Ted Talks

In the Ted Talk, "How to Spot a liar"  Pamela Meyer shows us how you can find out that most, if not everyone is a liar. As she explains her reasoning throughout the video, she shows 2 main ways of how looks for lies. The first way was looking at someones speech. People that tend to be in denial or change the subject very frequently is an example of things she looks for. The second thing that Pamela looks at is body language. She says that the most important things to look for while in the midst of a conversation would be a lot of eye contact, and also look for a fake smile. Overall i feel as this video really hits it spot on with her ways of spotting liars. She shows a few good examples and really pushes her thoughts.

At the end of the day, compared to the other Ted Talks that I have watched in the past, I enjoyed this much more because than most others. I found an easy way to connect and go through situations where I can say "Wow someone did do this now that I think about it" or "Wow he was acting nervous now that I think about it". This video will help me with spotting out people lying in the future thanks to this Ted Talk and I'm very happy about that. She was very smooth with delivering her points and examples and everything seemed to flow very well. I enjoyed this Ted Talk very much!
