Mythes et héros / Espaces et échanges

Résumé du document

INTRO I will deal with the notion of spaces and exchanges and will be interested in
globalization which is the increase of trade around the world, especially by large companies
producing and trading goods in many different countries. It is directly related to this notion
since exchanges appear nowadays in many different forms such as money, poeple, data, and
take place between every town, cities, countries or even continent.

Introduction: I will deal with the notion Myths and Heroes. A hero can be a mythological
figure, a person who is admired for his/her achievements, a superhero, a role model or an icon.
Between 1954 and 1968, the civil rights movement sought to establish real equality of civil
rights for Black Americans by abolishing laws that established racial segregation and resulted
in lynchings. In these summary executions perpetrated by a group of people, or even a crowd,
the accused of real or imaginary crimes had no right to a regular trial, including the possibility
to defend themselves. In this context, a number of orators emerged, among whom Protestant
pastor Martin Luther King, an apostle of non-violence, Rosa Parks, and Malcom X.
