First, for listening practice, you need to watch this video from the 1976 movie, Network. Then read and respond to the questions below.
Then, you can read the transcript of the speech here:

Now, you need to think about what message Howard Beale (the speaker) is trying to tell. It's fairly obvious. What message did you take away from this?
Is this message more or less relevant today than 30 years ago when this movie came out?
Is this a message for American audiences only, or is it a message that could be spread in your home country? Why or why not?
Does this make you want to see the movie, or does it just sound like a boring old man trying to tell everyone how to live their life?
