Video multicultural Britain : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az-mi5_Sbts  
Pros ?cons ?
> you can draw from both cultures (the British culture and your native culture).
> It makes people open to new cultures to embrace their culture as well.
> When you are in your family you are told to be  in a little box.
> It is oppressing and limited because they have no choice.
> You are not allowed to go out of your native culture.
> It is a blessing.
> Both religions (islam and christianism) are respectful.
> It is complicated to fit in because they feel they are neither Black nor White.
> Immigrants experience racism. The Paki for example.
> It is a really nice environment.    
> They feel they don’t belong to any of both communities and it is difficult to figure out where they belong to in the world.
> It is complicated to find a group of people who understands you.  
    Your opinion ?
This video deals with multiculturalism in Britain. Indeed, Britain is a multicultural country. This video portrays 4 teenagers who are Pakistani-British, Pakistani-Bosnian and Barbados-British. They all have a dual belonging (origin / ethnicity). And they explain what makes it difficult for them to get integrated. Is it easy to fit in (to get integrated) when you are torn between 2 cultures ?   I agree with the girl who says it is a blessing because being split (torn / divided) between 2 different cultures, you can draw from both cultures. I agree that growing up (being raised / being bred /being educated) in a multicultural environement makes people more open-minded (tolerant / broad-minded)because they learn to accept (to tolerate / to adapt to / to tailor to / to fit with) each other. People socialize and mix (intermingle / compound / associate / merge) their cultures. They acknowledge each other’s difference and they respect each other. It makes people respectful.   Yet it is complicated to grow up in an immigrant family because we are torn between our parents’ culture and the French culture. It may feel oppressive (stifling /suffocating) to be limited in our choices. We feel we are not free to be who we want to be be. We feel we are not allowed to (are forbidden to / are prohibited to) choose what we want. We have to repress (have to curb down) who we are. We feel our inner-identity is muzzled (is gagged / is censored) because we have to respect our parents’ culture or religion. It is complicated to fit in because at home or at school we are not the same persons. At school we are not allowed to show signs of our religion whereas at home we have to comply with (have to abide by / have to obey) our parent’s religion. There is also racism. As suburban teenagers we feel discriminated (rejected / excluded / cast away / put aside / marginalized / stranded). Sometimes we are stigmatized (are stereotyped) as immigrants whereas we were born in France.

The American tradition of multiculturalism

By Eugene Volokh / Washington Post / January 27, 2015

People talk a lot about “multiculturalism,” whether to praise it or condemn it. […] Here are four constitutional manifestations of this multiculturalism.

Federalism aimed at letting people of each state maintain their own legal and social culture

The premise of federalism is precisely that multiple states, which the Framers envisioned as often having substantial differences in culture, should be able to retain their cultures, including the legal rules that flow from those cultures.

Of course, the Civil War shows the potential cost of this multiculturalism. The Constitution’s toleration of slavery in some states but not others is an illustration of potential drifts. But despite this, the nation remained committed to a good deal of federalism, aimed at letting the people of each state maintain their own legal and social cultures. […]

Religious freedom guaranteeing tolerance 

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights  contemplate a country with a considerable range of religious views and even religious cultures. Some of them (like the Quakers for example) live in relatively homogeneous enclaves. American religious freedom has always included religious tolerance — the willingness to let religious groups live free of deliberate persecution. […]Religious tolerance — coupled with federalism and localism — has often let people live, be free, and pursue happiness in America without having to sacrifice or hide their belief systems. […]

Free speech and economic liberty

The Free Speech Clause, coupled with protection for private property and freedom of movement and action, likewise facilitates multiculturalism and especially the preservation of immigrant cultures. When people come to America, they can live near others from the old country, speak their language with one another, celebrate their old festivals, and start up businesses that cater to their fellow immigrants. They can also organize political movements together with their fellow immigrants. Like it or not, this is a way to guarantee everyone’s free-speech rights, political-participation rights, and economic rights.

Parental rights as a powerful protector of multiculturalism

Parental rights, which have been expressly recognized by the Supreme Court since the 1920s, further promote multiculturalism, by giving parents broad power to convey their culture to their children. […] Parental rights are not absolute, but they remain powerful protectors for cultures, whether they are immigrant cultures, religious-separatist cultures (such as the Amish), or religious-conservative cultures.

What about ?
> The planet and the beauty of the landscape
> Animal species
> Human activity = scientific innovation, pollution, deforestation, city life
> Natural disasters = storms, hurricanes, floods, melting of ice  

It is a video narrated by science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who popularizes science through his books. The video shows pictures of our planet. It shows how beautiful and precious animal species and landscapes are. It seems to praise the beauty of nature and warn us against the dangers of pollution, scientific innovation (progress), city life and deforestation. Human beings have been polluting the planet and they have been destroying nature. They have been shaping the landscape to build cities. But they have provoked disorder and natural disasters. The video shows pictures of storms (hurricanes / tornadoes), floods, tsunamis. It also seems to warn people against the dangers of global warming and the melting of ice on the poles.  

