通し番号03-23: Academic Listening (150 Words) (Narrator): Listen to part of a discussion in a political science class.
(Teacher: Any Gender): “Left” and “Right” are some of the most popular words to describe American politics. But what do these phrases mean? When people say, “Left” , their talking about policies with more government power. For example, when the government pays for hospitals it is considered a “leftist” policy, because the government is spending money. When people say, “Right”, they are describing policies that are more conservative, or cost lest money. So if the government didn’t pay for schools at all, the policy would be very “far to the right”, but if the government paid for all schools and colleges, this policy would be very

(Teacher: Any Gender): In the 1600’s Isaac Newton discovered some very basic rules in physics. For instance, he came up with the formula: Force = Mass times Acceleration. This rule became a paradigm. A paradigm is a rule that all scientists follow and believe, and base their science upon. So, for hundreds of years scientists did physics based off of Newton’s rules. This was called Newtonian physics. However, in the 1900’s people discovered that Newton’s rules didn’t always work. This was a huge crisis in the field of physics, because people assumed that Newton was completely correct for hundreds of years, but the new form of physics, quantum physics, challenged his rules. This change in the basic rules of physics changed the paradigm of physics. When this happens, it is called a paradigm shift. (132 words)
