This week I participated for the first time in a Ted x event in Verona. It was a religious experience. For someone like me who had already been addicted to Ted talks for a few years now (I consume between 5 – 20 talks a week), being part of this information sharing, up- close and in person, was enormously exiting and extremely emotional.

A lot of my lesson material is aided by this community sharing tool. there’re frequently  new points of view or a research that contradicts everything we thought so far about a subject. it helps make the lessons much more interesting and gives a fresh lick of paint to the old ‘classic’ conversation subjects.

This week, it’s all about letting loose and giving in to one of the most basic of human needs: ‘the need to blame someone else’.

Some great research in social psychology was done on the subject of the fundamental attribution error, and why we engage in it with such vigor,  But the bottom line is: it’s in our nature, we do it all the time, it’s common in all cultures and hey… it’s very liberating!

So, we’ll be blaming our fellow participants for things. starting with  from  small issues (like a broken vase) to the most ridiculous (like world hunger). And of course, we’ll also learn how to defend ourselves with passion from false accusations and deflect the blame by ‘passing the buck’ to someone more worthy…

(or just less fortunate).