What about the world today ?
> So fragile
> We can’t subject the earth to the torture we have inflicted upon it  

Human activity ?
> We are piling more and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
> We are chopping down the lungs of the earth at great rate
> Life and death problems go to the roots of the viability of the planet itself making the earth a lot less livable

Isaac Asimov explains that the world has become so fragile that we shouldn’t subject the earth to the torture we have inflicted upon it. We ought to stop destroying the planet because we have been piling more and more carbon dioxide. We have been polluting more and more. We have been chopping down the lungs of the planet at a great rate because of massive deforestation. We have made the earth a lot less viable.  

Problem ?
> Ocean
> Pollution
> Atmosphere
> Over-population
> We are facing problems that transcend nations
> Greenhouse gases affect the entire planet  

Solution to the problem ?
> All human beings are facing the same problem
> It is important that we face the problems together as a unit
> The only way we can solve the problem is by human collaborative solution  

All human beings are facing the same problem and we ought to face the problem together. We ought to find collaborative solutions. We have been polluting oceans, the atmosphere. We have been destroying the planet. We are facing problems that transcend nations.  

Saving the planet ?
> The human species is one species
> Who is going to fight and to lead in the direction
> Miracle don’t happen
> Sweat, efforts, thoughts
> It is up to us to help

The human species ought to act collaboratively. Human beings ought to cooperate (to collaborate / to combine) to solve the problem because we are one species. We ought to fight in the same direction. Isaac Asimov thinks that miracle don’t happen and that change requires commitment (involvement), action, efforts and sweat. He thinks it is up to everyone to help. It is everyone’s responsibility.

Focus on the character’s living conditions in the film : Describe humanity’s living conditions in the future :
The characters are trapped in the wilderness. They have to be on the road because cities have been destroyed (have been ransacked / have been devastated) by natural disasters. They have to survive and they go south because they hope for a better place down south. They dream of some utopic (dream-like) world. Himanity has become carnivorous (cannibalistic) and man is a wolf to man. It is the law of the fittest. Humanity is back to a state of nature and human beings have become survivors on earth because they have destroyed their planet. This is the end of civilization. Cormac Mc Carthy anticipates (foreshadowes / foresees) a dystopic (nightmarish / hellish) future. Men shall have to survive and they shall have to live out of the remains of civilization. He imagines a post-nuclear world and his anticipation novel warns us against the dangers of progress and limitless scientific progress.

Step 1 :
Definition of dystopia : Video « How to recognize a dystopia » by Alex Gender  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeqRuU5s6Ag&feature=youtu.be  

What does Utopia mean  ?
> Come from the greek for “no place”

What did dreams and progress turn into ? Give kea words.
> Nightmare of war, famine and oppression

What word was used by Thomas More in his 1516 book to talk about an ideal society ?
> Utopia

Dystopia comes from the Greek what does it mean ?
> the not good place

During the industrial revolution and because of new industrial technology, instead of gaining more freedom, where happened to labourers ? > imprisoned in slums and factories What were the main changes of our new century in the early 20th century ?
> Medical advances, mass media

Focus on new technologies after World War 2 and give examples of some inventions ?
> Atomic energy, Artificial intelligence and space travels

What about the future as described in dystopian literature ?
> Robots turned against human beings, crime-plagued cities, TV screens broadcast deadly mass-entertainment, depleted resources on earth, threat of nuclear war, disappearance of human rights

What about modern anxieties ?
> About inequality, climate change, epidemics  


Dystopian literature portrays a nightmarish (hellish / awful) world. The ideal of utopic society turned into a nightmare because of war, famine and oppression. Instead of providing more freedom, industrial technologies imprisoned human beings in slums (ghettos) and factories. Human beings were enslaved in factories because of standardization. Medical advances and mass media turned dangerous (noxious / detrimental / destructive) to society. Genetics and biological research may endanger society if they don’t abide by ethical (moral) limits. Writers imagine dystopic societies in which robots will turn against humanity. TV screen will broadcast mass-entertainment to brainwash (manipulate / control) people. Human rights will disappear. That’s why we should worry about growing inequalities, climate change and epidemics because our world has changed since the technological revolution and the inventions of atomic energies, artificial intelligence and space travels. We have pushed the limits of what was possible but we have also endangered our society.  

STEP 2 : Our society will (shall) be dystopic in the future because human beings will (shall) be brainwashed (shall be manipulated) by mass- media entertainment. Humanity will (shall) be conditioned by genetics. The planet will (shall) be destroyed by industrial technologies and the planet will (shall) be affected by climate change. Natural disasters shall (will) destroy the planet and put humanity at risk.  

STEP 3 : George Orwell envisions (anticipates / foreshadows) a dystopian society overshadowed (ruled / controlled) by Big Brother. Human beings will (shall) be enslaved. Freedom will turn into slavery. The wold will be turned upside down. So scientific innovations may destroy the planet instead of improving our lives.
