Unit 1 Peeping Tom

Read the poem Godiva by Lord Tennyson and answer the questions

Godiva 1

a spire: pointed top of a building to prate: to talk in a silly way for a long time about unimportant things grim: hopeless, horrible to fillip: to strike with the nail of a finger snapped from the end of the thumb to repeal: to state officially that a law has ended a herald: a messenger a bower: a woman’s bedroom

Unit 1 Peeping Tom

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I waited for the train at Coventry; I hung with grooms and porters on the bridge, To watch the three tall spires*; and there I shaped The city’s ancient legend into this: Not only we, the latest seed of Time, New men, that in the flying of a wheel Cry down the past, not only we, that prate* Of rights and wrongs, have loved the people well, And loathed to see them overtax’d; but she Did more, and underwent, and overcame, The woman of a thousand summers back, Godiva, wife to that grim* Earl, who ruled In Coventry: for when he laid a tax Upon his town, and all the mothers brought Their children, clamoring, “If we pay, we starve!” She sought her lord, and found him, where he strode About the hall, among his dogs, alone, His beard a foot before him and his hair A yard behind. She told him of their tears, And pray’d him, “If they pay this tax, they starve.” Whereat he stared, replying, half-amazed, “You would not let your little finger ache For such as these?” – “But I would die,” said she. He laugh’d, and swore by Peter and by Paul; Then fillip’d* at the diamond in her ear; “Oh ay, ay, ay, you talk!” – “Alas!” she said, “But prove me what I would not do.” And from a heart as rough as Esau’s hand, He answer’d, “Ride you naked thro’ the town, And I repeal* it;” and nodding, as in scorn, He parted, with great strides among his dogs. So left alone, the passions of her mind, As winds from all the compass shift and blow, Made war upon each other for an hour, Till pity won. She sent a herald* forth, And bade him cry, with sound of trumpet, all The hard condition; but that she would loose The people: therefore, as they loved her well, From then till noon no foot should pace the street, No eye look down, she passing; but that all Should keep within, door shut, and window barr’d. Then fled she to her inmost bower*, and there Unclasp’d the wedded eagles of her belt,

The grim Earl’s gift; but ever at a breath She linger’d, looking like a summer moon Half-dipt in cloud: anon she shook her head, And shower’d the rippled ringlets to her knee; Unclad herself in haste; adown the stair Stole on; and, like a creeping sunbeam, slid From pillar unto pillar, until she reach’d The Gateway, there she found her palfrey* trapt In purple blazon’d with armorial gold. Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity: The deep air listen’d round her as she rode, And all the low wind hardly breathed for fear. The little wide-mouth’d heads upon the spout Had cunning eyes to see: the barking cur Made her cheek flame; her palfrey’s foot-fall shot Light horrors thro’ her pulses; the blind walls Were full of chinks and holes*; and overhead Fantastic gables*, crowding, stared: but she Not less thro’ all bore up, till, last, she saw The white-flower’d elder-thicket from the field, Gleam thro’ the Gothic archway in the wall. Then she rode back, clothed on with chastity; And one low churl, compact of thankless earth, The fatal byword of all years to come, Boring a little auger*-hole in fear, Peep’d – but his eyes, before they had their will, Were shrivel’d into darkness in his head, And dropt before him. So the Powers, who wait On noble deeds, cancell’d a sense misused; And she, that knew not, pass’d: and all at once, With twelve great shocks of sound, the shameless noon Was clash’d and hammer’d from a hundred towers, One after one: but even then she gain’d Her bower; whence reissuing, robed and crown’d, To meet her lord, she took the tax away And built herself an everlasting name.

There may be peeping, but Godiva is not powerless. What happens to peeping Tom?

The Victorian poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson was born in 1809 and he died in 1892. During his lifetime, he began to see many changes in society, particularly in the way the roles of women are perceived. In Victorian England, women only belonged in the private sphere. However, the women’s movement in England was becoming more active. Women wanted to vote, work and own property. In the light of all this, what can you say about the character of Godiva and the way Tennyson portrays her in this poem? In what ways Godiva wants to stay inside, in what ways, she breaks out?

8) How important is nudity in this poem? Is nudity what defines the power of Godiva? 9) Are there any differences between private and public nowadays? And between male and female? 10) Can you give examples of how nudity is used today to cross these spheres?

