For the NYT Opinions Article it begins with an story of a father describing his daughter as a follower rather than a leader, then transitions into how every one trys to be a leader to fill college reumes.]]> 2020-12-03 16:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984560091 822375 https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984569224 Ted Talk: She starts her presentation by discussing and joking about a mistake.Throughout her speech, she promotes being open to failure and mistakes and the importance of being able to admit when you are wrong. Unlike the NYT opinion piece, the Ted Talk took a lot longer to get to the main point and for the speaker to make her opinion clear. She introduced her argument with a more drawn out story and context.
NYT Piece: The NYT piece began with a story of a girl whose dad admitted in a college application process that his daughter was not the "leader" type. In this piece. the author argued that colleges are too interested in looking for strong leaders when in reality, its the behind-the-scenes members of society that are equally as important, if not more. The author also stresses that because the idea of leadership has been put on such a high pedestal in our society, too many people who aren't fit to be leaders are trying to act as one anyways.]]> 2020-12-03 16:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984569224 822442 https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984569381 Ted Talk: She starts with a general story about how she interpreted a sign wrong, explaining that feeling of embarrassment you feel when you are wrong. She highoights how from a young age we are taught that the kid that recieves a bad grade is "lazy" or "dumb," instead of someone who is trying to figure things out and makign normal mistakes. Society creates this stigma that mistakes are failures not learning curves that allow us to grow even more.
NYT opinion piece: She enters into the conversation when she talks about the college application process and how it breeds type A individuals. She highlights how the world wouldn't be able to function without followers, the people doing the little things behind the scenes. In a world where leadership has been generalized, people are know leading for the wrong reasons, the majority of the time being selfish add ons to their common app.

She thought it was very important to be open to other ideas and to be able to acknowledge when you are wrong. The New York Times article she starts by also using an example from someone else and expanding on her idea by using someone else's point of view to support what she was saying.]]> 2020-12-03 16:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984569929 https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984570603 In the TedTalk she began by relating being wrong to a personal story about the picnic signs. She introduces the audience and other peoples opinion about being wrong as the context. She made the argument that being wrong is not embarrassing, but realizing you are wrong is what causes those feelings of embarrassment. She wants to urge society to not fear being wrong and that is okay. In the article she enters by using an example of another persons college application experience. She uses the context of society forcing students to believe that they have to be the president of every club and be a leader to get accepted into college. Her point of view was that it sometimes being a follower is good, the world needs more of them because not everyone can be a leader. ]]> 2020-12-03 16:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984570603 https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984571138
The TED talk starts by using an example/displaying evidence of an error that the speaker made herself (mistaking the picnic symbol for a chinese character) than immediatly taking a stance on their subject; it's okay to be wrong. By doing so she adopts less of a lecturing tone and more of an explanatory tone. The NYT article starts more by taking a stance by declaring the importance of followers and then following their declaration up with reasoning and evidence.]]> 2020-12-03 16:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984571138 https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984574026 The Ted Talk speech started with the speaker giving context to a story about a symbol on a picnic table. She used that to ease into her point that it's okay to be wrong.
The NYT article gets to the point much sooner than the Ted Talk by taking a stance right away. The context in this article was how some people used to desire to be a follower instead of a leader, and some colleges would even prefer it.]]> 2020-12-03 16:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/clopez29/q18b8adwdsmocm8u/wish/984574026
