Discussion Questions

In your own words, please briefly summarize the article.

여러분의 언어로 교재를 간단히 요약해 주세요.

What part of the reading resonated with you most?

이번 교재에서 가장 공감하는 내용은 무엇인가요?

How would life with pets change if we could really understand what they were saying?

우리가 반려동물이 하는 말을 정말로 이해할 수 있다면, 우리의 삶은 어떻게 달라질까요?

Have you ever imagined what your pet (or another animal) would say if it could talk? What would it say?

반려동물(또는 다른 동물)이 말을 할 수 있다면 어떤 말을 할지 상상해 본 적이 있으신가요? 뭐라고 말할 것 같나요?

Do you believe pets already “communicate” with us through body language? Can you share an example from your own experience?

반려동물이 이미 몸짓 언어를 통해 우리와 “소통”한다고 믿으시나요? 여러분의 경험에서 예를 들 수 있나요?

Would you want to use technology that translates your pet’s feelings or sounds into human language? Why or why not?

반려동물의 감정이나 소리를 인간의 언어로 번역해 주는 기술이 있다면 사용하고 싶으신가요? 그 이유는 무엇인가요?

How do you currently know when your pet (or an animal you know) is hungry, happy, or upset?

반려동물(또는 여러분이 아는 동물)이 배고픈지, 행복한지, 화가 났는지 현재는 어떻게 알 수 있나요?

Do you think technology can really capture emotions, or is it only giving us an interpretation?

기술이 정말로 감정을 포착할 수 있다고 생각하시나요, 아니면 단지 해석만 해 주는 것이라고 생각하시나요?

The article mentions sperm whales and their complex codas. What does this tell us about the intelligence of animals?

글에서는 향유고래와 그들의 복잡한 ‘코다(소리 체계)’를 언급했습니다. 이것은 우리에게 동물의 지능에 대해 어떤 점을 알려준다고 생각하시나요?
