Pratica di Shadowing: Should social media platforms censor hate speech? | Nadine Strossen | Big Think - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Creazione lezione...
1
social media platforms present the same issues that we have been grappling with with respect to older media but throughout human history every time a
2
new medium of communication comes along many people including many government officials become very exercised about the new power and the allegedly new
3
harms that are posed so we went through this when radio was invented when the telephone was invented when television was invented when the world wide web
4
came to people's attention and in fact I have read that when the printing press was invented and when papyrus was invented there were similar eruptions of
5
fear about this great new power to distribute information and the harm that can be done through information and disinformation so I think it's really
6
important for us to have historic humility and not see what we're what we're going through now is inherently different and more dangerous than the
7
past and I think that the same fundamental principles that have applied to other media should apply to social media as well first of all as private
8
sector entities social media companies have absolutely no legal obligation to respect First Amendment rights free speech rights for anybody else so just
9
as I have no right to participate in your wonderful film and I have no right to have an op-ed in the New York Times I have no right to have my post displayed
10
on Facebook or Twitter and so forth moreover those companies have their own First Amendment rights to make their own editorial decisions about what
11
expression they are going to allow on their platform and what they're not going to allow is somebody who defend free speech right for media company so along with other companies would oppose government
12
restriction on the ability of these companies to decide what they will air and what they will not air however I will raise my voice to urge these
13
companies to adhere as closely as as feasible to the same basic standards that are reflected in the First Amendment because I think that for all
14
of the potential damage that can be done by various kinds of online communications including disinformation and so-called fake news and political
15
ads and so forth that far more harm is done when we empower these largely unaccountable private sector you know really powerful entities to pick and
16
choose what expression is going to be aired and what will not be aired and that danger is especially great when we are talking about political speech the
17
Supreme Court has consistently said throughout history of all expression that is important in our system of government by far the most important is
18
speech about public affairs speech about politics We the People to quote the opening words of our Constitution we wield sovereign power but how can we do
19
that responsibly or effectively if we do not have access full access to information about those who are running for office those who are seeking our
20
votes those who are making public policy decisions most of the time when people advocate censorship beyond the emergency situation in which First Amendment law
21
allows speech to be censored most of the part-time people talk about the harm that speech can cause whether it be dissin formation / fake news or whether
22
it be hate speech or whether it be terrorist content and I agree speech have an enormous capacity to do harm as well as an enormous capacity to do good
23
we protect it precisely because it is so powerful but the argument 99.9 percent of the time starts and ends with the potential harm of free speech those who
24
advocate censorship never examine whether censorship is going to be effective in addressing redressing reducing the harm they never address
25
whether censorship to the contrary is going to do more harm than good and every situation that I'm aware of censorship actually ends up being
26
ineffective in addressing the harms at stake at best or counterproductive at worse so disinformation well are we going to
27
say that empowering mark zuckerberg and the other Titans of Silicon Valley to decide that certain speech is untrue is that actually going to solve our
28
political problems I think to the contrary that is as threatening to democracy as it is to individual freedom likewise with respect to so-called hate
29
speech that conveys discriminatory ideas against traditionally marginalized or excluded groups every hate speech law around the world to this day is
30
disproportional and Forrest consistently against the very minority groups who are hoped to be protected and we shouldn't be surprised at that once you have these
31
discretionary standards what is hate speech what is disinformation no two individuals can agree on such inherently subjective concepts and so by definition those who wield power are going to wield
32
their discretion in ways that predictably are going to perpetuate their power and not empower those who have traditionally been silenced or
33
marginalized

Consigli per la pratica

Per ottenere il massimo dalla tua esperienza di shadow speech, ti consigliamo di lavorare su clip brevi. Inizia a ripetere frasi o segmenti di 5-10 secondi, prestando attenzione alla velocità e al tono dell'oratore. Questo video ha un ritmo articolato, quindi cerca di emulare il modo in cui l'oratrice esprime le sue idee. Concentrati sulle intonazioni e sulle pause: non avere fretta, poiché imparare l'inglese con YouTube richiede tempo e pazienza. Esercitati regolarmente per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e sviluppare una maggiore fluidità nella conversazione.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
