    I thought that this video was beneficial because it made a great (and funny) point about how stupid the pay gap is. One thing I would take into consideration though is that this seems to be very left-winged, maybe there are some political bias's in place here?

    Because the gender equality is not equal it must be equal

    I think that this clip from John Oliver's show was incredibly funny and smart. He not only got his point across in proving that the wage gap is real and citing multiple other sources, but he made it interesting and funny at the same time. This is beneficial because instead of being a 'boring article' that some might not have any interest in reading, this is a video that keeps the audience engaged and still educates them on the subject. It does activate emotion, but in my opinion it is in a beneficial and positive way.
