Jérôme Jarre, a committed influencer.

We are going to talk about Jérôme Jarre, a famous humanist.He was born on the 12th of June 1990 in Albertville. We can qualify this man like a French humanist,influencer and philanthropist. He was famous thanks to social networks like Snapchat,Vine,Instragam and Youtube. For example, on Vine, he is followed by 7 million internet users. Thanks to his influence, he will realize many humanitarian mission.

Firstly, on March 15, 2017, Jérôme Jarre launched a call for donations on Twitter, for the starvation caused by the drought in Somalia.He collected 1,8 millions of dollars. Thanks to this donations he collaborates with the compagny Turkish Air Lines in order to send some food and water to help the people of Somalia. 60 ton of food and water were sent. He decided to help this population when he spoke with a volunteer who explain to him that he saw a little girl died at 6 years old because of dehydration. His compaign tactics were the social networks. He received the help of celebrities like Omar Sy, Ben Stiller..

After this succes, he decides to go on the 27th november 2017 in Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh where there is the most biggest refugee camp. The people who live in this area are called "Rohingyas",  they have suffered of an ethnic cleasing (624 000 people). Thanks to social networks he creates a community "Love Army for Rohingyas" who call out to the Turkish President in order to put in place a humanitarian aid. In front of his silence the Love Army decides to open a nest egg.In several days,1 948 525 dollars were collected to deliver life-saving needs (water, food, drugs..). This mission is not over. 

Despite this sucess this communauty leaves perplexed some NGOs ( non-gouvernmental organisation) especially « Doctors of the World » who invited Jérôme Jarre to come see how is the reality and their operation. They does not criticize this humanist but they want to analyze and understand his way to help some people in difficulty. The NGO are waiting to see the aftermath of the events. We can imagine an alliance with NGO like Doctors of the world and the Love Army.

As a conclusion, Jérôme Jarre is an inspirational person because he have used his influence to help some population. If this man and his collaborators have don’t do that, the mortality rate due of the starvation, the dehydration and wealth problems would have increased. Even if the Love army know some protests she has allowed to save thousands of person.

Question that can be asked: Is Disney ruining young girl's identites?

     Frist, what girls learn from Dsney Princesses?

Always beautiful,helpful,clean(Snow-White),save by a prince,the beautiful wedding with beautiful princess dress.They are also calm patient and listening and  especially smart.A beauty is a girl's number one priority.

A girl should never speak up.But they have different assets a seduction(Jasmine in Aladdin),housewife doing the housework(Blanche-Neige in Snow-White and the seven dwarfs)

    What lesson does each princess teach?

-Cendrillon in Cinderella:The lesson is only girls of high stature can be capabe of finding love.Cinderella also teaches girls that they are not servants. An inocent song turns into a blod statement about women.Cinderella teaches girls they are supposed to do domestic tasks:not for boys.

-Blanche-Neige in Snow-White and the seven dwarfs: You'd think their mother would clean. Snow-White teaches girls they must clean and be domestic.

-Ariel in The Little Mermaid: Girl's need to be pretty and be silenced.Ursula show's that girls do not need intelligence. A pretty face is all that matters. Ariel teaches girls they must change for a mans and give up family. Ariel  teaches young girls that everything about a girls superficial.

-Belle in Beauty and the Beast: Belle shows that it is okay to be in an abusive relationship by staying with the beast.The Beauty and the beast shows girls they need to accept that men are dominant in relationships. 

        The women are Independ(Pocahoontas),Heroic(Mulan),Headstrong(Jasmine),Determined(Tiana),Drievn(Raipoce),...

   Disney has a large impact on you girl's indentity.

I choose the second video because it proves the cliche of the housewife. There is a debate in this video and that's what I find interesing. In first, in "Cinderella", the woman is pretended to be a servant while the boy does not do the house work. Then, in " The little Mermaid", the girl is forced to shut up, to be pretty and assorted as Ariel shows. In the same Disney, the girl do need to be educated, so, to stay stupid. In "Beauty and the Beast", the woman must not be the head of the couple. To conclude, the Disney teaches us that the woman can be independent.

This is the URL of the video before to see the analysis :

The video I present to you is named « Sexism,Strenght and Dominance :Masculinty in Disney Films » of Sanjay Newton.

