When we went to see the play of “La Sagouine”, I didn’t know what to hope for and I had been positively surprised. The actors were magnificent, they made us travel through their lives and it seemed so natural to them. The script was very interesting and well-acted. It was easy to see that the actors knew very well their texts, but also the issues regarding to the Acadian. I loved this play, the week-end after I even bought the script of the play to be able to really get the message that Antonine Maillet wanted to pass through this text.
Bravo to the actors and the writer!
Survey
ReplyDeleteThe Conservative party of Canada has now been elected for the third time in seven years. Although, something different happened this time: they are a majority government. Because of those recent political events, we were curious to know how many people felt concerned about politics. The number of people voting has decreased since the beginning of the last century. We thought it would be exciting not only to focus on general political interest of the Quebec population, but also to specifically learn about the difference of this interest between men and women. Our researches showed that men felt more concerned about politics than women. Indeed, there is a lot more men involved in politics than women. Actually, the first and only women to become prime minister of Canada lasted only 6 months in 1993. So, we made a survey to verify if our hypothesis was right.
The first and more obvious of our questions was: “Are you interested in politics?”. We wanted to see their subjective opinion regarding their political concerns. The results showed that the same amount of men and women are always interested in politics (33%), when only the female category answered the question with a “not ever” (12%). Those statistics confirm our hypothesis in a way, even though the difference is not that important.
Another question of our survey was: “Have you watched the leader’s debate?”. With those answers, we wanted to see how much people are really interested in the current political events and if they wanted to be informed about the parties. The results surprised us: more women watched the debate in both languages and more men did not watch any at all. Those answers invalidate our hypothesis, but it was still interesting to see how which gender got informed. Actually, we found out that men got their information another way with the question: “Do you read about politics?”, to which they responded with more positive answers (25% every day, versus 5% for women). Plus, none of them answered with “not ever”, when 21% of women did, once again.
Very good comments with some grammar errors. 8.8/10