Britain should not fear fiscal voyeurism By Martin Sandbu

Tax publicity could make people relaxed about money, says Martin Sandbu. A few years ago I came across a stack of old newspapers, circa 1921. They chronicled the goings-on in the Norwegian village of Vaga, from where my grandfather hailed*. Among wedding announcements, notices of cattle markets and other articles whose relevance was strictly circumscribed by both time and geography, one page grabbed my attention. It listed the top 10 local residents by income and wealth, as declared in that year’s tax return. I was amused to see that on both criteria, farmer Tor Sandbu – my great-grandfather – appeared in second place, though the distance between him and number one settled him among the comfortable rather than the super-rich. I do not expect Financial Times readers to care too much about my family history. But given the British brouhaha about whether politicians should make their tax affairs public, my journey into the past may kindle* some interest. Indeed, it is amazing what can come from a foul-mouthed* exchange in a lift between Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone. Both of these London mayoral candidates have now released some tax information. David Cameron and Nick Clegg say that they support more disclosure in principle, too. It seems like the Norwegian press were on to something all those years ago.

to hail from: to be from a particular place to kindle interest: to arouse interest foul-mouthed: dirty, offensive worked up: agitated or excited to forfeit: to lose something valuable by making a mistake or by doing something wrong to whet: make sharp, arouse, excite a slope: a rising of falling surface

Unit 1 Peeping Tom

But the local newspaper’s reporting was not the result of investigative journalism. In 1921, the wealth and income declared in every Norwegian’s tax return were by law in the public domain, as were the amounts of income and wealth taxes that were owed. All it took was the recognition that “human interest” stories are often stories of how others are much better off or much worse off than yourself. And so it remains today. Although the exact level of access has varied over the decades, today’s Norwegians have the same ability as their great-grandfathers to pursue the rewarding pastime of checking how much the neighbour, or the prime minister, earns and owns. Every year they indulge in this

fiscal voyeurism; every year the newspapers exploit it for what it is worth; every year a few very rich people with suspiciously low tax liabilities are outed; and very quickly, life goes back to normal. I realize that to the British, the unveiling of people’s financial lives ranks slightly above the baring of their anatomy on the scale of indecency. But getting worked up* about nakedness – whether of the bodily or the pecuniary kind – is not always a healthy idea. Britons should consider how unproblematic tax publicity is in Norway and in the few other countries that practise it regularly. Here in the UK, the debate is so far limited to whether senior politicians such as Mr Johnson and members of the cabinet should make their tax affairs public. I find it hard to see how anyone can object to this – even if one thinks that tax return information is something of the most intimate nature. Politicians hold the power to decide what we should all pay into the nation’s common fund. More than that: they have actively sought that power over us. By doing so, they forfeit* any claim to privacy that is incompatible with proper checks on the power they gain. If we believe in democracy, surely we must demand to know how we are all affected by the policies chosen by politicians. Otherwise, how are we to judge whether they are acting in the common interest or in their own? Or whether they abide by the decisions they impose on the rest of us? But a principle can be defeated if its consequences are too awful. That’s the best argument for those who worry about politicians’ sudden eagerness to let it all hang out, financially speaking. If this catches on, they fear, it will whet* the worst instincts of man. “This will induce the politics of envy,” David Davis, the Conservative backbencher, has warned. His parliamentary colleague Ian Liddell-Grainger goes further: “It is an abominable slope*,” he says, implying that it

may lead to pressure for all of our tax affairs to be made public, not just those of politicians. Let me make a radical suggestion. The Scandinavian experience suggests that the bottom of that slippery slope may be a much more comfortable place than Mr Liddell-Grainger fears – and it is certainly an easier place to settle than part way down the hill. If politicians are routinely going to publish their annual returns, it is well worth considering making all taxpayers’ basic tax information public.

to keep tabs on: to observe: an anomaly: something unusual, unexpected Source: www.ft.com

There is a democratic argument for this, if not as strong as the one to keep tabs on* rulers. It is that it is every citizen’s duty to pay a fair share of the costs of the nation’s common affairs, and it is every citizen’s right to know that this is happening. This – and the thought that it may well encourage compliance – is why the US Congress, in the early days of the income tax, determined that tax lists should be available on request to “any and all persons”, and why some American localities would have people’s tax return information pinned to town hall doors. But the practical case is stronger. For in the long run, tax publicity is more likely

to reduce, not increase, the importance of money and envy in politics. This is partly because publicity would discourage people from tax avoidance that is legal but condemned by public norms, and partly because publicity would change public attitudes to many tax rules when the anomalies* they lead to become more visible. One hopes it could create pressure for a simpler, more predictable tax system. But most of all, it could make people a bit more relaxed about money – even if we’ll never be as “intensely relaxed” as Peter Mandelson once claimed to be about how much the richest earned. After a while, there would be less to find out that we do not know, and less that would be likely to shock. Except, of course, for those features of the tax system that are shocking because they are unjust. But surely that is exactly how it should be. I will declare an interest: public tax information will of course benefit journalists. But consider the possibility that it might benefit us all, and not cause the sky to fall down once we get used to it. Most importantly of all: it might just give unexpected joys to your great-grandchildren.

