- No matter how culturally sensitive, we all say things that hurt others even when coming from a place of good intensions. Let’s speak up in a forgiving tone about words that hurt, own our imperfections in phrasing, and continually grow to be more cultural competence.

This was a great talk. But audio was too low so I used closed captioning. I would like to share it with some colleagues and am wondering if I can get a copy of it with better audio. Any ideas?
Audio needs to be raised -- this is a good talk but cannot hear it!
The intention is to share a wonderful talk. the impact is frustration cause we can't hear it. It's an experiential video lol
Audio is unwatchable low.

No. Intent matters, and impact does not.
Being offended is a choice.
false. Next question
Even if you look at it that way, once sometime expresses they are offended if you do anything but acknowledge the negative impact your good intentions had you now do not have a good intention. Because you’re intending to disregard the hurt this person experienced by your original intentions… you don’t “choose” to be offended any more than you “choose” to hurt someone by accident with good intentions.. because what someone finds offensive is shaped by their life experiences like culture, social class, trauma and childhood in conjunction with somatic responses like muscle tension or lump in throat or tears welling. Because we do not choose every influence that creates our emotions and gauge of offense, we do not just “choose”. When someone chooses to ignore the negative feelings they initially feel even if caused by someone’s good intentions they are now repressing those feelings and created a build up of emotional trauma.
