Worksheet for Lecture Exercise 4 – Critiquing Presentations

They create an interesting conundrum: they deliver a lot of useful and interesting information but they are often quite obtuse, full of jargon, and presented with an assumption of baseline knowledge on the part of their audience. Go to https://www.ted.com/talks and where it says “Topics” on the drop down menus, select “See all topics.” From here, you can choose a social science field (such as sociology, psychology, anthropology) to see which videos categorized as such.
Which topic did you choose:
