“How reliable is your memory”

The main point of the speaker is that it is very possible to change the memory of a person, especially when something being said is supported with a lot of details and also said in a more confidence manner. The speaker gives an example of having the military wrongly identifying the interrogator simply because they were provided with information which sounded more real to them. This means that it is very possible to change what people have in mind, through the way we say what we want them to understand.

The speaker made use of ethos in her speech by making it clear she had studied memory psychology, and specifically in things people can remember. Her research and experiments on different group of people helps in enabling the audience see the credibility in her information. The idea of also giving familiar examples like father chrismal also helps the audience to relate some of the things they believe in, and to what extent the belief they have created tend to affect the future generation.

The speaker builds pathos in her speech by sharing stories which evokes sympathy among the audience. She talks about Steve Titus whose life completely changed when he got arrested after receiving false accusation on a rape case. This made him lose his job, his family and he was also psychologically tortured. He later on died due to a heart attack related disease. The description on the effects of negative impacts which arise from having the thoughts of people changed was one method the speaker used in making the audience understand the concept better.

One of the things I leaned from the talk is that it is very possible to change the mind of the person, depending on the emphasis placed on the shared information. Another thing is that what we believe in highly determines how we act in response to certain events. If I was to ask the speaker a question in relation to the shared information, my question would be what should be done in helping people distinguish what is true or false.
