1
Can science ever go too far?
2
Just because we can do something,
3
does that mean we should do something?
4
Yes.
5
I haven't finished.
6
I'm sorry, go on.
7
Ethically, should science have any limitations?
8
No. Interesting.
9
What about human cloning?
10
More of me?
11
Yes, please.
12
Well, what about more of everyone else?
13
No, thank you.
14
What about, uh, dinosaurs?
15
Herbivores, yes.
16
Carnivores, no. What about the herbivores who can squash you like a bug?
17
Good point.
18
No dinosaurs.
19
So, cloning is unethical.
20
Right.
21
But what if we were to clone Albert Einstein?
22
That would be swell.
23
At some point I'm going to need a sidekick.
24
So cloning is ethical?
25
Right, because Albert Einstein, unlike the dinosaurs, harmed no one.
26
I think the victims of the atomic bomb,
27
which his discoveries helped create, might disagree.
28
So what's the right answer?
29
That's why we're here!
30
To find that out.
31
Why don't you just tell us?
32
Why don't you?
33
I ask you first.
34
You're it!
35
No back seats!
36
Heh heh heh!
37
Dr. Sturgis, I don't think I can do the assignment.
38
Why not?
39
Just pick either side of any ethical argument and present it.
40
But how do I know which argument to present?
41
Any one you want.
42
And how do I know which side to take?
43
Any side you want.
44
But I want to take the right side.
45
Maybe there is no right side.
46
This is torture, and that can't be ethical.
47
There you go.
48
You picked a subject and a side.
49
Oh, good.
50
Torture is unethical.
51
That's clearly the correct position.
52
I agree.
53
But what if there's a bomb hidden underneath a city,
54
and someone says that the only way to find out its location is through torture?
55
Answer that.
56
Let's see.
57
Batman plays by Gotham City rules and would use torture,
58
but Superman's got those Midwest values.
59
I hate ethics!
60
Can you two help me with my homework?
61
Did I hear him right?
62
Yeah, he asked for help.
63
With his schoolwork?
64
Yep.
65
How long have you known him?
66
All my life.
67
Has he ever asked for help?
68
No. Hello?
69
Hang on.
70
Is this some kind of prank?
71
It's not a prank.
72
I just need help with my homework.
73
Did a bully take it from you?
74
No. Is it real heavy?
75
You need help lifting it?
76
No. I need your opinion on an ethical dilemma.
77
Should robots have the same rights as humans?
78
That depends.
79
What's ethical mean?
80
I started working on this presentation to address specific ethical dilemmas.
81
The laws of robotics, whether torture can be justified,
82
and cloning people for fun and spare parts.
83
But I realized before resolving any of these moral quandaries,
84
the real decision is who gets to decide?
85
Do we put it up for a vote?
86
Does everyone get to decide for themselves?
87
Should it be by committee?
88
Is that committee elected or appointed?
89
You see where I'm going?
90
You probably don't.
91
For the smartest decision, we need the smartest person.
92
Ladies and gentlemen, in the field of scientific ethics,
93
we can't rely on democracy or plutocracy.
94
We need an autocracy.
95
Or to be more precise, a shell-docracy.
96
Um...
97
I don't think this was the assignment.
98
Sorry, Dr. Sturgis.
99
I picked the assignments now.
100
Everybody, for next class, I want 500 words on what you can do to further this Sheldocracy.
101
Punishment for typos will be severe.
102
Class dismissed.
103
Hey, that's my lie.
104
No, it isn't.
105
Why don't you see me after class?
106
Class dismissed.
107
Thank you.

This segment from "Young Sheldon" provides a fascinating opportunity for English learners to practice speaking in an engaging and relatable context. The conversational style of the dialogue allows you to immerse yourself in everyday English language usage, making it a perfect choice for those looking to learn English with YouTube. Furthermore, the ethical dilemmas discussed can prompt lively debates, promoting not only comprehension but also fluency in speaking.

Engaging with this clip will not only refine your English speaking practice but also deepen the understanding of complex topics in a lighthearted manner, making learning both fun and effective.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

  • "Just because we can do something, does that mean we should do something?" - This rhetorical question structure invites critical thinking and is commonly used in discussions about ethics.
  • "I think the victims of the atomic bomb... might disagree." - This conditional statement emphasizes the use of modal verbs in expressing opinions and hypothetical scenarios.
  • "Maybe there is no right side." - The use of "maybe" introduces uncertainty. This is a valuable expression for learners to practice when discussing subjective topics.
  • "Torture is unethical." - A simple, declarative sentence that highlights the importance of clear articulation of opinions. It's a straightforward way to express views during discussions.

Common Pronunciation Traps

As you practice speaking with this video, pay attention to some common pronunciation challenges:

  • Ethical – Often mispronounced, this word can trip up many learners. Practice breaking it down: "eth-i-cal." Focus on the soft "th" sound.
  • Unethical – Similar to "ethical," it's crucial to emphasize the "un" at the beginning. Shadowing the character's pronunciation can help.
  • Dinosaur – The blending of sounds can be tricky. Try to pronounce it slowly at first: "di-no-saur," making sure the stress is placed on the first syllable.

By using this video to shadow speak and enhance your skills, you are not just learning a language; you are diving into meaningful conversations. Embrace these challenges, as they are stepping stones towards fluency in English!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
