Interview with a One-Year-Old - Assignment Example

Video Speech People have often been heard saying that children in this century are very advanced. Even at times, they are found to be more advanced than what they are assumed to be. How much advanced these kids are, can be learned from a small example of a video clip published on ‘YouTube’ with the title “Interview with a One-Year-Old”. In this video clip, a father interviews his son regarding various problems that a one year old child can face, like ‘Night-time Problems’ and issues with his Mother.

Observing the son’s advanced reactions, the father also raises the subject of a serious global problem, ‘Terrorism’. But the reaction of the child was as customary as it was in the prior and simpler questions. Since the beginning of the interview, when the child was asked about his night-time problems, it seemed that he was feeling little embarrassed and thus completely denied that to be a regular issue. He also overpowered his father referring him as ‘silly’ to ask such questions.

Certainly, it was a better option for his father to change the topic and concentrate on the child’s issues with his mother. It also seemed that he had a few complaints regarding his mother’s attitude when the two were left behind at home, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He accused his mother to be torturing on him on one day and getting annoyed on the other. However, he moved forth from the issues between him and his mother stating that on Fridays she is busy hitting the turtles even when there was no turtle in the house.

Understanding that his son is ‘making up’, his father redirects the interview towards a more serious topic, focusing on the military actions of President Obama in relation to the capture of Osama-bin-Laden. With a remarkable gesture, the child agreed with the decision taken by President Obama which was quite an advanced comment but in a slightly impolite manner. This behavior was however opposed by his father, but alas, it had no impression on the kid’s reaction. Bibliography Youtube. “Interview with a One-Year-Old”.
