i had to go to school. when asked why. because education makes the world more just. to make up your own. w. made for mind. i. welcome to arts and culture on this edition a giant of architecture in the week daniel levy skin turns 75 we take a look back at some of the polish american off you takes most in jewing designs also coming up what's white plastic and can be found all over the world i'm on a block of course i bet you didn't know they were cool but we'll tell you where they came from and how they ended up everywhere. and for decades after his death

the music of reggae legend bob marley still resonates when looked back at his life and legacy. but 1st to a growing scandal in hollywood it's one of tinsel town's oldest and most watched award shows but u.s. t.v. network n.b.c. says it will not cost next year's golden globe ceremony the decision follows complaints about alleged ethical lapses and a lack of diversity in the hollywood foreign press association which hands out the film and t.v. prizes now someone who has been following the situation closely is all film and t.v. expert scott's rocks for he joins me now from boston scott so this move by n.b.c. is just the latest nail in the coffin a lot of people have been distancing themselves from the golden globes and the hollywood foreign press association fill us in on that please. yes you're right this is just the latest in a long list of companies and stars who. to protest the golden globes and the

hollywood foreign press association just shortly for n.b.c. is announcement the actor tom cruise came out and said he was going to give back the 3 golden globes he's won in protest and we've seen huge media companies netflix amazon warner media saying they're going to boycott the golden globes right so quite a backlash that how this all goes back to the next phase i published in february that caused quite a stir. yet you're right it's the from los angeles times they published a an exposé that exposed alleged alleged fraud and corruption and mismanagement at the globes they also revealed that none of the members of the hollywood foreign press association who vote on the golden globes are black then added to that more recently an e-mail was leaked from for president of the association in which he quoted a article which called black lives matter the black lies about a group quote a racist hate group well that's all been too much for hollywood and so we've seen

a lot of big stars ugly and scarlett johansson and mark ruffalo come out against the globes and now pretty much everyone in the hollywood film industry has come out against the hollywood foreign press association saying they have to undergo really fundamental reforms at this point many of us quite naturally see in the golden globes all voted on by thousands of professionals not the academy awards but that's not the case for a fee if you could. ease the hollywood foreign press association. basically a small group of non american foreign journalists who report on the film industry there just 87 members of the golden globes there are there with their prize ceremony has grown to be the large 2nd largest unimportant award ceremony but the group itself is still very small and in till now has lacked any form of oversight or has been able to have to answer for for their actions. ok scott wants power of course saying for us for bon that thanks very much for helping us understand that.

architects daniel leavis can task created dozens of famous buildings but his name will always be associated with places as a member in one of his most famous works is the jewish museum here in berlin he was kinda lost much of his family in the holocaust so the project had special meaning for him he went on to oversee the rebuilding of the world trade center on the occasion of his 75th birthday he has this report. architect daniel levy and comes from a polish jewish family he's a musician a humanist and a philosopher especially when it comes to buildings. every building the symbolic not even the stupidest building you see tells your story a very short one it says i have nothing to tell you. leave askins architecture on the other hand has a lot to say. with their skewed and irregular geometry his building seem to suggest

that nothing is certain not even historical buildings. whether for museums or high rises his designs are trailblazing. but it was a while before his career took off brilliance jewish museum was the 1st of leaders can still sign to be implemented some 20 years ago. by sort of the new idea cutting it with a void with the abyss of history with with show all with with a holocaust and create something that is memorable. towards the past but also looking forward to a future brew with hope and with new light. it's a thoroughly symbolic construction marked by empty spaces meant to represent absence the millions of murdered european jews. up place of remembrance it's 1st and foremost a flexible space for the exhibition of 1700 years of german jewish history.

leave askins work in dresden is also about history in this case military history has driven a huge wedge into the city's old military museum. here he's created new perspectives with a glass platform facing the city you see exactly where the 1st bomb fell in making 45 drugs that and the whole form is so similar to the triangle of bombs from which drug animals completely erased from history all the buildings today in dresden have been rebuilt luckily but i wanted to insert into the military history building the sense that we are also in a new city it's not the same drugs that it is just one that has been transformed through war. leaders can this from new york city traumatized by the terrorist attacks of september 11th 2001 he planned the construction at ground 0 a combination of the high rise freedom tower commercial buildings and the memorial in place of the destroyed world trade center. buildings shape our lives they shape

our health but more importantly they shaped our spiritual sense of identity and of belonging to a community and a solidarity with other people daniel leaders can't believe that architecture should touch the soul quest he continues to follow at the age of $75.00. now remember those days before when you went to cafes well in the likelihood you sat on a monitor block that's the real name of those instantly recognizable white chairs made from a single piece of plastic stackable white couple and 3 euros per piece cheap to produce they could be a 1000000000 of them in such relation now that the stars of the film premieres this month at munich's documentary film festival. somewhere sad and dreary alone mysterious things stands against a wall a plastic chair

