Bonjour je dois rendre un devoir d'anglais pour donner, si quelqu'un pouvait me le corriger ce serait super ! Ca vous prend 2 minutes de le lire :)
Im going to talk about the location and forms of power. First of all i would like to define a definition of this notion: In politique and social science, power is the ability to influence people’s behaviour. In order to live togethers members of a community accept rules, regulation, laws. This help to create social cohesion but also lead to conflicts and tensions. Even when authority seems absolute, there are always counter-powers wich question it, ail at limiting its excess and resist it.
In order to illustrate this notion i have chosen to talk about the notion of patriotism, and attempt to answer the question : How evolved Patriotism from war periods to peaceful periods?
To give a traditional definition of patriotism, i would say that patriotism is the feeling of loving you’re country more than any others and being proud of it.

Firstly i’m going to talk about a propaganda poster from World War I,published by the Parliamentary recruiting committee of London in 1915. Is depicted a column of british soldiers and civilians walking with bayonets. Only men appear and men of all walks of life. on the top of the poster we can read “ step on yr place” in big letter . The clear purpose of a such poster is to push people to enlist in the british army during the first world war, similary it underlines the fact that many others already have a part to play in WWI except “you”.
Here it is patriotic to fight for the defense of one’s country, through this poster the message is rather “be part of those who join in, fit in, fight together and feel the glory and pride of having Served you’re country “ the document illustrate the notion because this Soldiers use the Patriotism like argument to enlist and fight for country and freedom. (( je peux dire genre: a cet epoque le patriotism se definit donc plus comme “ aimer son pays au point de sacrifier sa propre vie “ ??? ))



Secondarily/ to continue we studied a document extracted from the British daily newspaper THE GUARDIAN entitled " i was like in lamb To the slaughter ". This extract tells the life of a men who was deported after-party 35 years in the UK. The protagonist is Ivan Anglin. . Born in 1936 when Jamaica was still a british colony. Few years later he came To United kingdom, the same year Jamaica becomes independent.Here we are not in war period, there is no propaganda poster calling on to the patriotism and nevertheless Ivan Anglin is a faithful British patriot. Indeed when Anglin goes in Jamaica for the burial of her mother he found himself stuck at the airport. Because he travelled with a British passeport before Jamaica Became indépendant, Anglin assumed He was british . He said that: " I didn’t bother with citizenship because i was British ". It is interesting illustration of the notion because for Anglin it is not really in the measure of defense of its country that he consider himself patriot but because he likes his country, since his youngest childhood he(it) is educated as the British, he works in the reconstruction of the country, and raised his family there. Unfortunately his patriotic feeling is not enough to be a british citizen.


finally according to an interview of NPR news where a journalist asked people about what patriosm means To them. Two major ideas stand out: patriotism means protecting you’re country, but also protecting you’re rights, it also means fighting for freedoms.
As a conclusion, patriotism remains present in the heads of citizens over time but today it appears more like a feeling more present during the memorial day.

Merci d'avance!
