3. Should we give them respect and rights? Why or why not?
Step3 Listening
Introduce what to do in this listening task:
1. Sally and Brenda are both androids. One of them works as a maid. The other works

Step4 Discussion
Ask: But when robots are highly developed and have feelings, what will happen?
See a film clip TerminatorⅢ.Then have a further discussion:
Some people are afraid that if we develop androids too much, human beings will one day be conquered and replaced by them. Will humans be conquered and replaced by them one day?
Sample:
G: I don’t agree that androids will conquer and replace humans in the future because they are made and controlled by people.
B : In my opinion, I agree with the point for the technology is developing faster and faster. I think they will kill people in the future.
G: They can’t develop beyond humans’ science development. And they can’t live without people. For example, if they are broken, they need to be repaired by people. Besides, they don’t fall in love with each other so they won’t get married. As a result, they have no babies. They will die out soon.
B: Although they are not able to give birth to a baby, they can copy themselves one after another.
G: But there is no evidence that can prove it.
B: However, many resources of the world will be used up soon. Then people can’t live on the earth. But robots are still alive.
G: No, they need electricity ,too… …
Continue to see the film clip TerminatorⅢ. Present the wishes: We hope robots and humans can work together, live together, play together…. They can become good friends. In a word, they can get on well with each other .
