Uddrag
The organization enlists artists of the highest quality and chooses thought-provoking content with an eye into what might speak to this particular audience.

In this case, the receivers of the speech are people who know of Driver. “Emotionally, I struggled to find meaning.

In the civilian world there's no rank. Here you're just another body, and I felt like I constantly had to prove my worth all over again.”

They have come to see him deliver the TED talk and therefore they might have an interest in him. The receivers are also the ones who have been in the military.

They want to see and hear, that there is a life after even though it might not look like it in the beginning. By including his personal story in the speech, he creates a high amount of pathos.

The listener is left with a feeling of both hope and sympathy. Most people have had the feeling of them not fitting in and that they would never do. Driver gives people hope for the future and connects with the crowd on a higher personal level.
