Coffee vs Energy drinks Summary

In my paper Coffee vs Energy Drinks, I explained which one is more efficient and beneficial. After many hours of research, I gathered information about each beverage and contrasted the two in many ways. I talked about what each beverage contains and how the ingredients can help a person with day to day tasks. I also went over the positive and negative aspects of each. Throughout researching, I found better ways that coffee can provide just as much energy as energy drinks, if not more but in a healthier way. All in all, I compared the two in several ways which help the reader have a better understanding of these two beverages.

How to spot a liar

In the Ted talk, “How to spot a liar” Pamela Meyer explains that everyone including yourself is a liar. Throughout the ted talk she presents 2 of the most used patterns to spot a liar. The first sign she introduced was by someones speech. The main signs to look for through someones speech are people who are extremely in denial and also when they change the subject. The second sign of a liar is ones body language. The most important signs to look for are, to much eye contact and a fake smile. Pamela Meyer describes the many ways to spot signs of lying by using several examples and ways she feels are key to spot liars. 

In my opinion, this Ted talk was very interesting. A lot of the Ted talks I watched previous to this one were very boring to me. However, when I found this Ted talk I didn’t want to stop watching it. I learned many different ways to spot a liar such as certain types of head shakes, gestures and expressions. Now that I know so many different ways to spot a liar I’m going to start trying it out on people. This Ted talk was very informational and she used a great process to present her speech.
