 Advantages and Drawbacks (Disadvantages/Obstacles) for Teamwork

We have listened to the testimonies of three pupils on teamwork. According to them, teamwork has many advantages, such as it could be easier for shy people to speak in a small group rather than a bigger one. Moreover, it is a tool to make new friends. On top of that, people can share things that they would not have thought about if they were alone. It is also an opportunity to talk with other people. Eventually, teamwork can teach valuable skills when everyone is willing to listen to one another.

However, it could be challenging to work in a group. As for example, it could be hard to communicate with everyone. It also could be hard to see eye-to-eye with everyone, hard to understand or to agree on the same points with them. Finally, sometimes, people in the group do not listen to everyone all the time, therefore it could be frustrating.

 P!nk – What About Us?

The document under study is a song by the famous American singer and songwriter P!nk, released in 2017. The song is entitled “What about Us”.

It is a protest song because the goal of this song is not only to entertain but also to give a message to the US citizens and the government. In fact, at the beginning of the music video, we can hear a governor’s speech saying “God bless America”. However, in the music video, we can see that people seem to be left alone by their government, that politicians are not doing what they say in their speeches, therefore, through this video, P!nk is asking for real help and consideration from the leaders in the name of the citizens. In the music video she is addressing the US citizens through the pronoun “we” she speaks for everyone and she even involves herself in this process. Moreover, she is also addressing the US government through the pronoun “you”. She is accusing them of not taking care of the citizens.

To conclude, she is calling all the US citizens to fight for a change through the sentence “Are you ready?” She wants to show the government that the US citizens are in a predicament as they are seen like a problem and not as humans. She is calling citizens to rebel against the government, to make their voices heard. Besides, the fact that she is a famous singer, the impact of her message can reach higher grounds.

In her song she uses the pronoun “we” to speak for everyone, the people in general, but precisely the ones who are suffering from political injustice. She is addressing people who placed their hopes in politicians’ promises.

The images of the video show people being tormented, suffering because of the situation. The tone is stressful, people look anxious. We can feel the pain through the dancers Moreover, as she is also dancing with them, she shows how she is involved. She has a powerful voice that reaches everyone and can have an impact in higher grounds.

The pronoun “you”, at first, is for the government as she is blaming them for their broken promises.

But then, at the end of the song when she sings “are you ready?” she is asking people if they are ready to rebel against the government. She wants to make people aware of the injustice and that they have the right to make their voices heard.

To conclude, this song is to denounce the disappointment people have in their government. P!ink is expressing her judgement on the situation in America. She is saying everyone is a victim and is being fooled by the politicians.

In America, sport plays a big role, they even have cheerleaders.

Indeed, in American schools, there are several sport teams and everybody is supporting them. On top of that, students athletes are  very popular.

While in Great Britain, sport is not very popular. They may have a small soccer team.

To finish with, in some states in America, students are not allowed to bring their bagpacks to school as some of them may bring a weapon in school. In fact, they want to avoid any school shootings. Therefore, students have to put all their belongings in their lockers. As a consequence, they need to carry their books in their arms and bring them from one class to the other.

We have learned that she would carry the baby for a foreign couple from a Western country. She would then receive a fixed sum of money. Before that, she had to sign a lawful contract to give the baby to their parents in due time.

Moreover, the couple would take care of her pregnancy, that is to say, they would pay for all her medical and diet expenses.

On top of that, Sarita decided to go away from her village because she wanted to be followed by better-qualified doctors in the big city. Besides, she wanted to hide from her community in order to not to be ostracized.

The relationship between Sarita and the foreign couple was positive, they got on well. They went with her to her medical appointments. When the baby was born all of them were overjoyed to share this important moment.

To conclude, the advantages of surrogacy is that families that struggle to have kids can still experience the joy to become parents. It is better than adoption as their children will share their genetic patrimony. On the side of the surrogate mother, she can earn good money to improve her lifestyle.

Nevertheless, it could be hard for the surrogate not to feel emotional attachment with the baby before letting them go away. To finish with, this process can be very expensive.

The evolution of this music style can be defines through different dates. In fact, in the 1970s in the USA, the first listeners were mainly African-American teenagers. At the time, rap was considered as a kind of street art. Then in 1979, music labels started to produce rappers and sell their music. Rap found its place in the music industry. In the 1980s, there was a shift I the style: before it was mainly African-American male rappers, however, at that time white rappers and female performers started to emerge.

Finally, in the 1990s, rap music evolved from old school style to new school style. That is to say, rap music of the 1990s had more complex lyrics and we could hear and see it more in the music industry.

To conclude, we can say that rap is a form of storytelling because artists use it to tell their stories to be heard by people. For example, for black people in America, who have a harsh or unfair background, they can tell their stories by rapping as they could not do it otherwise. Eventually, we can also say that rap is a form of rebellion because the topics are thought-provoking, controversial and burning ones. Artists use their talent to denounce unfair situations that can happen in today’s society.

 A Booming Business

The document under study is an extract from an article published in The Guardian Weekly on December 30^th 2009. It is about an Indian woman named Sarita who became a surrogate mother. Indeed, she came from a poor family of farmers and when she was 16, she had to marry a 31-year-old man to take care of her. Her dream was to become a teacher however, it could never happen because of a lack of money.

