PROTESTING

In France, many people will be on strike and demonstrate on Thursday. If you should protest against something, what would it be and what means would you use(posters, songs...) ?

  1. Hello,
    If I protested against something, it would be against women's discriminations because, unfortunately, there's still discriminations against women and to protest against it I would use big posters on which it's written "No More Discriminations" and others with "Men=Women".
    And I think we should fight against this until it disapears. We are in the 21st century and there is still discriminations and violences. In anyways we should always fight against every violence !

  2. Hello !

    - As Eliott said, many people will be on strike and demonstrate on Thursday. Indeed it is about the Baccalauréat's reform.

    - As for me, if I should demonstrate and protest against something, it would be against injustice in France.
    For example, if a famous man, a singer, a politician did something wrong they can lobbied the justice system and have a short condamnation instead of an other " normal " person who will be condamn for many years.

    - To sum up, It makes me sick this kind of injustice and I hope the judiciary is independant.

  3. Hi,
    If I protested against something, it would be against palm oil production. It is use in many products such as biscuits, spread, toothpaste … and it’s the cheaper oil. However, the production of palm oil is harmful for the earth and population. In fact, it’s product in Indonesia and Malaysia and the producers of palm oil remove trees from forest to plant palm tree. Deforestation is very dangerous for animal such as monkey but also for communities who live with the nature in the forest, they have to change their habits and some animals will be endangered.
    If I protested against this, I would share my fight on internet to be heard by everyone. Then, I would write a letter to states like United States or to Organization like ONU. Lastly, I would demonstrate in front of companies which use palm oil for their products.
    Goodbye!

  4. Hi! I would like to go on a strike to support abortion and against testing products on animals or even just for women's rights around the world (themes that are important for me). I think I would use slogans, posters and social media. There is a big bad side to social media but you still can use them to gather more people on your side and to do a bigger impact.  France is known for having often stries : " French people are always in the streets ", but I think it's a really good way to show your opinion to the governement.

  5. If I demonstrated, I would protest against all kinds of religious discrimination, especially discrimination against Jewish people. Indeed, there have been a lot of attacks targeting this particular religious group, and I think that's a shame that people don't seem to notice it as much as they notice other kinds of discrimination. It looks like a lot of people are indifferent to this really alarming fact, and it worries me a lot. I think we should all have the right to live in fredom and security, whatever religion we have (or don't have).
    I think I would use posters, as they're a really good way of alerting the population about specific issues (such as duscrimination).

    Hello !
    If I protested against something, it would be against "battered women". Because it's just horrible that a man can hurt or sometimes kill his partner. She is supposed to be the person that he loves the most. I'm really chocked, when I hear that 225 000 women are involved in this, in 2017. I would use media to be heard by women (and men).
    To conclude they must fight for their rights.

  7. Hello everyone !
    I would like to protest against the violence and rape of women who unfortunately still exist today, I would choose this subject because we still find men who control the moral or physical harassment on their women. These women need someone to support them and protect them from violent men on them or their children. For that, I will use posters and ads against violence and harassment of women.
    And you ? What do you think about this subject ?

  8. If I protested against something, it would be for the high rate of unemployment in France. It’s in my opinion a shame for a well developed country like France to have a rate of unemployment wich is nearing 10%. If we compare it to Germany, our rate is three times more important. I don’t know why it’s due but the president have to change that not only for the image of France but for the country him self.

  9. I don't follow the news, but I know that now there are a lot of strikes about the transports and the trains. In my opinion, I don't know if it's good or not to go on strike. I see eye to eye with Lucie, I love animals and i would like to be vegan or vegetarian, because they are ways of living which seek to exclude the consumption or use of any products from animals, and i would denounce the products testing on animals, and even the laboratories which test their medicines on animals ( like monkeys, mouses, horses...). To make propaganda, I would use something that doesn't effect the world, but I don't know if it's possible. However, I would use social networth, because there are a lot of persons, who are using them, and everyone can see the subject of my strike on web. I would make banners too, or songs, even if I can't sing, because everyone love songs and singing, and I think a song is really simple to learn and allows to send messages.

  10. If I should protest against something, it would be against strikes.
    This is stupid. Those people are complaining for literally nothing.
    SNCF stikers are the worst. They are blocking everything so people can't go neither to work nor travelling. And why are they protesting ? Because the government wants to abolish their privileges.

    Hello, here is my correction: "shocked"

  14. Hello everyone !

    I've read all of your posts and I totally agree with all of you and that scares me a little bit because that shows that there are so much things to change in the world, not only in France, and to protest against.
    First of all let's talk about the discrimination of women which is one of the most highlighted subject these days and even though the condition of women in the society is way better than a few years ago, there is still inequalities as the pay gap or "battered women" as Clarisse said, and I think we should really fight against it until it disappears entirely.
    I would also go on a strike to support abortion as Lucie because it is a right granted to women thanks to other women who fought for it as Simone Veil, and unfortunaly it is still forbidden and punished in some countries as in Salvador, here is an amazing and upsetting report on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu5vT69WpjI

    Furthemore if I could, I would have participated to the demonstration that happened in the USA to protest against gun license because I think that no one, expect maybe the police for extreme cases, should have the right and the power to kill someone especially a child. And because it is too easy to say that the killer had mental issues because if he didn't have any weapon nobody would have been killed.

    I think I would use posters and slogans but especially the irony because it always provokes something and if you make someone laughs he will remember it and then could think about it more often. Nowadays the social medias are also very useful to spread a message so why not use it too.

  15. Hello ! If I should protest against something , I would protest against , In the workplace, women are frequently subjected to subtle discrimination by both sexes. Qualified women may be passed over for promotions because they become pregna . Women are also more likely to be judged by their looks and how they dress than are their male counterparts and i disagree .

  16. Hello,
    If I should protest against something, it would be against animals (domestic or not) maltreatment. Indeed, I hate the bad people towards the animals, by abandoning them, by making them suffer, by making live wild animals in circuses all their life because somebody decided it. So I would create an association like the SPA and help the animals, with posters, documentaries, maybe songs, and demonstrations to be heard.

  17. Hello !
    I think that manifesting is good and if I could do it I will do it against the discrimination of women. In our society, women are belittled by men, which is unfair. If I could in this manifestation I would use signs writing that all beings are equal as well as men and women.

    I think lot of people do a strike for nothing. There are better causes to defend than his salary or these privileges.
    I think there are many causes to defend. A lot of people are starving even in France and many in poor countries. Far to many pets are abandoned or abused each year. The right to have a gun in the USA should be prohibited because it easier to killing. Freedom is lacking in some countries for the women and sometimes for everyone. Pollution ravages the earth. A lot of associations take care of this but that is not enough. I would like to proteste against all the injustices of the world there are to many.
    I think use posters is useless for reach the population as Amira said you need the medias.

  19. Hello!
    If I should protest against something, it would be against racism. I think that there are a lot of discriminations about that all over the world (for example at work or at school). I think it's so stupid because we are all equal and we are all the same and a top of that we have the same rights!
    In my opinion, it will be important to send a message from children and teenagers because it's the new generation and it must fight. We could do speaches or create some advertising on the television to fight against RACISM.
