Seats and form of power

In what ways do the society has power to influence people ?

        To be differently than everybody is a difficult choice to make. The herd instinct is stronger than ever and we will always being part of a group, even if we don’t want. There is a multitude ways to take part in a group. And frequently, people who makes different choices are rejected by the society. For instance, someone who dress diffenrtly will be see differently than sopeone who follow the fashion. We will see « in what ways do the society has power to influence people choices ». To answer this question we will use four documents. The first one is a song, wrights by the Kinks in 1868, then we will studied a picture taken by norman rockwel. The third text is called Eveline $, writing in 1914 by James Joyce and the last document is Viruse of the mind by heather nova, published in 2001. We will first studied the importance of the childhood then the power of the family and finally the influence of a group.

        We are all influence by our childhood because it’s one of the most important periode of our life. During it, we learn how leave and how to respect people. We can see in the kinks text that an old friend of walter, is reminding of their adventures. This old friends is now choked by the chengement of the world and he thinks tha walter won’t remenber is name : «  Walter, if you saw me now,

you wouldn't even know my name. »

We can imagine that walter has change during his life because of multitude of things but his friends still remain of there past : And if I talked about the old times,

you'd get bored and you'd have nothing more to say.

Yes, people often change. » His old friend blame him to don’t remind of their childood because it’s an important part of a life : But memories of people can remain. » We can see that the character remind of a memory and he sound happy of his past ; We'd save up all our money

and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea. » So the childhood is an important periode for dreams and our futur. An,d we need remember of this periode

But some people can affect our choices and make us different.

        Our family is really important and can help us in lot of problems. But sometimes it can make us doubt are obligate us to make choices that we don’t like. For example in the text called Eveline, the firts charcter is stuck in a dilemma. She is scared by going whith her boyfriend or to stay in her country : Why should she be unhappy?

Xe can see that the main characher is asking herself. She tried to find the best solution. If she leave her family she will be happy but she will disappoint her family. At the end, she change her mind and decided to stay xith her family : No! No! No! It was impossible. » She was scared of the reaction of the people and her parents. We can see that her parents obligate her to make a choice that wasn’t the best to her.

        We can also studied the norman rockwell’s pictures where we can so a girl waiting for her parents to leave the principal’s office. The little gril has fought but she looks happy. We can imagine that her parents are made againts her but she made a choice that she won’t regret and this is the mlost ompoprtnat.

        Ther family has a big impact on our choices and to surpass this impact we need to make effort and be sure about what we are going to do.

Finally, one the most importnat influance is the influence of a groupe. >Indeed, people who whants to be different that the majority of people can be seeing badly         nd those views can make them change. We can see that in the song Virus of mind :
