I am going to talk about the presses power. We all read news papers or watch the news on TV. But we are not aware that this press exercices a huge power on us.

First of all, we have to define the notion of power.

_ authority or control.

_ different kinds of power : The political power ( ability to decide of the future of a country), the power of parents on their children, the power of a teacher on his students, and the infulence as a power. This is what I am going to talk about.

There are two types of press. Quality and Gutter press. Both of them count many readers.

_ In the one hand we have the quality press which has the role to inform people. They write articles about the political situation or important events. They have to be objectif, givig only the information with no opinion.

_ In the oder hand, the Gutter press like The Sun in Englend, Closer in France use a lot of colors and pictures to catch the readers. They releat scandals about famous people, and emplipfieze stories. They never hesitate to give wrong informations to win more money.

Finally, the police released him without any charges. The press destroyed his life for free. He was innocent but he will still be seen as a murderer. He won’t be able to teach English like he used to. So we can tell that the press has a huge power. Giving informations, leading our thoughts are the two roles and powers of the press.

As we have seen, we don’t always realize who has the power on us. Sometimes we don’t even realize that we have a power on someone. With cuber builing for example, teenagers who harrace others don’t really understand how their acts and words have a power on the boullied person.