The bare facts about Greek art First-time museum viewers may be surprised to find that most sculpture of Greek gods, heroes, and athletes are shown without clothes. This is because the Greeks were the first people to discover how to realistically portray and even â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;improveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the human body in art â&#x20AC;&#x201C; giving it beautifully proportioned limbs, well-developed muscles, and idealized contours. What better way to honor gods and heroes than to show them in their perfect natural form? Covering the body with clothes only concealed its natural beauty. For this reason, Greek society accepted nudity. Athletes practiced and competed in the nude, and countless statues honoring them were placed in public spaces.

Source: Museum of Artand Archeology, Addressing nudity in art

But there are many reasons artists nowadays choose to portray the human body or form without clothing. First, the human form is beautiful, making it an ideal subject for art. Moreover, the human body can be expressive. Third, the human form is part

of the commonality which holds the human race together. It is familiar to all peoples regardless of background, sex, education, culture, or ethnic identity. Thus, artists often use the human form in their art to express universal truths and to address those ideas or concepts which bind all human beings together. Because of our familiarity with the human form, artists can use the human form to symbolize human values, for instance a pregnant woman or nursing mother often symbolizes innocence. Also, artists can use distortion of the body or simplification of human form to achieve an emotional recognition and intellectual response to the artwork from the viewer because of our immediate identification with the human form. Last but not least, the human body is anatomically consistent, which makes it a good subject to represent realistically. Throughout history artists have gone to great lengths, including dissection, to examine human anatomy to achieve artistic accuracy. Unit 1 Peeping Tom

Are you a digital voyeur? Has technology whetted our secret appetite for spying on other people? The scenario plays out often enough across America that it’s a frightening commonplace. A girl sends a nude sext to her boyfriend and, later, someone – it could be the boy after the breakup or someone who has access to his cell – hits ‘send’ and the image goes viral. Lives are changed and sometimes ruined. ‘Maddie,’ now 22, saw it happen to a girl in her high school and, yes, she was one of the recipients of the sext. I ask her how she felt about it: “I felt sorry for the girl,” she says. Did she send the image on? No, but she did show it to a few of her girlfriends. I ask if she thought that was creepy. No, because she didn’t send it. Didn’t that make her feel as if she were a voyeur or something? “No,” she says. “I didn’t ask to look at it. It was sent to me. And, besides, stuff like that happens.” Does the word ‘voyeur’ still have meaning in the digital age when we’ve all become ‘watchers’ in one way or another? When the line between public and private has become increasingly permeable*? There are still old-fashioned voyeurs around – like the guy with his binoculars on the terrace in the high rise* across from mine, which I suspect aren’t trained on bird watching, but they’re few and far between, and harder to spot because voyeurism is the new normal. permeable: that can be permeated or penetrated a high rise: a multistoried building equipped with elevators thomasina: feminine form of the given name Thomas skivvies: men’s underwear unwitting: without fully realising to be privy to: knowing something secret or private Source: www.psychologytoday.com

Unit 1 Peeping Tom

The celebrity culture turns us all, willing or not, into Peeping Toms or Thomasinas*, as does the 24/7 cycle of news. Monica’s blue dress, Tiger Wood’s texts, Rielle Hunter whispering “You’re hot,” Anthony Weiner’s skivvies* – the list goes on and on – made voyeurs of us all. Reality television and, of course, pornography are the plats du jour on the voyeuristic menu. Of course, watching reality television isn’t strictly speaking voyeuristic since it’s scripted and the ‘stars’ know you’re watching. Still, it’s a guilty pleasure nonetheless that’s close to the heart of voyeurism – of peeking into private territory where you shouldn’t be.

