- Is this topic relatable to you? Why or why not?
- What effect does Urban’s use of humor have on the message in the video? Do you think humor is an effective device for making an argument about something? Why or why not?
- In your opinion, what is the primary take-away of the message in this video? In other words, what lesson can be learned from Urban’s message?
- Feel free to add any additional thoughts or comments.
