Natalia Caprile asks abstract questions on dystopian literature
So for this third and final video this week, I'm going to be asking you some questions that you can
00:00:00
practice giving answers. These questions are going to be a bit more advanced, a bit abstract,
00:00:05
so what I'll do is I will ask the question. After I ask the question, please pause the video and
00:00:10
answer yourself out loud to practice giving that answer and practice expanding on it, and then you
00:00:16
can play the video and hear my answer as an example. So the first question is, what is one
00:00:21
of the most important problems facing society right now and why? Pause the video. So for me,
00:00:28
I believe that an unequal distribution of wealth is one of the most important or biggest problems
00:00:37
facing us as a society today because it leads to so many other issues. There are so many issues
00:00:45
that branch off of it you know because wealth is so unequally distributed we have poverty we have
00:00:51
homelessness in our society there's world hunger and malnutrition um and you just have a lot of
00:00:59
unfairness that comes from some people having a lot of money and some people having very very
00:01:08
little money not enough to even really survive um and that is the reason that i think it is the
00:01:13
most, one of the most important issues facing us as a society today, it branches off into a lot of
00:01:20
other issues. That's my answer, but some other issues that you could have said, some other
00:01:26
examples could be racism, you could say homophobia is one of the biggest issues, maybe greed,
00:01:30
Islamophobia, crime, sexism, violence, you know, those aren't, that's by no means a comprehensive
00:01:38
list, but it could be. You could have answered one of those or maybe something else if you came up
00:01:45
with it. Question number two, is creating a utopian society possible? Why or why not? I do not think
00:01:51
personally that it is possible to create a utopian society. I believe that human beings inherently
00:02:03
have positive and negative qualities. So I think human beings, most human beings inherently
00:02:11
are capable of love. They're capable of compassion and care. I also think that human beings have
00:02:18
capabilities to be greedy, to be hateful, to be biased. And I don't think that there's a way
00:02:26
to get rid of all of the bad and keep all of the good. I think that if you were to get rid of all
00:02:34
of the bad, you would also be taking away some of the good if it were just a quick fix. So I don't
00:02:40
think it's possible right now to just snap your fingers and have a utopian society, but I do think
00:02:46
that there is hope. I'm hopeful that as a society we can slowly improve and move towards a better,
00:02:53
more just, more fair, and more equal society for everyone. Question number three, why do you think
00:03:01
dystopias are such a popular genre. So for me, I think that dystopian societies or elements of
00:03:10
dystopian societies that are portrayed in literature, film, series, I think that these
00:03:22
elements are something that people fear in a really base level. You know, a lot of dystopias
00:03:30
have themes of losing control losing things that make us uniquely human in some ways a loss of
00:03:37
humanity and I think that there's something there's this morbid curiosity in some people
00:03:46
where they want to know more about that they want to read about these situations I certainly want
00:03:52
to read about these situations and I also think that the genre of dystopian fiction allows us
00:03:56
in a really unique way to critique the failings of our society. You know, it allows us to have
00:04:05
sort of a thought experiment to say like, well, I wonder what would happen if we got rid of greed?
00:04:12
What else would we have to give up? And I think that's interesting. All right, so that's it for
00:04:17
my videos this week. I hope that you all have enjoyed this topic and I would love to hear
00:04:23
any of your answers. If you have a favorite dystopian novel or series that you would like
00:04:28
to recommend me. I would love any recommendations. I hope that you're all doing well and I look
00:04:33
forward to making some videos for you next week. Bye!
