Vihar Desu Tedx Talk Title: Divergent Thinking in the 21st Century Good Afternoon‚ I wanted to start of the talk with a little thought experiment called Divergence Thinking Test.

In "The Minister’s Black Veil"‚ the main character Mr. Hooper‚ who at first was a well liked

Dave Pink’s Ted Talk reminded me of Ivan Pavlov’s conditional reflex theory; I believe sometimes in order to get a person motivated to do something‚ an incentive must be presented.
