be improved.
