 Topic1. Video of starving polar bear goes viral

 A video of a starving and emaciated polar bear collapsing in Canada's wilderness has gone viral on the Internet. The video shows the bear in search of food, wandering across land with no snow or ice. The creature is all skin and bones and is seen foraging for food in rusty waste containers. It is at times too weak to support its own body weight and has difficulty standing. Paul Nicklen, the photographer who took the video footage, stated the polar bear's plight was a clear sign of the devastating impact of climate change. He said filming the animal had been heart-wrenching. He explained his team were, "pushing through their tears and emotions while documenting this dying polar bear".

Mr Nicklen is part of the environmental group Sea Legacy. His team was on Canada's Baffin Island to shoot a documentary on conservation. He said the bear they filmed was not old and probably died within hours. He said: "This is what starvation looks like. The muscles atrophy. No energy. It's a slow, painful death." He blamed the bear's sad plight on global warming. He said: "As temperatures rise and sea ice melts, polar bears lose access to the main staple of their diets - seals." Climate change is the biggest threat to the world’s 26,000 polar bears. The video explains that bears are, "starving, and running out of energy" and are "forced to wander into human settlements for any source of food."

Questions

1.  Why was the polar bear walking across land and not snow?
2. Should the film crew have given the bear some food?
3. How sad to you get when bad things happen to animals?
4. What do you think of climate change?
5. What other things is global warming devastating?
6. How important are the ice and snow in the Arctic?
7. Would you like to be a wildlife documentary maker?

Topic2. Social media 'destroying how society works'

 A former Facebook executive has said social media is doing great harm to society around the world. The executive is a man called Chamath Palihapitiya. He joined Facebook in 2007 and became a vice president. He was responsible for increasing the number of users Facebook had. Mr Palihapitiya said he feels very guilty about getting more people to use social networks. He said the networks are destroying society because they are changing people's behavior. Twenty years ago, people talked to each other face to face. Today, people message each other and do not talk. People also really care about what other people think of them. They post photos and wait to see how many people like the photo. They get very sad if people do not like the photo.

Mr Palihapitiya said people should take a long break from social media so they can experience real life. He wants people to value each other instead of valuing online "hearts, likes, and thumbs-up". Palihapitiya also points out how fake news is affecting how we see the world. It is becoming easier for large websites to spread lies. It is also becoming easier to hurt other people online. Anyone can hide behind a fake user name and post lies about other people. Palihapitiya said this was a global problem. He is worried about social media so much that he has banned his children from using it. However, he did state that Facebook was a good company. He said: "Of course, it's not all bad. Facebook overwhelmingly does good in the world."

Questions

1. What do you think of Facebook?
2. How important is social media to you?
3. What did people do before social media?
4. What harm is social media doing to the world?
5. What would it be like to be a Facebook executive?
6. What things have you felt guilty about?
7. How are social networks changing our behaviour?
8. How much do you care about people liking your posts?

초중급반이란?

 - "꿈틀"엔 초급과 중급이 나뉘어져 open class로 운영되고 있습니다.(정원제가 아니라는 뜻입니다^^)

     그러나, 별다른 인터뷰도 없고 오로지 본인의 판단만으로 반을 결정해야 하는 문제점이 있네요..

     초급과 중급사이에서 모호함을 느끼는 분들~은 초중급반에서 부터 래팅 경험을 시작해 보세요.

     색다른 즐거움과 motivation이 기다리고 있습니다.

    우리반은 매주 신입멤버를 모집합니다.

  스터디 운영 방식은요?
