Bonjour, j'ai un oral de bac blanc dans pas longtemps et j'aimerais savoir si mon texte est bien ou s'il y a des modifications à apporter svp? Merci d'avance !


I am going to present you the notion of location and forms of power. In the first place we are going to define the terms of location and forms of power. Location or places could be important buildings or institutions that represent a certain form of power. Also a state, that could influence another one. Power could be the ability to control others, events, resources, to make things happen despite the obstacles, the resistance, the opposition, ( as gun, lobbies, pro-gun lobbies, gun tyranny, the NRA…). We are going to illustrate the notion of location and forms of power with the story of gun in the USA. So the question is, could America live without guns? Why do we America a gun nation? At first we shall speak about weapons in the center of the American culture and encouraged by lobbying, then we shall see that associations denounce the violence of weapons and finally the danger of weapons is real.

 

 

            First of all, I’m going to show you, that weapons are a part of the American culture. Indeed, in the United States all citizens can possess a weapon as we can see in the 2nd Amendment of the constitution : “As a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bears arms , shall not be infringed”. Moreover, there are not regulations about the carrying(bearing) weapons. There are also associations which encourage and which are for the carrying of weapons in the USA. Indeed we can see  in the document which is called " the NRA: " has very powerful lobby " ". This document describes us this association. The NRA stands for National Rifle Association and it’s a pressure group, lobby. They defend the right to carry guns because they claim guns are everyday life objects. Their modes of actions are the provide gun training they donate a lot of more to political candidates. In addition to sponsoring training programs for gun owners. (a verifier) the NRA opposes gun control legislation.

 

            Furthermore, there are many people, and associations which mobilize against the carrying of weapons in the USA. We can see in a document which we studied in class nominated Gun violence, a poster against weapons in the USA. Indeed, we can see in the middle a weapon with the flag of the USA. There are statistics regarding crime rate caused by firearms in various countries. We can see when there was 17 deaths in Finland  there was 9484 in the USA because of firearms. It is a prevention campaign in front of the violence of weapons and to discourage the use of gun in the USA. The target audience is the USA. The goal here is to highlight the severity of the matter of crimes for the Americans. This lobbying is in favor of gun control laws and electing pro-gun law official. 

 

            Finally, the authorization of the carrying of weapons causes real massacres. Indeed, during these last years the slaughters at the school developed. The main objective of these slaughters is to make a genocide. We can take the example of the massacre of April 20th, 1999, to Columbine next to the city of Littleton in the Colorado. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, two students, killed 12 students and a professor, and made numerous wounded persons. They then committed suicide after the shooting. It is the fifth massacre made in a school in the United States. These massacres show the limits of the legalization of the carrying of weapons in the USA. These young people are especially inspired by movies, books(pounds), music or games(sets) which shows the violence. The document Suburbia shows us the influence of the games with weapons on the children. It is a photo of a child named Richie playing with a rifle and an interview of her mother. For her, there is so negative effect of her child playing with a rifle. There is no affection on his development and personality.
