The speaker of this video is George Lucas, which is the creator of Star Wars and it is in Aug 12, 2013, Washington D.C. George Lucas talk about his life experience and the advice for entrepreneurs and students for about 11 minutes long.

He want his audience could accept his suggestion and makes his suggestion be helpful for his audience in future. He always give suggestion after he give a story of his successful life experience. For example, He suggested his audience “do what your parent don’t want you to do but do it inside you” because he is succeed in film industry but his father didn’t want him to do this.

    In David Foster Wallace’s graduation speech, given to the Kenyon College graduating class of 2005, Wallace urges the audience to seek a more open minded perspective on the world. Arguing that societies “default setting” is that of pure self-centered thinking, Wallace strives to change the way we all view life before us. He states that liberal education teaches one, not how to think (as most believe), but rather teaches one the ability to choose how we want to think. We are presented with the choice to decipher every situation the way we want to view it; whether that be positive or negative, we are given the decision to choose how we would like to view it. This decision dictates how we see the world as a whole,…

    Friday, May 25, 1977, Memorial Day weekend opens with an intergalactic bang as the first of George Lucas' blockbuster Star Wars movies hits American theaters, and the world was never the same. Whether you are a fan of the double trilogy or not, there is no doubt the series has permeated our society. Ranging from simple references in shows or movies to all kinds of memorabilia, Star Wars is an unavoidable phenomenon that will most certainly continue living on for a long time. The use of Star Wars in American culture has helped to define culture in terms of new markets, the formation of a cultural community, and what it means to be modern in culture and society. George Lucas started his production company Lucasfilm Limited for the production of Star Wars, this in turn led to a new market and the creation of different companies, all with a pedigree leading back to Lucasfilm Limited and Star Wars.
