My speaking mentor reviewed a first draft of my speech. He said that though my statistics support my argument, I should also include some anecdotes, too. This research suggests that I should lead with an anecdote and then follow with a statistic. Thanks. These are compelling findings! My speaking mentor reviewed a first draft of my speech.

There are various explanations for this, but one possible explanation is that we feel less empathy when more people are involved. I just found this article:

Your reason may well be valid, but it doesn't disprove the reason that I offered. Without further research we cannot know which reason is more important in getting people to respond. Olivia Hi Tony

You equate the number of people around the world who die of a particular disease with the number of people who all died on the same day at the same place. There can be no comparison. Such devastating circumstances deserve a massive response and they get it, not becasuse of the "emotional footage" but rather because people are smart enough to realise the dramatic effect such a catastophy has on the infrastructure and support services at the affected location. Your logic is flawed. “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
