While I was listening to the podcasts “An Equation for Good” and “Secrets of Success”, I took notes on all the questions that were asked throughout the podcast. The speaker would ask many main questions and add little question off of it in order to find an answer. When you are trying to find answer to something you ask the big question and then smaller ones. One example would be “what restaurant do you want to go to?” that would be the big question and the little ones would be “what kind of food do you want?” or “what kind of atmosphere?”. In order for a human to answer one questions, they need some supporting information and to get that they may ask you more questions. In the podcast “An Equation for Good”, they ask the big question “how can we explain why people go out of their way to help a stranger?” and in “Secrets of Success”, they ask the question “is there a secret to success?”. Both of these questions are open-ended questions. An open-ended question cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”. These questions require more thought. In these podcasts, I thought listened to how many open-ended questions they asked. They would ask one big open-ended questions and add little ones off of it. When it comes to open-ended questions, you could never stop talking. If you were in a group of people and no one was talking, say an open-ended question like “How do I go about with purchasing a home?”. People will put their own input in and they also many ask other smaller questions like “where are you looking for a home?”, “what kind of home?” or “Who is you real-estate agent?”. Each of these questions bring back to the main question. They each have a purpose in finding their wat back to the main topic. I NEED HELP ON THIS….
