[oiram54]

Bonjour, je passe bientôt mon oral et je serais très reconnaissant que quelqu'un puisse m'aider à me corriger et faire des phrases correctes

Merci! bonne journée!

 

Intro : 

In politics and social science, power is the ability to influence people's behaviour. In order to live together members of a community accept rules, regulations, laws. This helps to create social cohesion but can also lead to conflicts and tensions between those who have power and those who don't.

 

Even when authority seems absolute, there are always counter-powers which question it, aim at limiting its excesses and resist it.

 

The first three powers are legislative, executive and judicial powers. For many years, new powers have influenced people. There are known as the fourth and the fifth power. The fourth power is the power of the media and the press and the fifth power is the power of the economic system.

 

To illustrate the notion I will base myself on the power of the media. Is The Media Counter Power or Power in itself ?

 

At first we will see that the media is a power in itself and afterwards we will see that the media can be a counter Power.

 

On the one hand, the media are considered as the fourth power, their role is to inform the public but also to develop policy ideas and to mobilize people around a common cause and a common vision. For example, the population can participate in the life of the media report what they know about a topic or when using the mobile phone can shoot events. This is called "citizen journalist", so the media are closer to the people and is part of the life of every day of an average person.

 

Moreover, the media have a large number of communications media : radio, television, newspapers, magazines and internet. This will apply to a wider audience and accurate according to the media. For example, in England a lot of people read tabloids because it is newspapers that have a reduced content like "the sun", they will address the issues in order to bring the most juicy details by ignoring the bottom and the complexity of some subject in order to be more attractive counter to conventional newspapers as "the times" or "the independent".

 

Then the media have great power : the freedom of the press and expression. This will denounce the atrocities around the world and help the overthrow of dictatorships. Thanks to that power many cases the day we saw through the media as for example the case wikileaks, scandal of the media or the scandal of horsemeat in lasagna the brand findus.

 

On the second hand, the media can be a counter power that is to say political power capable of competing or overthrow the power of another. This is due to the fact that the media sometimes used abusive practices and prohibited to be ever more efficient and innovative in the information. For example with piracy concern telephonic  newspaper "News of the World", which belongs to powerful men, so in 2011 it was discovered that the tabloid had tapped telephonic parents of two murdered people girls. This shocking case has called into question the journalistics methods.

 

Furthermore the media can stir up hatred exaggerating or creating the controversy over a case and cause major movements crowds that sometimes goes wrong. For example in 1992, the murder of a black man by a white police officer has cause incendiary riots in Los Angeles, the riots were encouraged by the media. In addition, the island of the meeting, the Freedom radio station encouraged and fanned the riots in a district of the capital in 1991 which resulted of strong violence.

Finally, the media can manipulate the population by showing them what they want to mediate sometimes omitting other subjects or by not communicating to all the details to the public to control the population.

 

To conclude, the media are indeed an abuse of power but power and practice sometimes limits the media can be a counter power especially with the internet where freedom of expression is optimal.

To illustrate the notion I will base myself on the power of the media. Is Are the media a counter power or a power in itself ?<<< media est un pluriel latin = verbe au pluriel. Et pourquoi les majuscules ? Serais-tu germaniste LV1 ?

 

At first we will see that the media is  a power in itself and afterwards we will see that the media can be a counter Power.

 

On the one hand, the media are considered as the fourth power, their role is to inform the public but also to develop policy ideas and to mobilize people around a common cause and a common vision. For example, the population can participate in the life of the media, report what they know about a topic or when using the mobile phone can shoot events. This is called "citizen journalist", so the media are closer to the people and is part of the life of every day of an average person's everyday life.<<<le génitif, c'est quand même rudement pratique !

 

Moreover, the media have a large number of communications media: radio, television, newspapers, magazines and the Internet. This will apply to a wider audience and accurate according to the media. For example, in England a lot of people read tabloids because it is newspapers that have a reduced content like "the Sun", they will address the issues in order to bring the most juicy details by ignoring the bottom content/root/core and the complexity of some subject in order to be more attractive counter to conventional newspapers as "the Times" or "the Independent".<<<Même si elles sont "invisibles" à l'oral, (elles seront visibles à l'écrit) mets les majuscules partout où elles sont nécessaires.

 

Then the media have great power : the freedom of the press and expression. This will denounce the atrocities around the world and help the overthrow of dictatorships. Thanks to that power many cases the day we saw through the media as for example the case wikileaks, scandal of the media or the scandal of horsemeat in lasagna the brand findus.<<<Là, j'ai du mal à te suivre, tu sembles avoir perdu le fil quelque part. "Ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement...", dixit Boileau. A reformuler donc.

 

On the second hand, the media can be a counter power that is to say political power capable of competing or overthrow the power of another. This is due to the fact that the media sometimes used abusive practices and prohibited practices to be ever more efficient and innovative in the information. For example with piracy concern telephonic  newspaper Let's take the example of telephone piracy by the "News of the World" newspaper which belongs to powerful men: so in 2011 it was discovered that the tabloid had tapped telephonic the parents of two murdered people girls. This shocking case has called into question the journalistics methods.<<<L'invariabilité des adjectifs, ça ne te rappelle rien ?

 

Furthermore the media can stir up hatred exaggerating or creating the controversy over a case and cause major movements of crowds that sometimes goes wrong. For example in 1992, the murder of a black man by a white police officer has caused incendiary riots in Los Angeles, the riots were encouraged by the media. In addition, the island of the meeting, the Freedom radio station encouraged and fanned the riots in a district of the capital in 1991 which resulted of in strong violence.
