[時事英文新聞] 在校園內說英文不然就面對「意想不到的後果」!
Speak English on campus or face “unintended consequences.”
這是美國教育界最新的新聞,提供給各位同學參考。
"A professor stepped down from her position as director of graduate studies in the biostatistics department after an email she sent discouraging Chinese students from speaking in their native tongue went viral."
In all honesty, the director was most likely well-intentioned, doing what she thought was best to help students. However, there are better ways to address the issue. This is a learning opportunity for us all.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
以下是教授發給學生的電子郵件:
“To international students, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep these unintended consequences in mind when you choose to speak in Chinese in the building. I have no idea how hard it has been and still is for you to come to the US and have to learn in a non-native language. As such, I have the upmost [sic] respect for what you are doing. That being said, I encourage you to commit to using English 100% of the time when you are in Hock or any other professional setting.”

The Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights, which advocates the recognition of marriages between same-sex couples, said the US Supreme Court’s decision to rule in favor of the gay community is a significant indicator, adding that Taiwan is one step away from making a similar step after more than 30 years of campaigning.
The alliance’s secretary-general Chien Chih-chieh (簡至潔) said the US is a crucial indicator for the nation, as Taiwanese politicians look to Washington, even though same-sex unions have already been legalized in many European countries.
Homosexual rights advocates first called for recognition of same-sex marriage in Taiwan 30 years ago, Chien said, adding that it is “abominable” that the ruling and opposition parties mothballed a same-sex marriage bill in the legislature. In Taiwan, the issue of legalizing same-sex marriage has remained extremely controversial even to this day.
“Equal right to marriage is not about public opinion, but an issue of human rights,” Chien said, adding that no country that has made the change has had full support from the public. “It is not an issue that should be hindered because it is controversial,” she said.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday said that the US ruling is the result of a prolonged movement and expressed her expectation that Taiwan would eventually follow a similar path. “The ruling is a significant move on equality and human rights, but the US has come a long way, with society engaged in prolonged dialogue before reaching this stage,” Tsai said. She added that “Taiwan is facing a similar issue and we need to bridge the social gap through rational dialogue, so that society can come to a shared way of thinking.”
Additionally, The spokesperson for Chinese National Party (KMT) presidential hopeful, Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱), has expressed similar sentiments, stating that Hung has always been “optimistic and open” about same-sex marriage and believed that “people, as long as they have love for each other, should be protected by law, regardless of gender.”

[6] 7:20 種族歧視的經濟分析 蘇偉文
在歷史上,白人掠奪了黑人的勞動力,導致現今資本較黑人多。再加上社會對黑人的勞動力歧視,限制黑人進入勞動力市場,在供需法則下白人的勞動力價值上升。
[7] 7:32 Frantz Fanon《The Wretched of the Earth》
[8] 11:41 https://www.thequint.com/neon/gender/feminism-black-lives-matter-movements-and-intersectionality
「多元交織性」 (intersectionality) 指的是一個人必定會有多重的身份,例如性別、性傾向、性別認同、年齡、社經地位、國籍、種族、障別等,當種種條件交疊在一起,導致特權與歧視的出現。尤其是多元交織性的歧視,所受到歧視嚴重性更是加劇。
進一步了解:https://reurl.cc/4R2rQ2
[9] 12:59 Leung, Angel, "The Model Minority Myth: (Benevolent) Racism against (Asian) Americans" (2016). 2016 Undergraduate Awards. 14.
冷戰期間美國為了拉攏亞洲國家,亞裔「模範少數族群」成為了美國的活廣告,證明自己是能夠領導多元族群的世界之最。除了在外交上備受利用,在二十世紀黑人爭取民權(Civil Rights Movement)時,白人出現這樣的應對:「黃種人都可以是模範少數族群了,那代表白人的歧視不嚴重、是黑人自身的問題。」
