Introducing famous rat behavioral experiments through YouTube
Citing an article and using the term ‘low birth rate’
Some subscribers criticize “political terms”
“There was no intention…I do not support women’s groups.”
The government also uses the term ‘low birth rate’…
Over time, the population increased to 2,200. However, as competition between male rats intensified, some males dropped out of mating, and females began not caring for their young properly. After that, not a single rat survived in the cage. Science Dream explained in detail the meaning of the experiment and its implications for the Korean situation, saying, “This is an experiment that is very often mentioned in Internet communities when talking about our country’s low birth rate problem.” Science Dream
“If we apply the phenomenon of ‘drop-out males’ who do not participate in mating to human society, I think it is important for the country or society to create a fence to some extent to prevent too many drop-outs.”
He said.
Posted an apology saying, “I didn’t know there was a controversy over the term low birth rate.”
However, not long after uploading the video, Science Dream apologized to subscribers through a comment. This is because subscribers expressed dissatisfaction with his use of the term ‘low birth’ in the video. It was pointed out that “low birth rate is not a general term” and “it is a term with political implications.” Science Dream used this term at the beginning of the video, quoting the titles of articles related to low birth rates. As criticism continued in the comments,
Science Dream explained, “We apologize if the term ‘low birth rate’ was inconvenient,” and added, “We do not support any specific women’s group, nor do we imply any political intent.”
He continued by explaining, “Among the articles I read in the past, I saw an article that said, ‘The President’s Office described it as low birth rate,’ and at that time, I thought and used it as, ‘These days, they say low birth rate, not low birth rate.’” He also added, “Regardless of the rightness or wrongness of the two words (low birth rate and low birth rate), if there was any controversy, we should have used different expressions or been more careful in choosing words, but we were not able to do so.”
The controversy continues even after Science Dream posted an apology. Some subscribers say “
It is not a word that can be misunderstood at all. Very few people point this out
“Scientific Dream’s use of the term was not a problem,” he said. On the other hand, other subscribers said, “It’s good if you used it without knowing, and you should be careful in the future.”
The state and society are aiding and abetting language pollution such as low birth rate-low birth rate, stroller-toddler car, parents-mother-father, and menopause-menopause.
“He also pointed out that the terms proposed to be changed from the perspective of gender equality were disparaged as ‘language pollution.’
