452 Words2 Pages
On April 6, 2016, I watched the TED Talk of Susan Cain, a retired Wall Street lawyer and currently an author. She discussed that introverts and extroverts should be treated equally and that introverts should be given the same respect and acceptance as extroverts do. Specifically, she claimed that introverts are degraded for their characteristics and people should be more understanding of those traits because it does not make them any less than extroverts. As she said, “…the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.” If introverts were given the opportunity to prove how smart or proficient they are, then they could bring great ideas to the table. Although some people believe that extroverts have qualities that make them better at situations than introverts, Cain insisted that introverts can also do those same elements and even superior than extroverts if they were given the chance to show it. She stated that there needs to be a balance between the two personalities to support that if introverts were given possibility to do things extroverts then they could reveal their intelligence. In addition, she states that people who are the most creative also have introversion in them exhibiting that even the greatest people can be introverts.
