Bonjour,
j'aimerais de l'aide pour corriger mes erreurs dans mon texte sur la notion idée de progrès que je vais présenter en anglais.
Merci d'avance.
Let’s talk about the idea of progress. The progress can be defined as a belief that something can evolve in a positive way or can improve. It can be of a technical progress, scientific or social advance which contributes to making the world a better place. But a progress isn’t always good, it can be a negative progress.
In class, we studied this notion through the chapter: the place of women in society.
How has the place of women changed through the century?
To begin, we’re going to see if women have found their place in our society during the Victorian period, especially within the family.
Then, let’s study the position of women during the world war II, more precisely in the workplace.
Finally, we will focus on the place of women in the workplace too but during the 1960’s.
First, we studied an extract of a novel whose title is Dombey and Son and which illustrates the place of women in family in 1848. The author is Charles Dickens. The idea of progress isn’t a positive evolution in this text, but on the contrary it illustrates the negligence of men opposite women in the family during the Victorian period. In this extract there are 4 characters who are Mr Dombey, his wife, their daughter who have 6 and their little son who has just been born. Mrs Dombey is represented only like a wife who give birth to a baby and after she is non-existent. Then, Mr Dombey daughter’s is considered as useless : indeed we don’t know her name, she has not identity in her family and in our society. Her father neglects her because she couldn’t inherit of the family firm’s called “Dombey and son” because she is a girl. In this family, women don’t have a place.
But we also saw another document, which raises the issue of women in Worlds War 2. Thanks to two texts about jobs of women during the war, we examined the entry of women in the workplace. By report of the extract precedent, these texts show an improvement in a positive way for women, it’s a progress during this period. In fact, women have places of work! We learnt that they began to work in factories because they replace men who were called to the war, they work too on the land on farms and there is a public-awareness campaign to encourage women to join the land Army called “Women’s land army”. Then, some women enlisted in the army like nurses for example.
And after the war, we studied a short video called “Secrets of Success in the Workplace for women!” in order to emphasizes what women are supposed to do in the workplace during the 1960’s. This video puts on stage Peggy Olson, who is the main-character and who starts her first day at her job. She needs to learn the “basic rules” at work like should dress for success, make up her face, pay attention to her boss and be careful about her physical appearance. The idea of progress is the place of women in the workplace but this short video gives an image of women superficial, weak and whose only goal is to seduce men and get married for have a better place in the family than in the workplace.
In a nutshell, we can say that the situation of women has improved even if they aren’t still respected, and equality between men and women has not been totally achieved.
In my opinion, it’s already a great progress that women have a place in the workplace among men but through the century in our society we keep always an image of women who embodies silliness or naivety, or of housewife.

hello !
a few more ...

Her father neglects her because she couldn’t inherit of the family’s firm called “Dombey and son” because she is a girl. In this family, women don’t have a place.

In my opinion, women could work, certainly, but through the centuries in our society we still keep an image of women silly or naive, or of housewifes.
What are the women progress in the world?
