COUNTER-POWER: The March For Our Lives movement

An example of counter-power, against the use of weapons in America. In the face of all the chaos it can cause. The power of arms in this country is very much used. A lot of people have weapons. Which is a form of power because weapons control a lot of things by force.


KEY ISSUE:

What can we extent can we say that guns are ingrained in the U.S culture?

First of all I would like to give a quick definition of that notion. The power is a strength or force exerted or capable of being exerted, power is synonym of might. He can be exerted by different thing.

But especially the violence in US, an other act of power by firearms.
the culture, in America,of gun is considerate like the roots. It's a culture and like a tradition.
To aim a gun at somebody it is to subject him, to have the right of life and death on him.
Despite all slaughter, nothing changes because of big lobby like NRA who put pressure on government for not to forbid the sale of weapons. As a French citizen, don’ understand their way of thinking. For me to live in terror at school, see all its bloodshed is horrible.


We can see through these documents the power of song, and of the movements that are trying to fight, against the real power that threatens. In order to denounce firearms, an instrument that in some way has become part of American culture.

  I think what struck me the most was the end of the film because the two killers are young teenagers like us. We see no expressions of regret but a pleasure in killing other young people, other people without any scruples.    We see the atrocity that can happen when we least expect it. Despite a heavy atmosphere and the fact that the characters are filmed from behind which is ennociating of a tragic end...and makes us think about it. However, the film remains calm and slow throughout. The ending therefore appears even more shocking.  What is impressive, would be this aspect of contrasts between the slowness of the film, the banality of the actions. A typical day of a high school student. We see the activities of each character, their hobbies. We see them in the corridors through repeated actions. Effects through slow motion replays. Everything seems calm, heavy atmosphere... we expected a little action but not like that. Not a big massacre...

POST 14: TºL LVA & LVO: YOUR INDIVIDUAL DOCUMENT ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CURRENT HEALTH CRISIS We are in a special situation right now, in the midst of a health crisis that we have to face. In this period of coronavirus that affects the world, how can we link this difficult phenomenon, never known before, with the notion of spaces and exchanges?   Personal document:   To begin with, this picture shows us the Earth 'surrounded' by a mask, which from my point of view sums up our current situation in a simple and eye-catching way.  We can then connect this poster with our notion.  First of all we can see different things through this picture:  The mask is all around the Earth, so we can see that this virus affects everyone!  Whether it is in America, France, China, Spain etc... It's a pandemic that affects the whole population.  We can see with the appearance of the mask all around us that the earth is 'enclosed', h...
