POWERPOINT: Social issues

The Last Powerpoint of this year:All my powerpoints presented in each terms intented to entertain with a tone between critical and curious:
I intented to try to show issues that were new and interesing to the others:

Riot Grrrl (the feminist ideology in music), Japan and his magnificient neighborhood: Shibuya (with their curious atmosphere and quirky shops and clothing),...

In the last powerpoint that is about social issues, I tried to change my attitude.
I wanted to show the harshness of a social problem that abounds nowadays:

The search of perfection.
The perfect body.
The perfect objective that will torture a person for years or even forever.

Social issues

ORAL PRESENTATION(2): JAPAN

ORAL PRESENTATION: A country

Oral presentation (2) japan

View more presentations from phoenixxx17xp.

That was my second oral presentation, talking about my favourite country ever:
Japan.

I thought it was good: not only to find information of japanese traditional things... even this sensation of happiness when I wrote all the sensation that transmite me this incredible culture.
Doing the presentation, I found a lot of quotes, objects and names that seems me to familiar: when I was young, I was so involved in this curious world (even I did a dictionary of Japanese words, their use and translation!)




So, for all this reasons, prepare the presentation don't supose to be a problem for me....
I enjoy it!
(that was funny to imitate the girl of the translator to improve my presentation!)


I think that the result was more good than the first....
In the first oral presentation, I was so much nervous and I was wrong in the pronunciation of many words.


And in this, I think that I was more natural (although I still ran aground a little when I speak and in the next presentation I must not carry the paper because I get distracted a lot!)


Even so, I think that I was well this time.... But I need to improve much more!

ORAL PRESENTATION SCRIPT

Hello everybody! I'm Helena and I'm gonna talk about Riot Grrrl. I'm sure that nobody knows about this movement and music style and I want to speak a little about it.
I think that Riot Grrrl must be known among the people, because it marks a before and after in feminism.
I'll start by explaining what's Riot grrrl, some influental bands, and the topics of their lyrics.
I hope that interests you!

The websites say that Riot Grrrl is only a musical style, born in 1990 in USA.
But it's more than this. It was an ideology, a revolutionary thought.
A protest against sexism in society. For the first time, women expressed their thoughts and feelings though punk.

Punk and Rock have always been considered masculine music styles. Women could go to punk concert and love punk music. But punks felt that women were weak and sensitive and couldn't form a punk band.
Women who attempted to form punk bands wre rejected.
But they aren't giving up.

They began to meet and to form female punk bands. They played in clubs and alternative bars.

The objective was to demostrate that women could play punk like men... and better than they! They wanted to break the mold established by the society and talk about taboo topics.

This topics are: sexism, gender violence, rape, incest, inequality between men and women, the stereotypes of the tradicional women,...

I think that all the riot grrrls bands are influential. Many were released on the festival "Girl Day" in Olimpia (1990).
Some are:
-Bratmobile.
-Seven Year Bitch.
And my favourite: -Bikini Kill.

And although it's not classificable as Riot Grrrl, we might consider LAS VULPES like a feminist spanish punk band.

This woman, Kathleen Hanna, was an important piece to form the riot girl movement.
She was the lead singer of Bikini Kill, and actually, is a feminist activist and the singer of her band, Le Tigre, an American electroclash band.

She with the help of other women, formed riot grrrl festivals, feminist books and fanzines to show that the riot grrrl wasn't only a musical style: Was a feminist revolution.

I have spoken of this movement in the oral presentation, because the teacher asked us to talk about something that has influenced our lives.
Sine I knew that I liked punk bands, I tried to find bands who speak of social problems, and I never found any.
I found riot girls and I love them.It really is much than words, it's a feeling.

I know that you're not be passionate about the topic, but I hope that now you know about this movement.

ORAL PRESENTATION: Riot Grrrl (the video)

I think that I do it very bad. It's good this system of recording your oral presentation to watch your defects and faults.
 I speak very slowly, and don' t look at the audience to much when I speak.
I get too nervous and then I forget some basic words!
My pronunciation is very bad and needs to improve by 99%.
But I liked to see the people trying to understand me, despite my poor oral presentation...

I hope to do it better the next time!



PS:I will post the script of the PowerPoint, for people who didn't understand me too well when I explained it in class.

ORAL PRESENTATION: one song to understand the riot grrrl.

RIOT GRRRL REVOLUTION STYLE NOW:

how many girls stay awake all night

Quantes noies estan despertes tota la nit
too scared to sleep and too scared to fight back

Massa espantes per dormir, massa espantades per lluitar
i know you know what i'm talking about

Jo se que tu saps de que estic parlant
another woman killed and hardly a pout about it

Una altre dona asesinada i dificilment s'enfaden per aixo
green river killer my fucking ass

el green river asesina el meu fotut cul
the cops have gotta be deaf, dumb, and spastic

els policíes tenen que ser sords, muts i espàstics
to not catch the killer(s) of one hundred woman

per no atrapar els asesins d'un centenar de dones
i guess it'd be different if they thought we were human

Crec que aixo sería diferent si ells pensesin que som humanes

i wanna know what love is

Vull saber què és l'amor

what the fuck if we all got guns /

Què cony, si tots tenen pistoles
to off the fucking pigs and all the other motherfuckers /

per els fotuts porcs i tots els altres fills de puta
raping the children they paint like dolls /

violant als nens que ells pinten com nines
jon benet didn't scream because she never fucking was /

Jon benet no va cridar perquè ella mai ho havia sigut (de nen)
come on now the police aren't gonna save you /

Vinga, ara, la policía no et salvarà!
they're part of the problem that society gave you /

Ells són part del problema que la societat t'ha donat:
locking up black men for whistling in the wind /

Tancant als homes negres per xiular en el vent
you see a mirage when you call the cop your friend / Tu veus un miratge quan anomenes el policía el teu amic

i wanna know what love is / Vull saber què és l'amor

the killers and the cops give us special advice / Els assasins i els policíes ens donen consells especials
like cross your legs and act fucking nice /  com creuar les teves cames i actuar fotudament bé
while they kill us off old and fucking young /  Mentres ens maten gent gran i gent fotudament jove
for breathing, relieving, and having fun /  per respirar, relaxarse i divertir-se.
they'll keep you scared so you have to have a boyfriend /  Ells et mantenen espantat, per aixo tens que tenir un nóvio
and take your kids away if you're a lesbian /  i et treuen els fills si ets una lesbiana
arrest you for whoring then rape you in the car /  t'arresten per prostitució després de que t'hagin violat dins d'un cotxe
it's time we point the finger at who the real criminals are /  És hora de que senyalem amb el dit quins són els verdaders criminals


i wanna know what love is /  Vull saber què és l'amor
i want you to show me /  Necessito que m'ho ensenyis

so i'll stay awake almost every night /  Així que vaig estar desperta gairebé tota la nit
a pen in my hand and in the other a knife /  amb un bolígraf a la mà, i a l'altre un ganivet
because i'd rather be scared and fight back /  perquè prefereixo tenir por i lluitar
than be some dick's maid, babe or wife /  que no pas ser la dama, dona o nena d'una polla

i don't care how we get it but we'll get it someday / 
No m'importa com ho fem, però ho aconseguirem algun dia.
