Drawing upon humor for a change

a.    What according to you is the central idea of the speech ?

b.     Do you agree with it ?

c.     Would you agree with Donnelly when she says that the sense of humor changes according to one's culture ?

a.   For me, the central idea of the speech is that, according to Liza Donnelly, women live in a world
where they are powerless and weak, governed by socials' conventions, and that this conventions can be broken by sense of humor.

b.   I think it depends on the different societies. I mean… there are countries where the "rules" are more oppressive and countries where this "rules" are disappearing with time. I think women are generally governed by some ancestral "way of being good" but, for example, in France, the old archetype of women that our grand-parents (or before) knew is actually over. Even if there are always rules, I think they're reduced by the time.

c.   Of course I agree with her. Sense of humor depends on cultures. For example… the animated serie "South Park" is laughing at everything (or most) and also says "Either we can laugh at everything, or we can laugh at nothing". But some cultures doesn't like it's humor. Moslems, Christians or scientologist, for example, tried to make some episodes censured. I think this is a reality we can use every time. We all have something that don't make us laugh. Sense of humor depends on the environment, the education, the character of people or societies. If humor is going out of this "characters", it becomes shocking. In spite of this, I think we can laugh at everything. Laugh is well, it doesn't have to be agreed !
