1/ Women's right to vote

First Activity

What were the "arguments" against women's suffrage at the time?
Create a dialog between a suffragette and an opponent of the suffrage movement

Suffragists and suffragettes

Activity

Rédiger un essai d'au moins 300 mots sur le sujet suivant :

What do you think of the suffragettes and their tactics? Were their actions justified?
In general, is it justified to use violence to fight injustice?

Le but est de formuler un point de vue personnel, argumenté et documenté.

Je vous propose de faire ce travail soit personnellement, soit à deux ou trois maximum.

Essayez de profiter de ce travail pour vous construire une liste d'expressions utiles pour argumenter. Sur internet, vous pouvez trouver tout un tas de liste en tapant des mots clés comme "useful expressions" et "essay" ou "debating" ou "discussion", mais le mieux est de vous constituer, vous-même, cette liste en repérant des structures de phrase pratiques et idiomatiques (propres à la langue en question).

Premières : Disagreements and Democracy

A. Ethical Dilemmas

1/ Introduction to the topic

Six 'Would You Rather' Dilemmas

The definition of a moral dilemma

« Ethical dilemmas are situations in which an agent stands under two (or more) conflicting ethical requirements, none of which overrides the other. Two ethical requirements are conflicting if the agent can do one or the other but not both: the agent has to choose one over the other. Two conflicting ethical requirements do not override each other if they have the same strength or if there is no sufficient ethical reason to choose one over the other. Only this type of situation constitutes an ethical dilemma in the strict philosophical sense, often referred to as a genuine ethical dilemma. Other cases of ethical conflicts are resolvable and are therefore not ethical dilemmas strictly speaking. This applies to many instances of conflict of interest as well. For example, a businessman hurrying along the shore of a lake to a meeting is in an ethical conflict when he spots a drowning child close to the shore. But this conflict is not a genuine ethical dilemma since it has a clear resolution: jumping into the water to save the child significantly outweighs the importance of making it to the meeting on time. » (Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_dilemma#Definition)
