Sagot :
I am going to talk about the notion “spaces and exchanges”. This notion deals with the geographical and symbolic areas that all societies occupy and the interactions between men and different societies. The different spaces of the world are nowadays more and more connected to each other. With (article 'the' is used for specificity) globalization, the world has become a small village where exchanges are more and more important. To illustrate this notion I have chosen to take the example of India to show the extent to which globalization and the increase of the exchanges can develop a country.
Until the 1970's, with Nehru as prime minister, India was a poor country which wasn't open to trade; whereas today, India is an emerging country which takes part in globalization.
To explain these changes, we have studied a text about the new face of India, the narrator is an American whose ancestors came from India. The narrator used to live in the USA where he was born and where he was brought up before moving to India six years ago: that’s where he lives today. His parents chose to leave India in order to look for better-paying jobs: they thought that, leaving India (this part does not add to the sentence), they were going to rise socially.
The Indians perceived themselves as inferior to the Americans, so if the narrator said to his cousins in India that he was Indian, they would be ashamed because they thought their country was too backward (who feels the shame?).
Before moving to India, the only knowledge that the narrator had about India was what his parents told him and what he saw when he went there on holidays, so he hardly knew India. He thought that India was a frustrating country since it has the second largest population in the world, and that there is too much inequalities among the social classes. But once there, he realized that he was wrong: his pre-conceived ideas didn’t fit the reality and he witnessed dramatic changes insofar as India now takes part in globalization.
Indeed, today India is an emerging country whose economy is developing faster and faster (developing very fast). It has become a consumption society where farms have been replaced by factories. For instance, the city Bangalore in India is the hearth (heart) of High technology and it is compared to the Silicon Valley in USA.
This evolution allowed the increase of the sociological exchanges within Indian society. Indeed, in regards the state of mind, people have realized that their country is less and less traditional, they are aware that the customs don’t matter as much as before.
Thus, among the changes that the narrator witnessed, he was struck to see that the castes don’t determine the social status anymore. Before, people from the lower castes were supposed not to challenge their social condition, they had to perform any occupation without complaining. Whereas now there are exchanges between the castes which allow them to graduate in universities, to escape from determinism.
They are also exchanges between men and women. Indeed, although divorce is still a taboo, more and more women dare to break up their marriages. And even if the parents are shocked it doesn’t matter anymore.
Moreover, there are exchanges between the religions: indeed, today, there are marriages between people who don’t have the same religion. Besides, some Hindus turn into meat-eaters whereas it’s forbidden to eat beef since the cow is considered as a goddess.
Note: Great Job. For the conclusion just give a brief summary of your views about the discussion.
