Can humor change mentalities and allows people to change their behavior in the society?
According to Donnelly humor could help people to break laws, to get free from a "ideal" behavior.
I agree with the principle of Donnelly. Humor is a weapon which helps to pass a message in an indirect way.
People feel less hurt when we criticize them through the humor! It is true that the entertainments generally makes fun of human behavior in the society .The authors often try to show that we are "conditioned"("packaged") by laws of behavior.
The woman holds an important place in this speach, and I think that humor is a spine, even when looked for a woman!Personally, I figure that women have much more humor and auto-mockery than men.Women have an important role in the society. They pass on values to children. they also educate them.
In my opinion humor very important quality. I think that humor allows to have a good glance on the world and the society.
I think that humor does not change according to societies or according to countries but that it is rather censored in certain countries and in certain cultures.
However, it is true that an old person does not laugh at the same things than a child or a teenager. I think that this difference is also for men and women even if both sexes can laugh about the same things.
Sandra Laoura is famous because she was a champion of bump skiing. she was one of the best french acrobatic skier. Sandra won four medals in the World Cup and one medal during the Olympics games in Turin (2006).
unfortunatlt, this sport is dangerous and Sandra laoura was injured very hard. In fact, she lost the use of hes both legs in a terrible crash during the trainings in Quebec. Actually, she landed on the her back and this fall has broken two vertebrae.
In spite of the pain and the disappointment Sandra Laoura never allowed herself to bring down and she is reconverting.
She becomes consultant for French television channels, in particular for Channel+ and Eurosport.
Sandra Laoura is an exmple of strength and character. Dispite of her physical handicap she continues to work for her sport. Pump skiing was all its life, she(it) is going to continue to evolve in environment by lending her eye of expert.
In my opinion, she is an example because, for example, she went to the Olympic Games in Vancouver as a consultant. If this accident did not happended, she would be competitor and even the favorite one. Even if it is hard for her she continues to work for her sport admirably. She's a great example for everybody. even if life strikes you, you should never giver up.
I chose the work of art which is situated at 6 minutes 04. It is about a black and white picture. There are two monuments. the first on is a museum with white and modern colors. And the second one is an oldest monument which shelters a cabaret of jazz. We observ the contrast between American and African cultures. This picture shows the cohabitation of both cultures and I find it well. I like this work because I like the photography. I think the contrast is interesting at an aesthetic level and also because the meaning touches me.
Art can change people's vision. According to Thelma Golden, especilly prejudices on a culture. It is about the afro-American culture, the culture which tries to assert itself in the USA.
With histories history of racial hatred, prejudices, the art would allows to open the dialogue and the reflection.
Indeed, a person is going to think that a black artist would necessarily going to show the former treatments of black population and a "white" artist would show the good cohabitation. Art is supposed to play of judje to get the truth. Museums have also an important role. A museum allows the transmission of a culture but also allows the artists to express their vision to the public. Furthermore museums mix the opinions, the points of view and various culture.
Consider the artists, not as the suppliers, although they are very strong in this domain, but one more time, as of real catalysts.
I agree with this quotation. The artists through their art activate and accelerates the reactions in front of subjects. A work of art allows the intercultural dialogue, the opinions would be different but the dialogue should be rich. Every artist in a way of passing on the history, its culture and the way he shares it. So we discover through the artist and his art his vision. He activates at once positive or negative reactions.
