Let's begin, as you all had seen in the video, who are the participants in the event?
BalasHapusAnd what the topic they discuss?
BalasHapusThe video contains unfiltered conversations about the lives of teenagers. With unusual directness, they describe the pressure on them to smoke marijuana, the trend of drinking cough syrup to get high, and the challenge for girls to avoid “slut humiliation.”
Hapusyep, I think the same. They're talking about their involvement on naughty stuff like drugs and sexting. It's showed how "free" and "liberal" American society has. How do you all think?
HapusI think topic they discuss about lives of teenagers, how they think about drugs,sexing, and hooking, that's really intersting topic to discuss by teenagers.
HapusI think the same topic about drugs,sexing, and hooking, topic to discuss by teenagers.
HapusYes, I agree with your opinion. This video discusses how the lives of Colorado teenagers and how they respond to the habits of teenagers in Colorado.
HapusWhat do you all think about the participants? Their dress, their relationships, and how is the formality of the event? And are all of the participants involved? Lastly, how is the roles of the moderator and the other stuffs that you think important?
BalasHapusBased on the video, the dress code for the interview is casual clothes and I think that all participants must comply with the Dress Code. The dress code aims to create a harmonious and appropriate impression with the theme of the event. The Participants will present themselves in a neat and clean appearance. In the interview, you have to make a good first impression. By following the dress code it show that you value the event.
HapusAccording to the video, they are a group of high school students and they have a personal relationship as schoolmates. In the interview, maybe some of the participants did not know each other, but there are also many who already know each other and have personal relationships as friends, beloved, relatives, or married couples.
HapusThe level of formality is informal because the participants talk like is a casual conversation and uses casual clothes.
HapusAll of the participants are involved in the discussion and they talks casually, like in the slumber party or similar to that.
Hapusi think roles of the moderate is asking questions to teens and providing useful advice so as to provide knowledge and information about drugs, sexting, hooking up from teenagers.
HapusAnother aspect that needs to be addressed is the importance of basic education in a faamily, especcially aspects of parenting because on the growth of the child's character
HapusI think the clothes they wear are casual but a little formal. The event in the video can be said to be formal or informal. Because the style of conversation between the host and the speaker is relaxed like a normal conversation. The informants may know each other and may not know each other. The moderator here acts as a regulator of the course of the interview.
HapusAfter you’ve watching the video, in your view, do you think our cultures on the western/United States you all had been listed above is different or similar to our culture?
BalasHapusAccording to our response, the factors listed in these 3 points are very different from our culture, in our country (Indonesia),
HapusThe first is drugs, drugs are strictly prohibited in Indonesia because narcotics have extraordinary side effects and are harmful to the health of the human body which leads to also on death, and narcotics also have chemicals in them that have an addictive effect on those who use them.
Second, is sexting. In Indonesia, this often happens to several people. In this case, it is tantamount to sexually harassing the victim. In Indonesia, if we are sexually harassed either directly or indirectly, we must quickly report it to the authorities so that the perpetrator can be prosecuted so that there will be no more victims of sexual harassment.
Third, is hooking up. This behavior is a western culture that is contrary to the eastern values and norms adopted by the Indonesian people, but nowadays many teenagers do this because they are following the current developments.
my opinion same with oktia, the factors listed in these 3 points are very different from our culture, in our country (Indonesia),
HapusFrom the many associations that have been passed, it seems that western culture has entered Indonesia. where Indonesia is a country with eastern culture. but there is a lot of evidence that western culture has entered Indonesia. So the culture that exists in Indonesia with other western countries has similarities.
HapusCan you look up some of the experessions that the participants use? Like their directness, untterances, some of their use of patterns of information and else
BalasHapusIn the level of directness, there I listed some of the examples of their expression that showed the directness.
Hapus- That’s kind of creepy
- I want my parents to realize that you really do not have to know everything
- Last year I like told them I was going camping for a weekend.
The politeness of utterances seems normal. It’s like when they’re talking with friends or family, but still polite in words and utterances.
Hapus