a seemingly ubiquitous one found everywhere despised and ridiculed a pathetic little actor on a big world stage. business group i've always seen this chair the way most of us do such a ridiculous object it's just lying around broken on a soccer field or at a party does it ever collapse under someone. the documentary shows that this chair is also a symbol a worldview in the impulse generator indeed it's the best selling piece of furniture in the world and it's called monologue that its story starts in a shed in france in the 1970 s. where the muscle me created the prototype of the plastic chair its success meant he later lived as a happy multi-millionaire inside to pay. hundreds of companies produce the chair for the man of luck has conquered the world by the billions and polarizes some people are dismissive of the cheap product then when they're on

a balcony or whatever eventually they just become unsightly and. poorly designed and not very comfortable to this day i don't understand why they even exist anymore i know but in poorer countries the chairs are celebrated like popstar this. is a work cock this chair actually characterizes the world we live in more than anything else whereas here in europe we're really skeptical it's ugly it's ecologically problematic in many other countries people have no alternative to it there's either this chair or there's no chair at all would have got a country where the film team traveled through 5 continents vividly demonstrating how this chair connects people across the globe. in a small hut in uganda and that sits and leaves a basket she's paralyzed and gets around mostly by crawling. over in california engineer don tests his groundbreaking invention low cost

wheelchairs for developing countries the heart of the design has the panel plug. in the meantime one of them has arrived at and that sounds giving her much greater mobility and improving her life. this is if you are in for we don't need need your cancer it's not the plastic chair that's bad and awful and damn a bill this black and white way of thinking is wrong it's not going to get us anywhere but right up to see him in the light this film is a wonderful tribute to attack a plastic chair that is so much more than just that. i'll have a look at them the same way again now his soulful melodies and poignant lyrics seem to transcend time his songs will always be remembered as anthems of the dispossessed yearning for freedom and justice i'm talking of course about the legendary bob marley who died 40 years ago aged just 36 he packed so much

into his short life spreading his love of reggae from his native jamaica to the whole world while also advocating for peace. my. my my one of bob marley's biggest tell us it was recorded in the mid 1970 s. when the musical genre of reggae started its triumphal march from kingston jamaica around the world 2. my. good dad and this song started it all i shot the sheriff but it is recorded by our clapton the single by the british guitarist landed at the top of the us charts in

1984 and then everyone wanted to know who had originally written the song. and so often paved the way for bob marley's short but highly influential global korea his lyrics often clearly address the situation of black people facing repression racism and poverty in. 1976 before marley performed at a concert aimed at calming political unrest in jamaica he was injured in an assassination attempt today bob marley is a national hero in his home country an idol to music fans around the world and the undisputed king of reggae music. marley died of cancer at just 36 years old following his death his song is this love became one of his most successful it's.

the. a legend taken from us far too young for more normal stories check out our website dot com slash culture thanks for watching good bye. it's an ongoing quest for a bit of a church picnic the arab spring began in 2011. people stood up against corrupt rulers and dictatorship. all these moments. have left deep box in my memory.

they have hoped for more security more freedom more dignity. of their hopes been fulfilled. 10 years after the arab spring. valley and starts june 7th on d w. virtual school for months leandro has been learning online from home due to the pandemic it's stressing him out. there are some evenings where i question my very existence . what's the point of getting up again in the morning what should i do tomorrow. in germany most young people have really gone to school in the last year instead they've had lessons online on a likes that basically i say i live more not less. philip is

receiving instruction from his big sister catarina. him as a shawl sure sometimes i miss my mama who'd help straight off if she were here harrison kahneman give me her. play under it quickly print out the latest worksheets before math class the last time he was able to attend school with his entire class was over a year ago since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic schools have been closed for most of the time. so leandra must learn on his own he has no siblings to help his mother teaches at another school and his father runs a company they often work from home too. day after day play under his online

classes according to a section jewel he's actually a good student but with homeschooling he finds it hard to keep up. in the uk when we're under so much pressure the whole day my head is full of deadlines for example i need to work on things that are due on wednesday or thursday but i know i won't be able to meet the deadlines because i still have so much to do and other subjects and for as an expense and as soon and sometimes you just reach your limit says a student we're not adults yet we're still kids or teens. and we must make decisions do i do this object now or the other one i don't because it has to be done by 8 pm and then on thursday morning you get in trouble with the teacher

because instead of sending it at 8 at night you sent it at 7 the next morning. on this one that really gets you down it really does. so how does the corona generation view their future. when students like felix coppa wanted to find out and conducted a survey thousands of people took part in the results were clear almost 3 quarters of the children and adolescents polled expressed anxiety about their prospects. confronted machine number surprised me as working 16 there were so many pupils who shared their problems with us you will get tired. and that the trouble seemed to be so big and widespread over all it surprised me quite a bit i'm sure about ash. it's

absent in english quote. absent friends. p c's you're right that he a. he a half. shirt like all little brothers he gets on my nerves sometimes. but not all the time that's little siblings for you and he's my little brother of course he can be annoying. how can you ask. brave read. as a. sentence. could

