TEDTalk response 3

Daniel Pink

What I have taken away from this video is that people work harder and try faster if they have a reward. This matters to the world because people will work hard if they have a reward, the problem with this is that each reward is personal to each person if someone from India is being paid the same as someone in New York, The person in New York will not work as hard because it doesn't pay his or her bill, it may be more than enough for people in India so they will give anything for that job. There is something that can argue with this point. If people are payed more and more they won't work as hard because they feel as though the money can provide for them so they don't need anymore. They won't try and get a raise or a better job because everything is already comfortable. In schools it is grades rather than money. Students try and get the teacher to like them to get a good grade, does that happen in the workplace? If students are placed in a class where they have to put in no work but still get 100%, doesn't that seem the same as being put in a workplace where you can relax while receiving a decent salary? They don't earn it, the same as kids who can work the school system to get into a good college. For most people this works, doesn't that seem wrong, like nobody is earning anything?
His presentation style is like a lawyer. He is presenting his case or his beliefs and the jury or audience can believe it, understand it, and act upon it in their own way.
He uses a lot of inflection in his voice for when it gets serious he moves his hands and slows down a little to make sure that the audience understands and pays attention to his words.
This matters to the world because we need to keep our workers honest. People around the world would work hard and diligent and earn their money, people need to earn what they recieve
