Humor and society

a. What according to you is the central idea of the speech ?
It’s not easy to answer this question, the humorist talk about a lot a different subject:  women position’s in society, conditionment and problem of the society. I think she’s try to highlight the incoherently and stupidity of our modern society and she hope the people will realize that with her draw.
b. Do you agree with it ?
I’m truly agree with her, now, with the television and all the other media we always have an image of “perfection” under the eyes and a thousand of voice said “If you dress like that, if you behave like that, if you wear this perfume, If you thinner, taller, prettier, you will be happier !” Like if there only one good way to live his life. It’s stupid I think and when I saw the draw of Liza Donnelly and said “that’s exactly that!”.
c. Would you agree with Donnelly when she says that the sense of humor changes according to one's culture ?

In fact, I don’t have the answer and I didn’t even know if someone had one. If think the subject of the joke change according to the culture but I also think people like to laugh of the things they share. Human are human and they have things in common, so they always find a way to laugh together.