The author presents us the doctor Justin Lewis who tells us Disney films have a very high impact on our children .Indeed children grow up with a lot of stereotypes they have seen, like cute princesses and powerful knights.The author tells us about the relation between girls and boys in Disney movies.They always have heterosexual relationships and men consider women as servants or accessories.We can see a character probably choosing his future wife.There are some girls on a scene and he says « let’s take a look ! » and he looks at all the girls, saying comments such as « I hate your hairs ». Then we hear a music,the scene reprensents men looking for a  a women to admire his muscles and another one looking for woman for cooking good things. The youtuber say Disney Films teach us that « to be a man you must to be strong and violent ». The highest contrast is between Lefou and Gaston: ,Lefou is very small and Gaston is very athletic.Gaston beats Lefou with a violent uppercut to show his strongness. He feels like a man when he punches the little character.

Another example is  Mulan who wants to join the army, but to be able to do so, she should become a man. Therefore she must become stronger and learn how to use weapons. In Disney films  you must be violent, strong and use weapons to become a real man. In Disney films there are also a lot of violence between two men to decide who wins the love of the girl or to preserve a status.These scenes aim at determining who is the best man.

At the end the youtuber propose to create more vulnerability and weaker male characters to help boys who aren’t very strong and have soft mentality. 

Thanks you to reading my analysis

Female stereotypes in Disney Films.

          Since its creation, Disney has had an important impact on young girls; indeed, the brand ruins young girls' identity with the Disney's princesses. Disney delivers bad messages to girl with their princesses.

          Young girls are learning haw to be a princess. A princess musn't nage, bragge, sweat, slip, trip, threat, slurp, burp, speak up, show her feelings and has to look perfect, never rest... Outside beauty must be princess' number one priority; they are all smile with an average size and a beautiful face with big eyes. The first Disneys follow the society mentality of this time and creates the stereotype characteristics of the woman at that time.

So first, Disney created Snow-White in 1958, who teaches to little girls that they must clean and be a domestic, that women are supposed  to stay at home, that she has to cook for the man and can't do nothing else except clean up.

After this, there was Cinderella, who reinforced the fact that girls were ment to be a domestic, that she must cook, clean, and have no rest. She made manual things like it was said in the song "Cindrelly" where a mouse says "leave the sewing to the women". Moreover, if a girl didn't have a high social level, she couldn't find love.

In the little mermaid, Ariel doesn't need to speak to please Eris, she just has to be pretty. Indeed, girls don't need to be intelligent, a pretty face is all that matters: "you have your looks, your pretty face and don't be underestimate the important of the body language" like Ursula says in her song. By accepting Ursula's deal, Ariel teaches girls that they must change for a man's love. Moreover, Ariel chooses to be human and to leave her family for "true" love. So this princess also teaches that everything about a girl is superficial.

In the Beauty and the Beast, Belle accepts the Beast' domestic abuse which shows to young girl that it is okay to be in an abusive realtionship and that girls need to be in inferiority and to be prisoner of their future husband.

All of those lessons that were transmitted in Disney movies permanently damage young girl's identity and that girls can't live like men and that they can't follow they dreams because when you are a young girl, it's just impossible to change the world.

However, Disney has seen its mistake and over time, it tries to make them up. They start to create a portray of women in a more positive way, like Pocahontas who is an independent woman and creates a constrast with Belle who is under the Beast' abusive domination.

There is also Mulan, who is heroic and for the first time it's not a boy but a girl who is in the skin of the hero.

As well, Jasmine in Aladdin is headstrong and doesn't want to be married to be a prince she doesn't like.

And Disney is in progression with Tania in the Princess and the Frog, who is determined because she want to open her own restaurant and with Tangled who is driven and chooses to live her own life.

Today, Disney princesses continue to change the mentality with the creation of so many princesses like Elsa in Frozen and Viana. But it's important to monitor the Disney message that children are receiving from television.

          Disney over the time changes its strereotypes of the perfect girl with its princesses. This itsn't the only mistake of Disney; it's a mistake of the society because Disney evolves with the society and creates princesses taht reflect the image of the evolution of women. But it's always important to say to young people that DISNEY ISN'T THE REALITY and it's not an exemple to create their life because you are the person who creates the world of tomorrow and to honor the women place in the future society.

The video talks about what the princesses taught us. At first, we are told that the girls should never speak up and that the beauty is a girl’s number one priority. What lesson each princess teach? 

     Cinderella is the domestic of her stepmother and half sisters, she teaches to girls they are supposed to do domestic tasks and that the young girls are need to be domestic. The morale of this princess is that the only girls of high stature can be capable of finding love...

      Snow White, teaches to girls that the women are supposed to stay in the home to make other people’s housework...

