Interactive Oral Presentation

Caption: Old cartoons were not as violent as nowadays's cartoons.

 

What have I learnt in class: There are a higher levels of physical agression in childrens programmes ,also that the children usually tended to copy the negative behaviour they see on the television.

 Supportive information for internet(1): 

(...)"assessing the mode of violent acts portrayed in Looney Tunes slapstick cartoons, the researchers found that in 1930s ,out of 317 violent acts ,312 or 98.42%  portrayed physical violence and five or 1.58% portrayed psychological violence. Next, in 1940s 500 or 93.11% out of 537 violent acts were physical violence,nine or 1.67% were verbal  violence,ten or 1.86%    were lethal violence and 18 or 3.55% were psychological violence."(...)

Supportive information for internet(2):

(...)" Kids who watch cartoons like  "Scooby Doo" are more likely to experience sleep disturbance than kids who watch "Curious George."(...)

(...)" Why the difference? Per the researchers, the difference relates to the amount of violence in the one set of shows versus the other. Old Scooby is actually quite violent, Curious George not so much. In “Bugs Bunny,” the characters are always slapping each other around. In “Dora the Explorer,” barely ever".(...)

Opinion: I think that old cartoons have the same violent level as nowadays(both have violent contents).

Important Ideas:

1)The principal reason that affects children be violent are the television programmes.

2)The violence in old cartoons is the same that the new cartoons, but in the new cartoons is more easy identify the violence than the old cartoons.

3)The most famous cartoon shows are violent or are a bad influence (The Simpsons , Looney Toones , Dragon Ball, etc).

Dear Sir/Madame:

I am writing this letter to request a complain about the television show "The Roadrunner and The Coyote", because is too violent and agressive for childrens.

Last week, my young brother start watching "The Roadrunner and The Coyote" and I notice that he began to had anxiety and some serious behaviour problems causing fights with some kids ,also my brother have aggressives answers when someone make him angry, furthermore he began to annoy his friends make them look ridiculous.

I strongly suggest that you need to change the violent aspects in this cartoon show, if this solution it doesn't apply I will tell to my parents and my brother friends parents that "The Roadrunner and The Coyote" are a bad influence to childrens.

I look foward to recieve your solution.

Opinion Piece (Tattoos)

                                                      Ethnicity and Tattoos


          In my view the people who has tattoos doesn't need to be judged if his tattoo is a reference of his culture, way of thinking or art expressions.

          First if the boss or the superior doesn't want to hire a guy for his tattoo and that tattoo is part of their religion or culture ,will be a descrimination and a lack of respect for their culture , nevertheless this can be punished for the law and they will get in a big problem.

          A example of the idea who was mention before are rhe maori culture, that they tattoo their face and body for tell about a message of their knowledge, standing in their social life and the family genealogy, moreover they still doing this tattos for represent the ideas mention before and for the respect of their history.

          In addition , the tattoos at the old times , it mean that the guy was in jail or were a criminal , or even both , and the people from today keep that thinking in mind when now is just a way to express your beliefs , culture or/and for show your art.

          In conclussion a person does not have to be judged by a tattoo , because will probably mean something important for he or their culture , they need be judged by their personality.

Heart of Darkness summery 44-49(Chapter 2)

The journey became strange because Marlow think that is in a dream , he is cut off from all understanding of the world and feels like he has no memories ,also he finds himself identifying with the Africans natives hiding out in the bush , then Marlow start to talk about a cannibal fireman on board , he is the kind of fireman that start fires , not the kind of fireman that put them out , the fireman has been told that if the water in the boiler ever disappears the evil spirit inside will take revenge , that is how they make him work.Fifty miles before they arrive at the Inner station , they run across a pile of firewood and a wrning message "Approach cautiously",but Marlow and company continue foward , then they find an abondoned hut with a book inside.It`s entitled "An inquiry into some Points of Seamanship" and in a very bad conditions. Even though Marlow doesn`t understand it , it comforts him. It gives him more reality in what is happening in there.At sun down of the second day , they decide to stop and rest because the manager was very tired , the night stiil eerily. At dawn , a thick fog falls and they cannot see anything they hear persons shouting somewhere in the fog in resume they are freaking out.