Being a voyeur nowadays isn’t just about sex or watching in the literal sense. Former lovers become voyeurs when they check out each other’s Facebook pages, or – if they’ve been ‘defriended’ – have someone else do it for them. The ease with which the drama – whether it’s a text message thread or something else – can be forwarded and shared sometimes turns a Millennial into an unwitting* voyeur as well, in the middle of private drama he or she shouldn’t be privy to*. Voyeurism has the ability to desensitize, making people content to watch, instead of act. Dramas played out in public – witness the relationship between Yeardley Love and George Huguely which ended in her murder – turn even friends into voyeurs who, alas, were content to watch. The usually sunny posts on Facebook – particularly by people we hardly know – don’t make us feel as though we’re peeping, though that too can change in an instant, as it did for one woman not too long ago. “I couldn’t help myself,” she tells me, “but here’s someone I hardly know, confiding all of these incredibly intimate details about her marriage in her posts. I kept going back online to read. She was clearly in the middle of a meltdown but it’s Facebook. I’ve never even spoken to her in person. What was I supposed to do? Call her?” She didn’t, of course, and then things got even stranger. The person disappeared from Facebook and deleted her page. “I had no idea what happened to her, and I felt incredibly uncomfortable. Then, weeks later, she re-friended me and she was back. Her posts were the kind of things people post all the time – chat about gardens and the day and so forth. She never mentioned what happened –whatever did happen – ever again.” Is it all that different, in the end, from training your binoculars on the neighbors across the street? Is the new voyeurism making it harder to connect and easier to just stand there, watching? You tell me.

What Makes a Good Blog? Focus, personality and reader comments are key to building an audience, say popular bloggers

By William Kraska The Internet contains nearly 3 million active blogs, according to one recent count, with topics ranging from politics to movies, to food, to the emotional ramblings* of highschool teens. With so many blogs, how does one become popular? What qualities will distinguish a blog from the massive congestion in the blogosphere? Blogs become successful because of specificity and passion, according to Kevin Donahue, co-creator of Fanblogs, a college football blog described by Forbes.com as the best blog dedicated to a single sport.

ramblings: excessive and meaningless talk or writing snarky: cynical, sarcastic Source: http://journalism.nyu.edu

“Repeat visitors feel an ownership and loyalty to the blog. They will police comments, pointing out when someone is out of line.” “Have a single focus about a topic you really enjoy, and put a little of yourself into it,” he says. Fanblogs prospers because college football already has a loyal fan base. “And that passion translates into a loyal readership.” Reader comments are a significant factor in blog popularity, according to several bloggers.

Daniel Kasman, a writer for the popular film discussion blog MilkPlus, agrees. Posted comments will keep a blog “fresh and full of discourse,” he says. Lockhart Steele, the managing editor of blog publisher Gawker Media, says that after a blog develops an audience, readers will submit tips and fact-check stories. They basically “do all of the work for you.” But before a blog is able to rely on its readers to help it succeed, a blogger must sometimes wait months, or even years, before a regular following develops. While some bloggers believe that they’re going to attract regular commenters within days of launching their blogs, Holiday of Fanblogs says, “it doesn’t happen like that.” Modifying a quote from the movie “Field of Dreams,” he says: “If you build it, they will come … slowly.”

Blogs: electronic exhibitionism? Electronic exhibitionism describes the increasing worldwide phenomenon of individuals eviscerating* their own privacy by affirmatively posting and distributing private and intimate information, thoughts, activities and photographs via email, text messaging, blogs, and social networking pages. Electronic voyeurism is descriptive of the related phenomenon of individuals and employers, who are members of what Daniel J. Solove has described as Generation Google, searching, indexing and distributing electronic exhibitionist material of others. It is clear that both electronic exhibitionism and voyeurism are on the rise.

to eviscerate: to take away a vital or essential part of, to weaken an aperture: a small narrow hole or opening reluctance: unwillingness to bare: to uncover, reveal reciprocal: interchanged, given, or owed to each other to coin: to create, invent an inhibition: something that holds you back or restrains you from doing or thinking something, a restriction Source: William A. Herbert, Workplace Consequences of Electronic Exhibitionism and Voyeurism

If offered the opportunity, most reasonable people would decline an opportunity for the expansive and wholesale disclosure of information about their personal lives and activities or the display of intimate pictures in a periodical or on a billboard. To varying degrees, such disclosures are usually limited to select individuals with the aperture* and the means of disclosure subjectively modulated for each intended recipient. With the exception of letters, notes and diary entries, a written record of intimate experiences and impressions is not left behind. Inherent in such limitations is a desire to retain a protected zone of individual privacy. Despite the general reluctance* to bare* all through old media, new communicative technologies are leading, if not encouraging, individuals to engage in an unprecedented degree of exhibitionism about their personal lives, thoughts and activities to a virtual worldwide audience. Frequently, such communications relate directly or indirectly to work or co-workers and have the potential for causing negative employment consequences. Despite the potential for adverse consequences, millions, if not billions of people, are unmasking themselves electronically through email, text messaging, blogs, and social networking pages leaving a digital trail of information thereby eliminating plausible deniability. Many engage in such exhibitionism during working hours utilizing employer computers and equipment.