       Belle, shows that it is okay to be in an abusive relationship by staying with the Beast. She accepted the domination of this latter. In the Beauty and the Beast shows that the girls need to accept than men are dominant in relationships... Disney romanticizes domestic abuse.

        Ariel, teaches to girls to be pretty and be silenced. To accepts the reality without speak and speak their thoughts. Ursula shows that girls do not need intelligence. Just a pretty face it’s all that matters. She teaches to girls that everything is superficial about a girl...

However, certain princesses are different, like Pocahontas ( independent ), Mulan ( Heroic ), Jasmine ( Headstrong)...

 All princesses show the sad reality of the people’s thinking about the role of women and they teach lessons that could permanently damage young girl’s identity. Certain Disney films are worse than others but progress is being made ! All this has a large impact on young girl’s identity because they think that this situation of the princesses in Disney is the reality and that it’s totally normal. 

Personally, I think that Disney wants denounced the stereotypes about women because a lot of people’s think that the woman has her place into the kitchen or other...

            The video "Female stereotypes in Disney Films" shows that Disney's movies have an influence on little girls who watch it like a distraction. In reality, Disney share a message which can became dangerous. For example, Snow-White and Cinderella show that women's have to clean the house, take care of children and always obey to her husband, or, more particulary, to men. In Beauty and the Beast, it shows that men are superiors and women have to accept this fatality. In every movie, we found stereotypes which insist on the facts that women are inferiors than men. The films that we study here are "old" films : Snow-White was published in 1937, The Little Mermaid in 1989, Cinderella in 1973 and  The Beauty and the Beast in 1991, so time was different our time, and it wasn't dramatic to spread this kind of message.

             In the video, we speak about Cinderella and in this film, it is said beauty is the number one priority of girls and this is a stereoptype, not all of girls / women are not obsessed by her image, what connects with th extract of the little mermaid where it is said women have to please men, and change their apparence for him. Disney shows an restrictive image of women.

             Finally, nowadays, they try to make efforts to limit stereotypes in their movies and to be more equal.

Steve Biko was born on December, 18. 1946 and died on September, 12 1977. He was the leader of the Black Consciousness Movement (which insists on the notion of black pride), he was arrested and murdered. He was also a black activist from South Africa and one of the figures of the anti-apartheid struggle.

On September 12. 1972, Biko died in custody, officially following a hunger strike. The preaching at his funeral was provided by Desmond Tutu, future Nobel Peace Prize winner, so close to Black theology.

The conditions of detention and the brutal death of Biko were the subject of an international controversy that resulted in the condemnation of the South African regime. At the UN, the Security Council voted on a sudden basis resolutions 417 (31 October 1977) and 418 (4 November 1977), the latter imposing an embargo on arms sales to South Africa. After his death, Biko became the symbol of black resistance to the cruelty of power in place.

Asked by Liberal MP Helen Suzman about Biko's death, justice minister Jimmy Kruger's response resonated around the world: "Steve Biko's death leaves me cold". The police concerned received only a blame at first while the doctors involved were attacked by their colleagues, including a medical ethics survey conducted by Frances Ames, which ended in 1985, when the Supreme Court of South Africa ruled in favour of sanctions against surgeons. The police finally confessed the murder of Steve Biko to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the late 1990s.

On October 7, 2003, nearly ten years after the advent of a multi-racial regime in South Africa, the South African justice system decided not to prosecute the five police officers for lack of evidence and no witnesses.

my opinion: "this event marked me because this man showed courage by going on a hunger strike after his arrest. Moreover, during his arrest, Biko was tortured, which touches me deeply."

A few months ago, we went to Bois Belleau (Belleau Wood).

The memorial of Bois Belleau pays tribute to the American soldiers who fought there in June 1918 during the German attack when they wanted to reach Paris. This victory has been so important for the allies that the Bois Belleau has officially been renamed : "Bois de la brigade des Marines" on 30 June 1918.

What I remember the most during the visit was the number of white graves that were standing in front of the big memorial where the names of the missings soldiers were written.

We visited a small museum of The Battle of Belleau Wood. In this museum we saw some stuff that the soldiers were wearing like the weapons or the clothes or even the items they were using to eat.

In Belleau Wood we saw some remains of this battle like German cannons or traces of trenches and shell holes.

A memorial of the 4th Marine Brigade stands in the middle of Belleau Wood.

Today there is also a Marines’ military base in Afghanistan that is named “Belleau Wood”.

We also did some research on soldiers that fought in this battle and that were buried at Belleau Wood or or whose name was written in the memorial of the missing soldiers.
