Hello, I was just wondering what your take is on the riots that are currently going on in France? Are they being discussed in your program?
We can't really talk about riots but just protest. The main characteristics which are common to most protests are: fighting, strikes, clash with the police and of course vandalism.
We haven't get a chance to discuss it in class yet, but it might be interesting to know what everyone think about it. As we face this situation everyday it hasn't the same impact as it should have abroad (amplifier)!!!!!
It is really not a huge deal over here. In my opinion, the American media has blown it way out of proportion. It seems that they students that are active in this feel very strongly about their viewpoints. Unfortunately, other youths have gotten caught up in it as well, for no apparent reason at all. But, unless you go "looking" for the riots, you'd never even know they were happening here in Paris.
Are you kidding me? The demonstrations are pathetic! I can comprehend the reasoning for this uprising...I mean, who wouldn't want a guarantee they they couldn't get fired without justifiable cause. If you don't want to get fired, try this one: Make yourself a valuable asset to the workplace...Peope don't fire good workers. On top of that, it's illegal to work over 35 hours in a week...working in France is a vacation. And to conclude my "opinion," I don't see why there's so many people up in arms about this "proposed law" because how many people under the age of 26 work in France anyway? I don't see many, most kids are happy letting mommy and daddy take care of them while they run around tagging (spray painting) everything they can reach, drinking, complaining, and reeking havoc on their own society.
