the experiment ? BBC stories
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWu44AqF0iI
The video document I chose is about an gender experience on small children.
They disguise a girl as a boy and vice versa. They give them toys and a volunteer adult to play with.
So this experiment is based on a trick :
1. Trick (supercherie)
Is making the fake look like the real thing.
A bit like a joke of bad taste.
A kink of calculated deception.
In this case, the purpose of this strange joke is to lead volunteers towards
awareness of their biases :
2. awareness (prise de conscience)
is when suddenly, our brain sees a new light and we start to understand things differently than usual.
It may come more or less quickly or never depending on the people.
3. biases (préjugés)
I'll give you a clue :
Most people, unfortunately, are bord, live and die with them. Who am I ?
They are judments issued in advance and based on interpretations.
Grade 2
BBC asks the question « is it nature or nurtur ». It's un big question like the hen and the egg.
4. nurture (élever, éduquer)
If we decompose the word,
Nur means to encourage and ture mean « what attract ».
And if we extend the word ;
Nursery refers, as in French, to a room reserved for yound children.
So for me and in this context, nurtur makes sense to raise a child with certain conditioning.
Indeed, volunteers picked out toys according to the child's sex :
that is to say, dolls and soft toys for girls and toys that teach spatial awareness or physical confidence.
sly select and propose « boy toys » at a girl...
5. physical confidence (assurance physique)
be careful, confidence is a king of false friends. « Confidence » in French mean telling a secret to someone. « Confidence » In english mean « confiance » in French. Trust s a synonym. associated with the word « Physical », confidence refers to insurance and security.
In the end, when they discover the thrick, volunteers are astounded to discover their lack of openness and question their gender biase in the past and for the future.
6. Picked out (sélectionné, choisi)
at the base, It's simply the fact of choosing. But, but which, depending on the context, may be more or less subtle.
And in this experience, this word seems to have a pejorative connotation. He presses this word when he says « she's picked out the robot, the car , the puzzle game.
this is the key moment in the experience that shows us that the person doesn't know the thrick since she inconscio

« LOL surprise ball » is the name of a famous toy in North-America. It is a half-ball made of plastic and packed in plastic : inside, you can find lots of little plastic balls containing very tiny stuff such as shoes or clothes for a little doll that you will find into the biggest ball ! Everything is made of plastic !
This toy is aimed to children from 5 to 8 and it costs about fifty to one hundred dollars. Sometimes more !
Here, on CBC Radio, a child is saying « Super duper jumbo lol big surprise ball » : that means he?s got a very very large « lol surprise ball » !
the video of this definition is on the usb flash drive I put on Abdel's desk
« We are kicking off a new series » : in that sentence, « kicking off » means « to begin », but It sounds more dynamic than just « to begin ». You can hear « to kick off » used literaly, talking about the way a footballer is throwing the ball to start the game.
« We kick it to the curb » as above, we use « to kick ». It means to throw something out in the garbage. It looks like « to kick » is often used in several ways to mean several things but there is always the idea of « energy, dynamism or movement » in every of its sense.
« The downside » of something is the bad or the dark side of something. Mrs Diamond is talking about plastic : it is an amazing material that enable us to develop and democratize some inovations (in medical field for example) but the downside is all the waste and the pollution.
And you, do you think there is always a good and a bad side in anything ?
the video of this definition is on the usb flash drive I put on Abdel's desk
« At the frontend » means : at the genesis of the problem. Here, Mrs Diamond explains that the society is talking about the waste but that we should also deal with the origin of the problem (wich is all the mineral oils and the energy we are using to produce things). According to her we should put the focus on that point.
« HDPE » = High-density polyethylene is a kind of plastic that is used to make bottles (for milk or ketchup for example). It is the kind of plastic that is recycled by the Green toysTM company to produce durable and safe toys.
« To span » is a verb used like that : something spans FROM somewhere TO somewhere else. We can say for example that in France, Occitan culture is spanning from the spanish frontier to the italian frontier.
It means : « it extends » wich is easier to understand for a French speaker.
« Social leader » is someone who is showing a way for the society, first. Here, Cameron Passmore is a social leader because she?s promoting a greener way of producing toys or a « less-plastic way » wich is better for the whole society : no doubt about that ! She?s one of the first and one of the only ones to produce eco-friendly toys.