In this extract, we learn that she is married and still lives in a poor situation since her husband earns not enough money / a low income. On top of that, they have children to take care of. Therefore, after trying to find a job, her last option was to become a surrogate mother in order to earn more money to sustain the needs of her family. Moreover, she wanted to give her children better prospects and a better future.

Nevertheless, at first, her husband was strongly against and very angry with this decision. Indeed, he was scared about what people from their community would think about her as she could be rejected/ostracized/excluded, seen as an outcast. Or people could be jealousy because they would earn a lot of money.

Eventually (at the end), her husband accepted her proposition because their financial situation was very difficult.

 Artificial Wombs Tested on Lambs

The document under study is an extract of a news report about/that deals with the use of artificial wombs on lamb fetuses. We have learned that Emily Partridge, an American researcher at the Children Hospital of Philadelphia, with her team, they took 8 lamb fetuses aged 105 to 115 days (equivalent to 28 weeks of gestation for human fetuses) and plunged them into plastic bags filled with lab-made amniotic fluid. These artificial wombs were designed for a month. The lamb fetuses grew up normally, their organs developed well and they even grew wool, gained some weight and were able to open their eyes.

One of the reasons for creating this procedure is to save preterm babies. In fact, every year in the USA, 30,000 babies are born preterm and only half of them survive. Unfortunately, the survivors grow up with serious health complications such having difficulties to talk, walk or breathe. Therefore, this new process could help limit the amount of infant deaths and improve the lives of preterm babies.

To conclude, this innovation could be completed within 2 to 3 years on lambs and, if approved, it could be tested on human fetuses within 5 years.

Artificial Wombs

The document under study is an extract from an article written by Sabrina Stierwalt, published on January 24^th, 2018. It deals with the creation of artificial wombs to see if they could be a reality.

Indeed, in 2017 a group of scientists succeeded in making artificial wombs for lambs fetuses.

Scientists were motivated to create artificial wombs because in the USA there are a lot of infant deaths. Moreover, in the USA, 1 out of 10 babies is born preterm meaning they are born before 28 weeks. In fact, a baby should be born after 37 weeks.

The goals of such innovation are to prevent babies from having disabilities such as cerebral palsy or breathing problems… Obviously, to avoid major health problems.

To conclude, this breakthrough will help babies to stay alive and to avoid health complications. Nevertheless, as it is a very expensive procedure, only rich parents would be able to afford it.

Unlike the hippies who wanetd to rebel and go against the rigid conformity of the 50s.

Moreover, they were also against the war in Vietnam as they wanted to promote peace and love.

The hippies were charactarized by their long hair, the notion of the flower power and the peace symbol.

The movement had a leader called Timothy Leary who encouraged the youth to forget about society's rules and to form a new nation without any laws or regulations.

The Birth of the Hippie Movement

The document under study is an extract from a documentary that deals with the birth of the hippie movement.

We have learned that the movement was triggered because of the need of freedom of the younger people in the 1960s. Indeed, the 1950s was a decade/a period of rigid social conformity that did not please the younger generation who just wanted to be themselves. In fact, they were allowed to criticize the War in general (an unpopular war). Moreover, the 60s was a period of tumult and violence and the youth were asking peace. On top of that, they rebelled against their parents, their governments and their communities.

Physically, hippies were characterized with having long hair, wearing flashy/gaudy colors and baggy clothes to go against the social norms. They were also characterized with their peace symbol and the notion of flower power to emphasize peace and love with another.

Besides, in 1967 a special event took place with a hundred thousand hippies gathered together in San Francisco in the district of Haight Ashbury., it was called the Summer of Love.

Timothy Leary was seen as being the guru of the movement with his famous slogan “Turn on, Tune in and drop out”.

Their values were inspired by Eastern philosophy and they embraced communal living which were making them threats for the American society.

To conclude, hippies had to eventually join back society in order to have a job and earn money for a living in order no to become homeless.

Gene Therapy

The document under study is a short video about a geneticist researcher who cured a little girl’s health problem through a breakthrough / groundbreaking innovation.

His name is doctor French Anderson, an American researcher. The little girl he cured is named Ashi. She was 4 years old at the time. She suffered from a faulty gene disorder. Indeed, her immune system was very weak: she could not leave the house only to go to see the doctor because she was getting sick all the time. Her sickness is called ADA deficiency.

The technique that was used to heal her was called Gene Therapy. In fact, it consists in taking Ashi’s blood to insert healthy white blood cells from a donor to then reinject her blood with the healthy white blood cells in Ashi’s body.

As a result, 6 months later all her family got the flu, even herself. However, she was the first one to recover and her parents were amazed to see her healthy playing with her toys while they were still sick.

Synthetic Human Embryos

The document under study is a short video from a news program about a new innovation: scientists successfully created synthetic human embryos bypassing the need to use sperm and eggs. The video was published in June 2023.

Indeed, to do so, they used stem cells to create human-like embryos.

The goals are first to help researchers to understand better the beginning of human development. Moreover, to understand how and why miscarriages happen. Finally, to spot genetic disorders in order to try to fix them.

Nevertheless, the researchers still have limits in fact, because of the law, they are not allowed to keep the embryos past 14 days as after this period of time the embryos would be too developed and it could be unethical. Furthermore, the 14 days correspond to what the scientists call the “Black Box Period” of human development: a period in which it is possible to understand how the early stage of human life works.

Eventually, scientists tried the same process with mice to see if the synthetic embryos could end up in fully formed mice. Unfortunately, this process was not successful, as the embryos did not survive.
