TPO42
Both the reading and the lecture discuss the solutions for preventing injuries to birds. The reading implies that replacing regular glass, using colorful designs, and making artificial magnetic field are effective solutions. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the reading. Accordingly, he presents three refutations.
First of all, the reading passage mentions that replacing the regular glass with one-way glass will make birds understand that the glass forms a solid barrier. Yet, the lecturer severely challenges this theory by arguing that the one-way glass looks like the mirror. Moreover, one-way glass will reflect sky or trees. As a result, the birds can not understand that one-way glass is solid, and they will still try to fly through it. Apparently, the first theory is not convincing.
Secondly, the passage suggests that people will still be able to see through the openings in the colorful design, while birds will see the stripes and thus avoid flying through the glass. Actually, the speaker seriously contradicts this hypothesis by contending that birds will perceive painted glass as open holes. In other words, the birds will still fly through the glass. Also, the painted glass makes the inside of the building too dark for people living in it. Hence, the colorful design can not prevent birds from flying through the glass.
Last but not least, the article indicates that artificial magnetic field can guide birds away from buildings. Once again, the scholar opposes the statement because birds do not use magnetic field as the tool for navigating in short distance. In fact, birds use their eyes to navigate in short distance. Thus, the artificial magnetic field is not an effective way to prevent birds injuries.
In conclusion, the professor argues against each theory in the reading. That is to say, the professor maintained that the solutions mentioned in the reading passage are not effective at all.
