INHERENTLY HUMAN #35

Aden Debord, 21, and Jim Newman, 73, engage in a philosophical discussion of the benefits of expressing deep emotions quickly and clearly as an aid to communication. Actors, of course, train to display a multitude of emotions with great ease and clarity. Aden suggests that perhaps the average man or woman becomes an actor too, though with the goal of concealing true emotions behind a mask. The two friends agree that, as ironic as that theory is, it's probably true. Aden is facing his senior year at Portland State University. His focus won't be on acting or entertainent but on helping people. Jim and Aden talk about remarkable technologies available to help care givers save lives.