The growth in electronic exhibitionism may be caused, in part, by what Clifford Nass and Youngme Moon have labeled “reciprocal* self-disclosure” where “people who receive intimate disclosure feel obligated to respond with a personal disclosure of equal intimacy.” The tendency may also be due to the amorphous nature of virtual social networks that extend well beyond family and friends to workplace colleagues, acquaintances and strangers. Finally, in some circumstances, the exhibitionism may be a consequence of errors in judgment tied with cognitive lapses caused by chronic multitasking. Three decades ago, sociologist Philip Slater coined* a metaphor for the cultural phenomenon of ignoring social problems by placing them out of view: the toilet assumption. The toilet assumption is also applicable to the disconnection between the electronic communicator and his or her digital trail. There is a perception of privacy when an individual electronically communicates, along with an implicit assumption that the audience is limited to the named recipient or the group of social network friends. The use of password protections can have the unintended consequence of creating a false sense of security. Moreover, the use of the delete button creates the illusion of permanency, which lowers inhibitions*, personal, sexual or otherwise, with respect to the content of the electronic communications.

What do you think the quote on the previous page means? It’s a quote from the novel 1984 by the English writer George Orwell, published in 1948.

a heresy: a belief or action contrary to what is accepted.

I tell you Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes*: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the party holds to be truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party. “How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.” “Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

Unit 1 Peeping Tom

In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy* of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?

George Orwell • 25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950 • real name Eric Arthur Blair • English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic • “Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

to cauterise: to burn or freeze the flesh around a wound vile: horrible, unpleasant a clump: a thick grouping of trees or bushes a shrub: a plant of low height sallow: pale, unhealthy

He put the white knight back in its place, but for the moment he could not settle down to serious study of the chess problem. His thoughts wandered again. Almost unconsciously he traced with his finger in the dust on the table: 2+2=5 ‘They can’t get inside you,’ she had said. But they could get inside you. ‘What happens to you here is FOR EVER,’ O’Brien had said. That was a true word. There were things, your own acts, from which you could never recover. Something was killed in your breast: burnt out, cauterised out*. He had seen her; he had even spoken to her. There was no danger in it. He knew as though instinctively that they now took almost no interest in his doings. He could have arranged to meet her a second time if either of them had wanted to. Actually it was by chance that they had met. It was in the Park, on a vile*, biting day in March, when the earth was like iron and all the grass seemed dead and there was not a bud anywhere except a few crocuses which had pushed themselves up to be dismembered by the wind. He was hurrying along with frozen hands and watering eyes when he saw her not ten metres away from him. It struck him at once that she had changed in some ill-defined way. They almost passed one another without a sign, then he turned and followed her, not very eagerly. He knew that there was no danger, nobody would take any interest in him. She did not speak. She walked obliquely away across the grass as though trying to get rid of him, then seemed to resign herself to having him at her side. Presently they were in among a clump* of ragged leafless shrubs*, useless either for concealment or as protection from the wind. They halted. It was vilely cold. The wind whistled through the twigs and fretted the occasional, dirty-looking crocuses. He put his arm round her waist. There was no telescreen, but there must be hidden microphones: besides, they could be seen. It did not matter, nothing mattered. They could have lain down on the ground and done THAT if they had wanted to. His flesh froze with horror at the thought of it. She made no response whatever to the clasp of his arm; she did not even try to disengage herself. He knew now what had changed in her. Her face was sallower*, and there was a long scar, partly hidden by the hair, across her forehead and temple; but that was not the change. It was that her waist had grown thicker, and, in a surprising way, had stiffened. He remembered how once, after the explosion of a rocket bomb, he had helped to drag a corpse out of some ruins, and had been astonished not only by the incredible weight of the thing, but by its rigidity and awkwardness to handle, which made it seem more like stone than flesh. Her body felt like that. It occurred to him that the texture of her skin would be quite different from what it had once been. He did not attempt to kiss her, nor did they speak. As they walked back across the grass, she looked directly at him for the first time. It was only a momentary glance, full of contempt and dislike. He wondered whether it was a dislike that came purely out of the past or whether it was inspired also by his bloated face and the water that the wind kept squeezing from his eyes. They sat down on two iron chairs, side by side but not too close together. He saw that she was about to speak. She moved her clumsy shoe a few centimetres and deliberately crushed a twig. Her feet seemed to have grown broader, he noticed. ‘I betrayed you,’ she said baldly. ‘I betrayed you,’ he said.

