Charlene: Er, is it the number of births in a population, measured per thousand people per year? Professor: Oh, er no, that’s what we call the birth rate The number of children born in a year, per thousand people No, the fertility rate is the average number of children born per woman in her lifetime, that is, if she lives beyond her child-bearing years Now, you think the British fertility level is higher or lower than it was say twenty years ago? Charlene: I think it’s lower, because these days women are far more focused on their careers than they used to be Professor: Well, that point is certainly true, but actually, fertility levels in Britain are relatively high at the moment In 2008, it was 1.96; that means that on average, each woman gives birth to 1.96 children, and in 2009 it was only slightly lower, at 1.94 The last time fertility rates were this high was back in 1973 In the UK currently, the highest rate of fertility is in Northern Ireland, where the rate is 2.04, and the lowest is in Scotland, where the rate is just 1.77 Charlene: I don’t understand How come fertility rate is going up? Women are just as career-driven these days as they were thirty years ago Professor: Well, the reason is that during the 1990s women really started to delay having families, and that was the reason for the decrease in birth rate then Now those women are in their thirties and early forties, and they are starting to have families So that’s why the birth rate is going up Charlene: Oh, I see, so it’s not actually as if people are actively choosing to have more children than they used to Professor: Yes, that’s right Charlene The number of children per family is continuing to fall Women who are currently in their 70s had an average of 2.4 children Those in their sixties had 2.2, those in their fifties had 2.0, and the current figure is 1.9 Actually, this figure isn’t due to more families choosing to have only one child, although that certainly is occurring, it’s mainly because of the increasing number of women who have Trang / 10 no children at all This figure was in 10 among the age group who are now 65, but now in women in their mid-40s are childless Charlene: I heard that the fertility rate in Europe is, like, really low 1.3 or something Professor: That’s right, Charlene It is It’s far below the replacement level Can you tell me what replacement level means? No? It’s the number of births you need to keep the population constant Charlene: Yes, I heard that in France they’re trying to get people to have more children They even give out gold medals if you have eight! Professor: That’s right So, we’ve already mentioned that women are waiting before having children because of their careers Why else is fertility rate generally decreasing? Charlene: I think they have fewer children because they’re so expensive I mean, I heard one report that said it costs £200,000 a year to raise a child here But I find that difficult to believe People’s standard of living is far higher now than it used to be a hundred years ago when families had eight or nine kids Professor: That’s very true, but these days people’s expectations tend to be higher Parents want their children to have the best opportunities in life, so they’re prepared to pay to develop their children’s talents Charlene: Yes, I heard that in China, where they’re easing off some of the rules of the one child policy and allowing some couples to have two, many parents are still choosing to have one They say it’s just too expensive But, you know, I reckon that, with all this parental micromanagement that’s going on these days, parents only have the time to manage one or two children Professor: That’s a good point So, now I’d like to look at some different organisations, and examine what they believe about the current population issues PART 2: Trang / 10 PART 3: Teacher: Now, let’s move along to the next gallery…whose turn is it to tell us about the next painting? Amanda, is it you? Amanda: Yes, this is the one I’ve prepared Teacher: Good…now I’ve got one or two questions for Amanda to guide us through this painting, so if you could all pay attention, we can get started…Brian…thank you Now, as you can see it’s a pre-Raphaelite painting, so we’re talking 1880,1890…and what can you tell us about this-and other pre-Raphaelite paintings for that matter-compared for what came before? Amanda: Well, there was a very definitely a reaction against some of the earlier concerns – for example the pre-Raphaelites didn’t believe in the idea that it was important to be true to nature or realistic… this is a good example – it’s by the painter Burne-Jones, completed in 1884, and it shows a lot about his philosophy of painting… Trang / 10 Teacher: Ok And what was it exactly? Amanda: Well in his own words, is it ok if I use my notes? Teacher: Yes of course Amanda: He said that a painting should be a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be, in a land that no-one can define or remember, only desire Teacher: So in other words the very opposite of realism – no practical lessons for modern industrial societies or whatever Amanda: Yes, exactly, and this painting is in many ways very typical of Burne-Jones – in fact his wife later said it was his most distinctive work, the one that really summed up what he thought Teacher: OK tell us about the story it tells Amanda: It’s called King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid, and it’s based on an old legend from early medieval times about a king who falls in love with a beggar girl, and finds that his love for her is greater than all his wealth and power Teacher: Was it a well-known story? Amanda: Yes – most people knew it well, but only through reading Tennyson’s poetry, in which he wrote about it, rather than from the original story Teacher: So it’s another example of what we were talking about earlier – the link between the romantic movement in literature and the movements in art … go on Amanda: In the painting, the artist imagines the King sitting at the girl’s feet, gazing at her adoration Burne-Jones said he was determined that the King should look like a king and the beggar should look like a Queen, and he had certain details such as the crown and the maid’s dress specially made for him so that he could capture the detail The setting has echoes of 15th century Itallian art, particularly Mantegna and Crivelli, and it’s all elaborately decorated with highly wrought textures and jewel-like colours If you look at the clothing you can see what I mean The two characters in the background have got these rich following clothes, and there’s the same richness in the King’s following cloak Teacher: So what is he trying to tell us about here… what about these anemones… they have any particular significance you think? Trang / 10 Amanda: Yes, the maid is holding a bunch of anemones, and if you look closely you can see that some of them have fallen on the steps by the King The flowers are a symbol of unrequited love, and there’s a lot of personal feeling in this painting, as there is in much of his work At the time he was doing this, Burne-Jones had met and fallen in love with a girl called Frances Graham, but she then married someone else So it’s likely that the King represents Burne-Jones and the represents Frances Graham, and the painting shows his feelings about losing the woman he loved Teacher: Are there any other themes that the audience in 1884 would have recognized apart from on this personal level? Amanda: Yes, to the general public it would have had a completely different meaning, which they have recognized quite easily – they would interpret the painting as being about the rejection of worldly wealth and the elevation of love above everything else Teacher: Yes, absolutely… and that was a message that was very close to Burne-Jone’s heart … PART 4: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJtn5VOk1xI) Shipped in from around the world to one of the main ports for solid waste, some of the millions of tons of scrap metal that China possesses every year, among the most valuable scrap e-waste from the last generation of devices the world no longer wants, from laptops to mobile phones In nearby villages in this part of Eastern China, evidence’s everywhere of the hazards caused by recycling toxic components A government crackdown on unregulated processing has forced recyclers to take refuge in concealed yards, a potential resource but a pollution nightmare It is a nuisance, too, for those people unlucky enough to live next to the port “The situation is worse now compared with when we moved in a few years ago The pollution is more serious and is very bad for our health” “Well, more than 2/3 of the world’s scrap devices find their way to China, an increasing amount of the e-waste being processed here is homegrown, a trend that will continue with rising affluence” Trang / 10 At a plant outside Beijing, some of the TV and computer monitors on their way to a new recycled existence Able to handle nearly 2.5 million devices per year, this plant is operating at about two-thirds capacity but it won’t be long before China’s appetite for newer devices means the plant will be operating at full strength “The amount of e-waste keeps increasing as Chinese people see their living standards rise, people are buying a wide range of electronics and dumping more of their existing devices” With currently less than a hundred plants like this one operating throughout the whole of China, it is a sector that is set to expand A new growth business making a living from outdated technology GIÁO VIÊN RA ĐỀ Trịnh Ngọc Xuân Thảo SĐT: 0702.455.557 Trang 10 / 10
