Problem
A. After watching Pete McGraw's Ted Talk, answer the following questions: We are all part of a variety of groups in our lives ranging from family to classmates to club members and coworkers among others. They all have opportunities for stress and conflict. How does humor help us deal with those issues? How do we work to strengthen the sense of humor for ourselves and others?
B. Many leaders who wish to remove corruption from a society, focus on arresting corrupt people and having them punished by the criminal justice system. They claim you cannot help a developing nation grow and improve the lives of its citizens until you first remove corruption. Efosa Ojomo from Nigeria turns this idea on its head. Watch the 11 minute 37 second video then answer the following questions:
• What other scarce resources do developing nations around the world experience? What can be learned from Nigeria and South Korea to change lives in other nations? How can we educate and promote people about this concept? What about his speech do you disagree with and why? What did you find surprising?
