Write a brief description of the situation and answer:
Would you hire a male nanny? Why? Why not?
What do you think about Ross's behaviour?
I perfer a woman nanny because She cares more for caring... It´s not like a man, clueless.
ReplyDeleteI didn't understand all. A man is looking for a job as a nanny. The woman likes him but her husband has the horrible prejudices!!! The first thing that he asks is if he is gay. After, we can see that he doesn't accept him. I don't like these behaviours. I would hire a male nanny because I think he can do his work well, like a woman. I think I couldn't speak with Ross about anything. I don't like him. Bibiana
ReplyDeleteRoss and his wife are searching a nanny; they are interviewing a male nanny.
ReplyDeleteRoss thinks he is guy because Ross says this job is for women, but the boy isn’t guy and he says is engaged.
The boy believes that is satisfying take care a child, in that moment the baby starts to cry and he goes to calm the baby.
The Ross’s wife wants to hire him but Ross doesn’t want.
She asks him why and Ross doesn´t know answer.
Finally they hire him but Ross thinks the boy gotta be at least bi.
I will hire a male nanny
I think a man has the same capabilities but they hide it, for the society around us.
Ross is fool, because he thinks a man is guy for his job, probably if the boy will be policeman it is less likely that he will be guy.
I Thing You Should give the oportunity a male nanny because I Would like to know as is their job, and the behaviour of Ross's is very incorrect because is strange thar a man can be nanny of his home. Eduar ;)

Hi!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Flor, it is said that women are better at taking care of babies but... I wouldn't be so sure...
Bibiana, yes, you are right, people like Ross are not nice to talk to!
Paula, I couldn't agree more!!!! Sensitivity is seen as a sign of weakness in men. Of course I don't agree! Some men hide this feeling to be accepted, to be what is expected from them! To be sensitive is not to be gay. And if the nanny is gay, so...what??? And, on the other hand, not all gay people are sensitive, it is also a stereotype!!!
And Paula, do you mean "GUY" or "GAY"???
Dear Eduar, CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR FIRST COMMENT!!!! I am very happy!!!! You were missing something here... Hope to read many more comments from you!!!! And I'm glad to know that you consider Ross's behaviour incorrect and that you think we should give male nannies an opportunity!!! We must be open-minded!!!! =)
What about the rest??? Would you hire a male nanny???? Do you approve of Ross's behaviour???

Well, actually, I have never watched "Friends" but I came across this scene and I found it related to the topic we are dealing with in class and interesting to discuss here.
