This week we had to compare 2 video and show the similarity and contrast between each other. So the two videos we were assigned to do a review on were Amy Tan’s where does creativity hides and Seth Godin’s how to get your ideas to spread.


Seth Godin explains people who can spread ideas would win over those who have unique ideas. By simply buying ideas, and broadcasting it on the television is not enough; they have to find remarkable ways to attract attention. This is because in this world where time is precious, people easily ignore the stuff. In the olden days, marketers only concentrated on the average people and get easily ignored by them; but nowadays, marketers concentrate on a particular group of people and from there the demand is raised. This is due to the passion of the consumers. Seth Godin ends his talk by saying we should take risks and be remarkable.

Amy tan explains to us that we should notice the disturbing hints that constantly repeat in our life; and how we should always question them. She starts with moral ambiguity, and tries to find answers for everything, as she believes everything is uncertain. These answers she finds is what she thinks is imagine and has a lot to do with feeling.
 The contrast between the 2 videos are that Seth Godin’s talk tells that we should ignore the ideas that a repetitively thrown at us and create new ideas or simply direct those ideas to people who would listen more, whereas, Amy tan video explains how we should question why those things or situation and make it better.

 The similarity of Amy tan’s talk and Seth Godin’s talk is that both speakers shows us how we should never stop having the ability to associate issues or simple matters with creativity and questions. For example, Seth Godin explains it by associating it with commercials; and how simple ideas don’t attraction attention anymore. On the other hand, Amy Tan associates most of her experience in an interesting and vivid questions.

In conclusion, i agree with both speaker that we should be remarkable and question everything we experience. I think in generation where everything is done quickly, its is important to stand out to make a leaving; and i feel that it will open our minds to chances  if we were to  question the things aroung us as well/
