1. What are your take aways from this video?
This video has many very inspiration things to take away from when watching it. One very important one is Mullen's idea of beauty. In our society beauty is overdone and overworked from shows like America's Next Top Model. However, Mullen's idea of beauty is the potential inside of us. She was born without legs, and has set her life on making many different types of prosthetic legs for people like her. She said in her video, "It's not about overcoming a disability, it's making a conversation about potential." She is very inspirational because with her "12 pairs of legs" she is able to model, to be an athlete, and to do virtually anything that a person with legs could do. I take away from this video that beauty is not about creating an image that is all too stereotyped, but instead creating your image out of the potential you know you have.
2. What are the speakers effective speaking techniques?
The speaker got very emotional in her speech, and she was very connecting with the audience. She showed a few pairs of legs that she had and it allowed the audience to see what she was taqlking about.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
Her presentation style was emotional and she had material objects to show the audience as well as many powerpoint images.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to your personally? To education? To the world?
This video has a huge concept that is very important to understand; beauty. Mullens talks about her experience with beauty, and her definition connects to me personally when she says that "It's our humanity and all the potential in us that makes us beautiful". She tells us that she, with her legs, has five different height options. She connects with the world by trying to show them insight that her beauty may not be what is on television, but it's the one inside her that created the legs for her and other people like her to create their own beauty. It connects to education in a sense that we may not be being taught the definitions of the subjects that are most alive in our world today, like beauty. This is a very inspiration video that showed that disabilities are not something to "overcome" but something to embrace and make your own.
