A World of Many Languages

We have been discussing the importance of the English language in the world today. In the film you are about to watch this is one of the themes; you will see how difficult communication becomes when there is no common language. Let’s practice English and have fun in class! Take down some notes about the film by completing the following questionnaire.

very brave. He never quit of his objectives. He is a patriot.

in Krakozhia. Due to the civil war, the United States don’t recognizes Krakozhia as a sovereign nation

and denies Viktor's entrance to the U.S. territory. He is unable to leave the airport, but he is also unable

to return to Krakozhia so Viktor had to live in the terminal.

Situations of difficulty in communication: The airport boss asked Viktor to interpret a

desperate Russian man with undocumented drugs for his sick father. Viktor claims it is "medicine

for goat," barring the drug from confiscation and resolving the crisis. In the film, Viktor had lots

of situations where he had problems in communication and some of them are very funny.

How does he try to survive? How does he fit in? How does he communicate? Viktor

collected money for food by retrieving vacant baggage trolleys for the 25-cent reward from the machine,

but the boss prevented him.

Comment / Observation: I loved this film because it’s very funny and creative.

Technology and Innovation – I, Robot We live in a world in which technology plays a very important role; the development of innovative technological gadgets has become something with which we live daily. Robots have frequently been associated with changes in the way we live. Let’s see how technology may affect life in the future.

Extensive viewing / Reading Project A. Pre-viewing Tasks

1. a) Look at the pictures below. Where and when does the story take place?

b) Can you guess what the film is about from its title and the pictures above?

2. Robots are characters in the film that follows. a) What adjective(s) would you use to describe a robot? Select from the list below or suggest new ones:

useful nervous

trustworthy intimidating

powerful friendly

aggressive competent

_Useful, trustworthy, aggressive, competent____________________

________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________

b) What tasks do you believe they will be constructed to perform? __house Working__________________

c) Do you think they will govern man? Why/Why not? __No because man is a strong being do they will

destroy the robots if it appends_______________________________________


3. The film you are about to watch refers to the “Three Laws of Robotics” in Isaac Asimov’s book.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the

First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second

Law.

Do you think they protect humans? Justify.

I disagree with the three laws because I think that robots should have enough intelligence to choose

what's right.

In the film, the robot helps the cop instead of helping the child and, for me, that's wrong. In my opinion

robots should follow the principles according to the theories of Kant. That is, all human behavior is

based on maxims - reason and moral action. I agree with this!

In this case, maxims and laws aren't the same. Maxims are ideas that we believe in and fight for, like

"Don't kill" or "Don't steal". Laws are a bit different. A maxim can't be broken and laws can be broken -

like in the film.

B. While Reading/ Viewing Tasks

________________________________________________________________________

Plot (story) – Differences between man and robot:

_Robot cant think ( except sonny) and human aren’t so strong._______________________

__________________________________________________________________________

Why did the robots revolt? Because VIKI wanted to protect the creator so she tell to other robots

to do the revolution.

C. Post-reading / Viewing Tasks

Comment.

VIKI’s attitude – “The Created must Protect the Creator”

I disagree because, if that’s was true, the babies should protect their moms too. I think that the creator

must protect the created.
