This week we watched a ted talk and it was really interesting how this TED talked related tragedy to the rest of the talk. The majority of the talk wasn't centered around tragedy, but talked about society. I liked this TED talk because I was able to relate what I am learning in my sociology class to the video. In sociology we go into the development of society, and how society interacts with culture, the people within different cultures, and the people. During the TED talk I heard a lot of familiar words like "status" and "roles", so it was nice to be able to connect two of my classes. This TED talked about how a loss doesn't necessarily make a person a loser. So big picture, there is a difference between a small loss, and the overall view of life. And I thought that was important because within tragedy there are different types of tragedy. Perspective ties the two concepts together. For example a B could be an amazing grade to one student, but be considered a failure to another student. While in tragedy you have to know the perspective of whoever is telling the story. Perspective changes everything.
