Tag line, A minor for IUSB Students

Basic concept: To educate fellow students about the East Asian Studies Minor. I want to compel the audience that this minor is important for broadening the cultural horizons of IUSB students while also given them motivation to pursue the minor or perhaps intrigue them to take a minor of their own. Utilizing a professor who teaches courses for the minor, Professor Yoshiko Green, we're going to show you who she is as well as her perspective on the minor because she is an advocate of the East Asian Studies Minor.

Questions:
What was your inspiration to teach Japanese in America?
-Back ground such as home, education, and family lifestyle.

What topics do you teach for the East Asian Studies Minor?
-Language, culture, etc.

What are other topics of the East Asian Minor?
-Language, culture, etc.

Why is the East Asian Studies Minor important for students to consider?
-Benefits such as learning about culture or expanding horizons.

Who else teaches classes for the East Asian Studies Minor (Professors from IUSB)?

What is the history of the east asian studies minor?
-When did IUSB get the east asian studies minor?
-How popular is it?
-Has there been an attempt to remove it for some reason?

Loose script:

Music Video Analysis

I decided I'd talk about a music video that I knew very well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM80F_J-QHE

Mutual Core is something I listen to everyday. It's a piece that I've interpreted over and over and keep finding something to appreciate.

An interesting feature is that this music video provides the audience with visuals related to the lyrics. A mutual core is the common ground between tectonic plates. Aside from the obvious there is something hidden in those lyrics a meaning behind the words and the image.

Toward the end two semi-human figures made of fire and earth arise back to back. Their relationship as the tectonic plates meeting suggests this song is about something more than earth and lava. It seems like a song of passion between two people sharing time for love.