Unit 1 Peeping Tom

She gave him another quick look of dislike. ‘Sometimes,’ she said, ‘they threaten you with something you can’t stand up to, can’t even think about. And then you say, “Don’t do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to so-and-so.” And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn’t really mean it. But that isn’t true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there’s no other way of saving yourself, and you’re quite ready to save yourself that way. You WANT it to happen to the other person. You don’t give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself.’ ‘All you care about is yourself,’ he echoed. ‘And after that, you don’t feel the same towards the other person any longer.’ ‘No,’ he said, ‘you don’t feel the same.’ There did not seem to be anything more to say. The wind plastered their thin overalls against their bodies. Almost at once it became embarrassing to sit there in silence: besides, it was too cold to keep still. She said something about catching her Tube and stood up to go. ‘We must meet again,’ he said. ‘Yes,’ she said, ‘we must meet again.’ He followed irresolutely for a little distance, half a pace behind her. They did not speak again. She did not actually try to shake him off, but walked at just such a speed as to prevent his keeping abreast of her. He had made up his mind that he would accompany her as far as the Tube station, but suddenly this process of trailing along in the cold seemed pointless and unbearable. He was overwhelmed by a desire not so much to get away from Julia as to get back to the Chestnut Tree Cafe, which had never seemed so attractive as at this moment. He had a nostalgic vision of his corner table, with the newspaper and the chessboard and the ever-flowing gin. Above all, it would be warm in there. The next moment, not altogether by accident, he allowed himself to become separated from her by a small knot of people. He made a half-hearted attempt to catch up, then slowed down, turned, and made off in the opposite direction. When he had gone fifty metres he looked back. The street was not crowded, but already he could not distinguish her. Any one of a dozen hurrying figures might have been hers. Perhaps her thickened, stiffened body was no longer recognisable from behind. ‘At the time when it happens,’ she had said, ‘you do mean it.’ He had meant it. He had not merely said it, he had wished it. He had wished that she and not he should be delivered over to the Something changed in the music that trickled from the telescreen. A cracked and jeering* note, a yellow note, came into it. And then – perhaps it was not happening, perhaps it was only a memory taking on the semblance of sound – a voice was singing: ‘Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me ’ The tears welled up in his eyes. A passing waiter noticed that his glass was empty and came back with the gin bottle. (…) jeering: mocking, derisive blissful: happy

Hearing thoughts is never like what you see on television or read in books. People don’t walk around thinking in complete sentences, let alone whole paragraphs of exposition. If GTX’s experiment had continued after me, there would have been whole teams of people like me – all of us able to communicate silently with one another as we spied on the enemy or moved in for a kill. But with untrained human minds, it was a mess. Everybody shouting scattered words and phrases at the top of their lungs, essentially. And sometimes I only got pictures or feelings. It was hard to tell what was going on in someone’s head – on the rare occasions when I wanted to – especially when there were lots of people around, jostling* and shoving*, their minds as jumbled* and out of sorts as their bodies. … not me. Thank God. … just so mean … … makes me look fat. I know it. This is going to be awesome!

The best I could determine was that the people buzzing about whatever was going on were coming from the opposite direction. The people around us, slowly moving upstream in the hall, were still caught up in their mundane worries about homeroom* and what they were wearing. Jenna laughed. “You spaced on me again, didn’t you?” I grimaced. “Sorry. Just thinking things through.” Normally I would have let it go. The last time I’d sensed so many minds in an uproar, the cafeteria had been serving French fries on a Tater Tot day*. Who cares? But this … this was different. It felt more personal, and I didn’t know why. “Zane!” Jenna chirped, and bolted ahead of me. Bradshaw was leaning against a wall, head and shoulders above everyone else, right at the intersection by our lockers. A quick flash of weary patience crossed his face when he saw Jenna, but he

hid it quickly enough that she didn’t catch it, thankfully. He greeted her civilly enough, and paid attention to whatever she was describing with great animation – lots of big hand motions, exaggerated expressions, and giggling. Oh God, Jenna … No matter what had happened over the last week, one thing I could guarantee had not occurred was Zane Bradshaw developing a sudden interest in a girl he’d never acknowledged as alive before. I cringed* in expectation of some humiliating putdown, but Zane just smiled down at Jenna with that same mildly exasperated benevolence* humans usually reserve for adorable puppies trying to chew their shoelaces. We shouldn’t have done it. The clarity of that single thought and the punch of accompanying shame from Zane blasted through the rest of the noise. That’s when I got one image from Zane Bradshaw’s head loud and clear, no distortion. A locker smeared with some kind of white paste, the words “Pain In My Ass” scrawled in flowing cursive at the top, flattened tubes of Preparation H* dangling from the ventilation slats where the contents had been squeezed inside … and Rachel’s smiling face.

