Final topic. Doing the right thing . (3 module)
Have you ever wondered about the life in someone else's shoes? Imagine then, how it might be felt if you're a homeless or elderly. So, to find out what it's really like, one reporter went undercover as an eighty-year-old woman.
After they turned 25-year-old girl into an elderly lady with help of layers of prosthetic make-up and a shabby coat, transformation was complete - it looked very convincing. Let's get it started in a shopping centre. When she got to her favourite make-up counter, where the assistant usually laughs and jokes with her, she looked as if she couldn't wait to get rid of her. After in a music shop, her request for some CDs was met with laughter from sales assistants who couldn't believe an 80-year-old was interested in the latest chart hits. She felt incredibly embarassed and lonely. And the only one person, invisible by society seemed to want to chat with her.
I am not telling you have to help everyone around, no, simply, one day, it could be you, so we should think about it.
When we talk about endangered species, we might mention the see turtle or the giant panda or maybe even the Asian elephantm but we rarely consider the shark. That's not surprising when we see sharks in films, TV series and books portrayed as man-eating predators. In fact, their population has dropped over the last 30 years by 90%, and when they numbers decrease,it dustrubs the natural balance of oceans.
One man, Rob Stewart belevies sharks reputation is completely undeserved, he says "Sharks kill about 5 people a year and yet they are loathed," he says "Elephants kill at least 100 people but when a single elephant falls in Africa the world goes crazy". Stewart decided the best way to show the world what was happening was to make a documentary, he managed to produce "Sharkwater", a powerful documentary about the cruel way mankind treats sharks. "It's not just about saving sharks, it's about saving ourselves," he says.
