Unsung hero: how culture influences movies and
storytelling
¹ Have you ever been immersed in a film, TV show, or book
and thought, "Wow, this feels so Japanese"? (or American, or
French, or Chinese…?) There are so many ways our cultures
differ when it comes to storytelling! A culture's values and
beliefs shape the very foundation of their stories, from their
underlying ideas and themes to the individuals who inhabit
their worlds.
² Maybe you’re familiar with "The American Dream": the
hope of achieving success through hard work, determination,
and initiative. Because U.S. culture values self-reliance and
personal autonomy, stories often focus on a single
protagonist who has to overcome personal challenges and
external obstacles to succeed. In the end, the hero is
transformed and emerges a stronger, more resilient version
of themselves.
³ Even imagining what a hero should be reflects the values
and beliefs of each society, and nearly every culture has their
own brand of hero! For example, back in Japan, heroes often
prioritize the greater good over their own desires,
showcasing the importance of duty and self-sacrifice in
Japanese culture. In Britain, heroes are often characterized
by their honor, chivalry, and intelligence (think: Sherlock
Holmes and Hermione Granger). British heroes often
showcase their wit, wisdom, and willingness to stand up for
what's right. In South Africa, heroes are celebrated for their
courage, resilience, and commitment to justice.

Businesses are starting to introduce new options for
tipping at self-checkout machines, putting even more pressure on
customers amid rising inflation costs. Despite having zero
interaction with employees during transactions, self-checkout
machines at places such as coffee shops, bakeries, airports, and
sports stadiums are giving customers the option to leave the
typical 20% tip, according to a report from the Wall Street
Journal.
Business owners believe that the prompt for a tip can
boost staff pay and increase gratuities — but customers are
questioning where and to whom the extra cash is going,
considering self-checkout is done by the customers themselves.
“They’re cutting labor costs by doing self-checkout. So what’s
the point of asking for a tip? And where is it going?” are some of
the questions customers ask. But tipping researchers claim this is
a way for companies to put the responsibility of paying
employees on the customer rather than increasing employee
salaries themselves. Self-tipping is viewed by many customers as
a way to guilt-trip the person into tipping on something when
they typically wouldn’t.
Many companies told the Journal that these tipping
prompts are optional, and the extra gratuity is split between all
employees. However, experts say that tips at a self-checkout
machine might never even get to an actual employee since
protections for tipped workers in the federal Fair Labor Standards
Act don’t extend to machines.
Internet: <https://nypost.com> (adapted).
According to the previous text, judge the following item.
It can be inferred from the text that tipping reseachers and
some customers suspect that the tips given through
self-checkout machines will never reach the employees.

Here's why Friday the 13th scares us
Jane Risen, a behavioral scientist at the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business, has found that
superstitions can influence even nonbelievers. In one 2016
study, Risen found that people who identify as superstitious
and non-superstitious both believe a bad outcome is more
likely when they've been jinxed. For example, they worry
that stating they definitely won't get into a car accident will
make it more likely to happen.
“Generally speaking, I find that this occurs because
the bad outcome springs to mind and is imagined more
clearly following the jinx,” she explains. “People use the ease
of imagining something as a cue to its likelihood.”
_____________, Risen's research also suggests that
performing rituals that ward off bad luck can have surprising
results. In a 2014 study, she found that some people use
them even when they don't actively believe, and when
tested, both types of people reported benefits from such
acts.
It's difficult to pin down the origins and evolution of
a superstition. But Stuart Vyse, an author and former
_____________ of psychology at Connecticut College in New
London, told National Geographic in 2014 that our fear of
Friday the 13th may be rooted in religious beliefs
surrounding the 13th guest at the Last Supper—Judas, the
apostle said to have betrayed Jesus—and the
______________ of Jesus on a Friday, which was known as
hangman's day. The combination of those factors produced
a "sort of double whammy of 13 falling on an already
nervous day," Vyse explained.

“The combination of those factors…” is classified as:

Life just might exist on Mars after all
The red planet may have once been home to an
abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible
that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground
in a frozen state.
About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that
orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk.
One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and
splinter into endless forms most beautiful. Mars, the other
world, followed a different path.
Today the Martian surface is hostile to life as we
know it, but as this scientific story goes, Mars may have once
hosted a rich abundance of microbes. Residing in the
planet’s briny underworld and shielded from the lethal
radiation that bathes the surface, these organisms could
have grown in nooks and ____________, multiplying until
their collective heft rivaled Earth’s cache of life. Called
methanogens, Mars’s microbes would have inhaled
atmospheric hydrogen and carbon dioxide and exhaled
methane gas - and in a twist, they may have turned out to be
their own worst enemy.
Over time, their growing, insatiable appetite would
have robbed the Martian atmosphere of hydrogen - a
powerful greenhouse gas during the planet’s early days -
ultimately casting a deadly freeze over the planet and
driving microbial populations into deeper, warmer crannies.
How long those burrowing microbes could have survived in
the deep is unknown. It’s possible they were only a shortlived flash of life on an otherwise sterile world.
“Maybe extinction is the cosmic default of life in the
universe,” says Boris Sauterey of the Institut de Biologie de
l’Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. “It’s not the process of
life ____________ that is limiting; it’s life maintaining itself
that is limiting.”
But perhaps, more than 30 feet beneath the surface
and encased in ice, these ancient single-celled organisms
achieved a state of dormancy - a sort of cryopreserved
slumber, ready to perk up when more life-friendly conditions
arise.
The Martian interior may not be as lifeless as its
face. It could host a world of alien organisms that are
capable of waiting thousands of years between each turn of
their metabolic engines.
This ____________ may sound farfetched, but
recent results from scientists modeling the habitability of
ancient Mars and studying the hardiness of microbes in labs
and beneath our own planet’s surface all point in the same
direction: It’s a long shot, but it’s possible life evolved on
Mars and still exists. And scientists may just find signs of that
life when meteors barrel into Mars and excavate buried
layers of ice, or when new spacecraft arrive to plumb this
underground realm.
