Bonjour, (Je repost car j'ai eu une réponse absurde, il faut supprimer l'ancienne question svp)
Je prépare mon oral en anglais sur la notion "myths and heroes" (mythes et héros) et j'aimerai que quelqu'un corrige ma fiche de synthèse svp. Merci d'avance !
In order to start my presentation about the notion Myths and Heroes, I will, first, define those notions. Myths are popular beliefs or traditions which often relate phenomenons or situations to heroes, gods or magic. A hero is a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character or a person who, in the opinion of others, has special achievements, abilities, or personal qualities and is regarded as a role model or ideal. So by analysing those notions "myth and hero", we will try to answer the following question: Can artists be heroes ?
I. Artists denouncing
Music is the way to express facts, feelings and ideas. People have written protest songs to speak about political and social issues. We studied last year the "work songs". A work song is a piece of music closely connected to a form of work, either song while conducting a task (usually to coordinate timing) or a song linked to a task which might be a connected narrative, description or protest song. The workers denounced through these songs slavery and their "masters" thanks to "Let My People Go" (denounces black slaves, mostly children in a cotton field). Protest songs have also denounced, war, poverty and inequality. There are supported peace and civil rights. In class, we quickly saw several singers. For example, Bob MARLEY a singer who was born in Jamaica, he lived in a ghetto and he was poor. In his most famous song which is entitled " get up stand up ", he calls the black people to fight for their rights and denounces some aspects of the colonization. So for me, some singers as Bob MARLEY or John LENNON (criticizes the Vietnam War) are heroes because they fight for values.
II. Artists who act to change things
In addition to the artists who denounce behaviors (especially musicians / singers), there are artists who act directly to defend causes, to change opinions. The "stars" are today very followed by the media or on social networks, and they have a great influence with their fans but also in the world. Some take advantage of this notoriety to share a message or defend a cause that is important to them. Thus we can take the example of a heroine, Emma Watson, a feminist, who inspires courage through her fight against inequalities between the sexes. I think this is a real example for young girls and even young boys to claim their rights. She delivered a speech at the UN (ONU) in 2014 as a goodwill ambassador to promote feminism equal rights and opportunities for both men and women with the “HeforShe” campaign. She fights for equal pay, access to the contraception pill or abortion, access to the leadership, politics …
So artists can use their fame and popularity to mobilise people to stand up against problem in our societies, and that’s why they can be heroes for me and for the people who are concerned by their actions.
To conclude, artists can be heroes when their actions play a role in the opinion of people, their ways of thinking, as E. Watson wants to do ... Heroes can also be a symbol of freedom. Indeed, they represent a people or a group of people excluded from society, as "protest songs" helped to fight racism against black people with Bob Marley or Martin Luther King. They allow to denounce inequalities, "bad" behaviors ...Certain person after their death, fascinates even more the people, their became a Myth, like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and more others.