Privacy by Robert William Service

Robert William Service • 16 January 1874 – 11 September 1958 • England-born, Scotland-raised poet and writer • “Be sure your wisest words are those you do not say.”

a reed: a tall, slender plant bold: fearless, courageous Source: Robert William Service, Bar-Room Ballads

Oh you who are shy of the popular eye, (Though most of us seek to survive it) Just think of the goldfish who wanted to die Because she could never be private. There are pebbles and reeds* for aquarium needs Of eel and of pike who are bold* fish; But who gives a thought to a sheltering spot For the sensitive soul of a goldfish? So the poor little thing swam around in a ring, In a globe of a crystalline crudity; Swam round and swam round, but no refuge she found From the public display of her nudity; No weedy retreat for a cloister discreet, From the eye of the mob to exempt her; Can you wonder she paled, and her appetite failed,Till even a fly couldn’t tempt her? I watched with dismay as she faded away; Each day she grew slimmer and slimmer. From an amber hat burned, to a silver she turned Then swiftly was dimmer and dimmer. No longer she gleamed, like a spectre she seemed, One morning I anxiously sought her: I only could stare – she no longer was there … She’d simply dissolved in the water. So when you behold bright fishes of gold, In globes of immaculate purity; Just think how they’d be more contented and free If you gave them a little obscurity.

Facial recognition

Read the text and answer the questions.

Big Brother is big business If you thought that facial recognition software was just some obscure, futuristic technology that only has real-life applications in sci-fi flicks* like ‘Minority Report’ and ‘Gattaca,’ think again. The ability of computers to identify faces has gotten 100 times better, a million times faster, and exponentially cheaper. They can track your whereabouts, mine your personal data, and even predict your social security number.

a flick: informal; a cinema film a drone: a pilotless aircraft operated by remote control surreptitious: sneaky, secret a brick-and-mortar business: a traditional business that does not operate on the Internet to leverage: to exert power or influence on Source: www.businessinsider.com

Carnegie Mellon’s science lab created a toy drone* outfitted with facial recognition software so advanced that it can identify a face from a far distance. The lab’s research is expected to take surveillance to a whole other level. The facial recognition software can either capture real people from its cameras or convert a flat image into a 3D model. The software maps people’s faces with dots and then creates a “faceprint” as unique as fingerprints. The image produced can be matched with pre-existing photos stored in databases. Faceprints can be used for an individual’s security needs. For example, to make sure no one accesses private files on a mobile device, a user would be able to use his or her faceprint as the sole password. But faceprints can also be used by advertisers. Companies are developing digital billboards for shopping malls that surreptitiously* scan shoppers’ faces to determine gender and age. Advertisers would use facial recognition in mall billboards, for example, to tailor its message to the specific consumer looking at the signage. In this instance, a teenage girl sees a shoe promotion held at a shop a few stores down. But it’s not just billboards. Several national chains are installing facial recognition cameras in the eyes of mannequins to covertly profile their customers. Hitachi

is developing surveillance cameras that can detect its customers faces. Online companies are going to town building large data banks of faceprints which are filled with images retrieved from social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. They are developing ways to link our faces to our online profiles and shopping history. A new app called Facedeals allows marketers to track consumers off-line as much as they do online. The company installs cameras at the entrance of brick-and-mortar* businesses that scan customers’ faces. If said customer opts into the app on Facebook and verifies his or her photograph, then Facedeals texts them about good deals while shopping inside. According to Carnegie Mellon information technology and public policy professor Alessandro Acquisti, smart phones may make facial searches as common as Google searches. His research revealed that facial recognition software can sometimes even access social security numbers.

There are some counter-measures people can take to avoid getting scanned by surveillance cameras. Some people are overlaying their faces with patterns that interfere with face recognition algorithms. To leverage* facial recognition technology, the FBI has installed rows of servers to store the world’s largest biometric database. So far, the initiative has cost them over a billion dollars. But don’t worry, you have to have a criminal record in order for the feds to legally save your image. Unit 1 Peeping Tom

Facial recognition uses a faceprint. What is this?

