Bonjour à tous,
Serait-il possible s'il vous plaît de jeter un coup d'oeil sur mon intro et mon plan sur la notion Places and Forms of Power ?
Voici mon intro et mon plan:
To put it in simple terms, Power is the ability to influence the behavior of people and this concept can be linked with the words “Places” and “Form”. Indeed, in most cases, Power concentrates in a particular point, either a building such as Buckingham Palace, a symbol of the British monarchy or a state such as the United States of America regarded as a “superpower”. Moreover, Power can express itself through different forms. The three most important ones are economic and political power (for example the European Union which combines the two powers), the power of the media but also the power of guns particularly in the United States. If we focus on the power of the media, we can see how the media can influence the public opinion: they have a strong political influence and can shape the way we perceive certain groups of society. Yet, the basis of power is before all education. As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Thus, if school is a place of power, how could the access to university be a conveyor of power and a factor of inequality? Is positive discrimination a good solution in order that all students can benefit from the power of education?
I- School: a place of power
1) It empowers people to develop personally and become politically active.
Document: Press article from Deutsche Well:
Lien internet
2) A place of self-realization
Text p.20: “What’s the matter with that kid” about the purpose of higher education.
II- That’s why, the access to university is a conveyor of power. Thus, does the introduction of tuitions fees is a good idea?
1) Tuitions fees feed discontent among students
Document: Report: Student’s discontent over university fees in London, 2010 p. 14
2) For or against tuition fees?
Document: Debate in the Youth Parliament p. 15
III- Finally, if tuition fees are crucial to maintain a good level in teaching, should universities use positive discrimination to increase diversity? (Essay given in class)
1) At first sight, a dangerous solution because it begets stigmatization
Cf. Essay
2) But a great idea to increase diversity and make universities a place of mixed cultures.
Cf. Essay
Merci d'avance ;)

Hello,