. the siblings a home alone the. mother is a single parent and a doctor who works in the hospital every day 1st man who wanted to show me her english text is that anyone in this photo. when it only has one and film doesn't need a capital in english everything's in small letters or with some exceptions. the rest virus was right just with he she and it you need to add an s. to the verb endings. in the last month it's true that often you don't want to do any more on subjects you don't like so much. done this is how it was just the way it is. so i'll take a short break sometimes the last few months my own dothan are lie down in bed and just give my head the rest of my cup for last and then and then i'll go back and look things over again read through them. not to let him as

a strong monitor amateur sometimes miss my mama had help me straight off if she were here it hasn't come with yet here every year but we've gotten used to it. and there's nothing that can be done about it now anyway. she has to work and philip and i are here and we're doing our assignments and trying to manage everything as best we can and does have good. numbers in the student survey revealed that the pandemic has been especially hard on children and adolescents they're getting less exercise too much screen time and too little sleep homeschooling seems to have had a predominantly negative effect more than 3 quarters of the students polled in berlin described their learning environment as poor. that's especially true for students who have no space to call their own who live in tiny apartments without god and in families who are stuck together in lockdown 247.

blame goes mother paolo booked off isn't just a teacher she also acts as a counselor and confidant fast food and. a stiff a little clearer cases of children who live only with their mother but the mother drinks. getting article or we have a boy who doesn't get along with his father at all because they know how to work together at home all the time because it's the father works from home and the boy has home schooling home often there are constant conflicts a conflict or aunt and as soon as something happens the kids call me because they're in need of support i want to start sort since the 1st lockdown began over a year ago more students are seeking help than ever before domestic violence is on the rise and schools once safe havens are largely shot paolo booked off even gets

emergency calls and we can't go steps and basically i will file. for instance there was a case of a pupil who had problems and not just once it was a whole chain of events you got your little on the mend and then the end he felt so hopeless that at 5 pm he decided to pack up his things his pajamas and so on and wanted to come here to the school and spend the night in this office all boys to hear in the sort of comment on hearing this and be able to because for the kids at my school this office feels like home they missed me all i have dial back and so house you know. the majority of students have difficulties learning at home and miss in person instruction but a minority really like homeschooling.

says she's always been well organized and likes working on her own next year will be her final year of high school it's bound to be stressful with the all important school leaving exams but she's not worried about it. she finds she can concentrate so much better at home. in school i'm more likely to get away without doing the work or to drag things out because i know when the lessons over i'm done done country often but this way i have specific assignments to complete and if they also when i see ok i must submit as in 2 hours then i have to do the work. compared to a classroom with 32 people at best go home office few distractions life now plays out on a computer screen. my it hasn't been so good for my eyes during the 1st lockdown i became short sighted over. there i get

a lot more sleep because i don't have to travel back and forth all get up as early anymore expire so it has advantages and disadvantages on the title of. my new content old months mike and sometimes my mom comes home from work really annoyed or stressed and then she has no desire to do schoolwork but otherwise everything's good. when memory comes home she helps her live and i can do my work on and if i ask she'll help me to. occasionally i have a guilty conscience for leaving my children alone for such a long time each day and i know that leaving them to their own devices doesn't every day it's such a huge balancing act to reconcile working life with being a mother and a teacher or and and not always being able to be there for them. this

. is tell me this i don't dare ask my teachers questions anymore because they'll say we did that 2 months ago you weren't paying attention that's the wrong response that i should say yes this is such and such and explain it again because it's so easy to look out the window but do that once and your last one on. one medic shawn that i noticed he seems much more tired than when he had normal classes in person instruction is mocking me i'm not really sure i'm concerned my husband is to have been b. and that's why our family has a set routine a little bit i mean for example he has to take the dog out every day that most anything on the walls. skidmarks was about as a space there are some evenings where i question my very existence what's the point of getting up again in the morning what should i do tomorrow. there was always the more matter of i sit here at the computer for another 7 no 9 hours. should i have

another 9 hour school day so either more noise to listen once again to how the teachers are trying to stuff me full of facts like there's no tomorrow. really there is stuff ahead with fact till they're full then ask you to regurgitate them in an exam in school and get the tests visitation i did i don't know but doesn't that after thought. another kind of host that's when it's you don't want to do anything anymore it almost makes you feel a bit depressed yeah depression is a big word but it's cause it's sick you're sad and don't want to do anything your body is telling you you spent too much time at the computer and are under too much pressure that expresses that by making you suffer some of it may have to follow.
