After watching the TED talk from Elaine Lui, identify the following pieces of information in a blog post:

• Broad topic of the talk
• Issues and/or problems related to the topic
• The speaker's main idea (Lui's thesis)
• The broad subtopics
• The specific examples
• Lui's reasoning and conclusion

Please construct a complete paragraph that addresses each of the items listed above. Also, please generate a list of broad topics that you are interested in/passionate about that could be synthesized into a focus point for discussion. We will be referencing pages 61-88 in the book Everyone's an Author over the course of the next few weeks.