What are the advantages of facial recognition?

What are the disadvantages?

How can you protect your faceprint?

rotecting people against Big Brother on the internet is starting to become big business as well. P Surf the internet and find at least two companies who provide this service. What does it cost?

Do you think facial recognition is a good or a bad thing? Explain.

8 Digging deeper Formulating a research question

After you have decided on your topic, you formulate a research question. Your research question defines what you are going to study about this topic. In a nutshell, a research question is important because it narrows down your research and prevents you from doing too much work. To get a good question, you should ask yourself these things: 1) Do I know the topic well? If you don’t know anything about your topic, you will have to do a lot of research before you are comfortable. Moreover, it will be much more difficult to answer the following questions. This unit deals with blogging. So an assignment could be to do research about blogging. Let’s assume you are a football fan. You may not know much about blogging, but you do know a thing or two about football. So you decide to link the two: your research will be about football blogs, as you know this topic. Since you know this topic well, you are well aware of the fact that people are always interested in it. 2) What are the important research questions in this field? What do people want to know about this topic? As you are aware of what’s going on in football, you know people are always curious about transfers. You narrow your topic: football blogs that talk about transfers. 3) Can my study fill a gap, lead to greater understanding? You are curious how well in the know these bloggers are. Can they really predict transfers or even give scoops about important transfers? You decide that’s the gap your research will fill: can football blogs really predict important transfers? 4) Has this study been done before? If you think it will be easy, because you just have to copy-paste and alter some things, think again. If you pick a research question that has already been used, you will have to improve the previous research. Not an easy task. You google your topic and don’t find recent research among the first hits you get. Now you are fairly confident you have a good research question: Can football blogs really predict important transfers and even give scoops?

Choose one of the three topics from this unit as a start for a research question. Use the steps in the box to formulate your question. Unit 1 Peeping Tom

Shuffle

Now, everybody tells the class the topic they have chosen – not your research question! Divide yourself into three groups, according to the topic that you chose. Tell your teammates your research question. Brainstorm and change the question until you come up with one good research question you all agree on.

Share your question with the other two groups. Let them ask the ‘So what?’ question. Why should they be interested in your research? What’s in it for them? Whose research question ‘survives’? Can you come up with a good hypothesis for your research to defend your question and make your classmates realise your research really is important? Is it a hot topic? Does it deal with a lot of money?

Choose one of the topics below and again, formulate a good research question. You have one paragraph in which you not only explain your research question but you also make clear why this is a unique, important research question. • addictions • shamelessness • politically incorrect jokes • swearing

9 Finger exercise 1a 59

Work in groups, the teacher will divide the following topics among the groups. Your headmaster wants to do a thorough research on the general well-being in your school to inform parents and students in general. All the students from your grade are appointed to do a research on one of the topics below and write a critical blog of which the best blog entries will be published in the school newspaper. • sanitary fittings (restrooms and sinks) • lunch break • sports • discipline • bullying What Writing a blog and summarising the entries in a research report. Why? To prove you can deal with the registers of a blog and a research report. To prove you can work in group. To prove you can formulate a research questions and apply it. To prove you can do research and convince people. How? 1) Establish groups and divide the topics.

Unit 1 Peeping Tom

2) Formulate a good research question about your topic. Consider what is dealt with in ‘Digging deeper’. Take notes while discussing your research question. 3) Summarise your notes and the research question in a first blog entry. Make sure this entry tells what you are about to investigate, how you are going to do that and why you chose this particular angle. 4) Divide the tasks in your group. Who is doing the research? Who is writing the blog entries? Who is writing the research report? How are you going to keep everybody up to date? 5) Make sure you write enough blog entries during the next two weeks. 6) Do your research. Use the library, internet, interviews … 7) Write your research report. Make sure all the other group members double-check it. What about vocabulary, grammar, fluency, register? 8) Present your research report to your classmates. Can you convince them? Take notes of their feedback. What matters? Make sure you use the appropriate register for the appropriate text. Do your research thoroughly. Make sure you have enough arguments to convince. Remember a blog has to be interesting, amusing. You have to make your readers come back again. And again. Think twice! Reread the notes you took during the feedback. What can you do better next time? What are your strong points? What did you learn about group dynamics? What kind of team member are you?

Then I washed my teeth and put on my socks and shoes. I wore my heavy coat, because it was really cold outside. My cat left the house together with me and we both walked towards the bus stop.
