Distortion Reversal

Definitions:
Distortion- the use of words in a manner that deviates from its original meaning
Reversal- To show something as the opposite of what it is normally is.

Example:
Distortion- Telling someone, "If you were smart, you would have all A's" In reality, smart means having or showing a quick-witted intelligence.
Reversal- A young child in a family makes all of the major decisions for the family.  Normally, the oldest person in the family would make these kinds of decisions.

It's a video about Africans helping Norwegians by sending them radiators because it is cold there.  Most of the time, people are helping people in Africans because of their living conditions.
