Perfect Momments

The Podcast "Perfect Moments" by Brian Finkelstein talked about a suicide line prevention job, in a humorous tone. Something that is hard to make funny. Brian manages to make the tone humorous as well as engaging and relatable as well, in the way that most people can understand on some level to Brians personal dilemmas and stories. In his podcast, he mentions that there is a policy in regards to giving help to those that call the hotline. The policy is that the workers on the phones are only allowed to ask if the caller wants help, prior to receiving it. This is most likely a way of asking for their permission and consent, and I personally believe that this is justifiable and right to do. Reason being that; 1. you need to get consent before doing something for somebody else, and 2. this ensures that the person calling truly does want and need help. One can argue that it's immoral because what if you could have saved someone's life by calling the authorities immediately? I believe that it's still not for you to intervene if someone is doing something to themselves, even if it is harming themselves. The best way to help is to ask and listen to them. When documenters of animal wildlife shows go out to film these animals in their natural habitat, their not allowed to go in and rescue animals that are starving or being killed, because that's not their place to do so.

I think this podcast relates to our research papers that we are all currently writing right now because it shows how tone, deliverance, and personality can make an impact on your content. I can see how the author from the podcast relates himself as well as others to the stories he tells, making the story feel relatable. Good story writing and telling are important in making anything stand out.
