Bonjour,
Pouvez-vous m'aider et corriger mes fautes s'il vous plait? ceci est pour mon oral d'anglais au Bac sur le thème: places et formes de pouvoir.
Merci pour vos réponses.
Places and forms of power
I’m going to talk about the notion places and forms of power, first of all we can define the term of power , the power is the ability to control others, events, or resources; the ability to make things happen despite obstacles, resistance, or opposition. I chose to talk about the new technologies to illustrate a form of power and to answer the question “ how far have new technologies given citizens the power to protest against the wrong doings of the economic and political power?
New technologies have empowered citizens
The birth of citizens journalism
With the development of the cellphones and their photographies possibilities it is now possible to take videos, pictures. Thereby everyone can record events as they occur for exemple we have seen the picture of a women taking photos of a group of riot policemen on a street and that is the birth of the citizens journalism.
B. Internet as a weapon
Nowadays internet can be use as a weapon to protest and show the world our opinions , on the internet you can launch petitions and organise flashmob. The social media enables you to communicate faster and to create demonstrations, you can also post videos or pictures.We have seen for exemple the Occupy movement or a video showing a student demonstrating in London. On top of that the internet enables you to communicate worldwide and share what you want in just one click.
II. The efficiency of new technologies is sometimes controversial
New technologies can ruin lives
New technologies can ruin lives and be against the citizens , for exemple in a text called “ Welcome to the 21st century” we’ve seen that in one stroke of a pen a rich corporate lawyer can make a deal and fired hundreds of Czech workers . We can also illustrate the negative aspect of the internet by talking about the bullying : a growing phenomena affecting always more teenagers and which sometimes leading to suicides .
New technologies are not always efficient
The petitions, demonstrations are not always as efficient as the citizens expected and the post on social media are usually choked by all the other posts. For exemple the Occupy movement didn’t make big changes, in fact students demonstrating more out of a necessity to express their anger than with a real hope to change things. Even Wikileaks a famous website reveling secrets and scandals had been criticized a lot .
To conclude we can say that the birth of citizens journalism and the use of internet as a weapon had empowered citizens by enabling them to share and communicate faster with the world, indeed they are armed to protest against the wrong doings of the economic and political power but in the same time new technologies can ruin lives and are not always efficient indeed a lot of post on the social media are unseen and the demonstrations or petitions are often useless.