Heart of Darkness summery 38-43(Chapter 2)

 Marlow hears the manager and his uncle talking about something interesting (is about Kurtz), they think that he is stealing ivory, Kurtz came down the river to send the ivory to the company but then decided to turn back, however we can deduce that Marlow have an a obsession with Kurtz because he think that is anadmirable person .Marlow keep listening the conversation until the tells to the manager about the scary wilderness in Africa , Marlow get very scared of that , soon the Eldorado Exploring Expedition leaves. Marlow get inform that all their donkeys die so he deduce that the mens die too then it takes teo months of going up river through the scary forest to reach Kurtz`s station , the trip was so scary that Marlow describes it as traveling back to the beginning of time , before the dawn mankind also he feels tiny in compare of the forest.They have cannibals on board , but they don`t eat someone now for respect for their employers so they eat rotten hippo meat ,also Marlow in this moment get really obsessed about Kurtz.

What is Imperialism?

1.- Imperialism is the formation and maintenance of empires, either through direct territorial control or through indirect methods of political control and economy of other countries , also imperialism is used by the most powerful nations on the weakers for extract resources, in other words is an attitude and doctrine of those who practice the extension of the domain of one country over another by military forces , economic or political.

2.- What do you know about imperialism in Africa?

 I know that the powerfull contries in that time colonize Africa like the Britian , France , Belgium , Germany ,  Portugal , Spain, Italy , etc. Also I know that France have more colonies in Africa than the others and that the natives in Africa suffer very much when they arrive because the European overexploit and abuse the african people using they by slave , destroying their land and treat them like animals.

3.- What is your opinion about imperialism? is it fair or unfair?
 
 My opinion is that the imperialism is unfair , because the powerfull contries abuse the weaker ones and they use their power to destroy lands , the morality of the natives and also they kill the natives using them by slave or for do the hard work that anyone want to do without giving food or a break. In conclusion the powerfull contries just give troube to the natives in all the world , but also they give to they some consciences about world.
 

Opinion piece (cumulative part 2)

Alternative medicine the best way to cure insomia

 I think that the best way to cure the insomnia is the alternative medicine because the insomnia is more a psychologicl problem than a disease . The insomnia consist on sleeping problems and in my view the conventional medicine will not help in this disease.

 First the alternative medicine in the insomnia not only the patient doesn`t take any risks , but also it is cheaper than conventional medicine and can be free if you use home remedies , like eat lettuce at night , don`t sleep during the day , etc. The patient will think that conventional medicine it`s better because they have professionals and remedies that will cure it , but it`s not true the remedies cn provide secundary effects like sleepwalking , amnesia , vomit , etc.

 Second if you don't want or you don`t have time to dde the home remedies the patient can go to a psychologhy that depending of the type of the insonia that you got will take longer if is dangerous , also you can take an anti-stress massage that will probabily cure it instantly, this treatments are cheaper and will not take too much.

 Finally I think an I sure that it that this medicine is the best way to cure this disease because it don't take to long , is cheaper and it is secure thus will give the patient more confience and satisfaction.

Heart of darkness summery 30-37

The brick maker comes back and explaining everything to Marlow that he wants to be assistant manager and Kurtz’s presence has messed it up. He wants Marlow and his connections to help him out.Marlow allows the brick maker to think that he actually has influence in Europe just to get more information about Kurtz.While the brick maker start to talk about the problem, Marlow stops listening and becomes fascinated by the eerily silent forest in front of him.Marlow start to talk about that he hates lies very much.Suddenly, Marlow stops the narrative to the men aboard the Nellie. He says the listeners are lucky because they can "see" more of the story than he could when he was experiencing it all since it has now fallen dark aboard the Nellie and the listeners cannot see Marlow or each other ,then he get back to the story. His objective is to repair the steamboat, which requires rivets, and get on his way.When Marlow finally tells this to the brickmaker, the guy stops sucking up and changes the topic , something about a hippo that scare the men at night.After this, Marlow runs into the foreman sitting on the deck. They dance madly because they think rivets are coming in three weeks, but it turns out no rivets are coming.Instead of rivets, the Eldorado Exploring Expedition, a renegade group arrives. They are led by the manager’s uncle who are with his nephew. Marlow hate them both ,Marlow thinks Kurtz is better than both of them.
