La lutte pour l’égalité et l’inclusion dans le monde anglophone

Les sociétés anglophones ont été le théâtre de profondes inégalités, mais aussi de puissants mouvements pour l’inclusion. Aux États-Unis, la ségrégation raciale a perduré jusqu’au Civil Rights Act de 1964. Le mouvement des droits civiques, porté par Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks ou Malcolm X, a permis de renverser les lois ségrégationnistes. Pourtant, le racisme systémique persiste, comme l’ont rappelé les manifestations Black Lives Matter après la mort de George Floyd en 2020.

Au Royaume-Uni, l’Equality Act de 2010 a consolidé les lois anti-discrimination en protégeant neuf caractéristiques, dont l’âge, le handicap, le sexe, la race, la religion et l’orientation sexuelle. Le mariage homosexuel a été légalisé en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles en 2013, aux États-Unis en 2015 par la Cour suprême, et en Australie en 2017 après un référendum.

Le Canada fait figure de pionnier avec sa politique officielle de multiculturalisme (1971) et sa Charte des droits et libertés (1982), qui garantit l’égalité de tous les citoyens. L’inclusion des peuples autochtones reste cependant un défi majeur, comme en témoigne le travail de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation.

La représentation dans les médias et la culture populaire est également devenue un enjeu central. Pendant longtemps, les films et séries hollywoodiens offraient une image stéréotypée, voire inexistante, des minorités. Le succès de films comme Black Panther (2018), avec un casting majoritairement noir, ou Crazy Rich Asians (2018), première production hollywoodienne entièrement asiatique depuis vingt-cinq ans, a montré que la diversité peut être un atout commercial et culturel. Le mouvement #OscarsSoWhite a dénoncé le manque de diversité dans l’industrie cinématographique, poussant l’Académie à réformer ses critères.

L’inclusion des personnes handicapées est un autre combat. L’Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) aux États-Unis a interdit les discriminations fondées sur le handicap et imposé des aménagements dans les lieux publics. Au Royaume-Uni, des campagnes comme « Scope » militent pour une société où les personnes handicapées sont représentées et valorisées.

Ainsi, la diversité et l’inclusion ne sont pas des acquis définitifs : elles se construisent jour après jour, au prix de luttes politiques, sociales et culturelles.

Représentation et diversité dans les médias anglophones

La question de la représentation dans les médias est centrale dans le débat sur l’inclusion. Les films, les séries, la publicité et les journaux façonnent notre perception du monde. Lorsque certains groupes sont absents ou caricaturés, cela renforce les stéréotypes et l’exclusion.

À Hollywood, la diversité a longtemps été absente devant et derrière la caméra. Le mouvement #OscarsSoWhite, lancé en 2015, a dénoncé le fait que les nominations aux Oscars étaient très majoritairement blanches. Depuis, l’Académie des Oscars a modifié ses règles pour encourager une meilleure représentation. Des films comme Moonlight (2016), qui explore l’identité d’un jeune homme noir et homosexuel, ou Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), porté par un casting majoritairement asiatique, ont été salués.

Au Royaume-Uni, la BBC s’est engagée à augmenter la diversité dans ses programmes d’ici 2025. L’actrice Rose Ayling-Ellis, sourde, a remporté Strictly Come Dancing en 2021, marquant une victoire symbolique pour la communauté sourde.

Dans la littérature jeunesse, des autrices comme Malorie Blackman (Noughts & Crosses) ou Jacqueline Wilson abordent le racisme, le handicap ou la pauvreté. Les appels à « des livres qui ressemblent à leurs lecteurs » (mirrors and windows) se multiplient.

Cependant, des résistances demeurent. Certains dénoncent un « wokisme » qui imposerait des quotas. Le débat reste vif entre ceux qui voient l’inclusion comme un progrès nécessaire et ceux qui la perçoivent comme une contrainte. Pour les chercheurs en sciences sociales, la diversité n’est pas une menace mais un enrichissement, à condition qu’elle ne soit pas cosmétique (tokenism).

“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter their colour.” — Maya Angelou

Representation in media is not just a matter of entertainment; it shapes how we see ourselves and others. When certain groups are absent or stereotyped, it sends a powerful message of exclusion. Therefore, ensuring diverse and authentic representation is essential for a fair society.

First of all, seeing oneself on screen validates one's identity. For children from minority backgrounds, a character who looks like them can boost self-esteem and broaden their ambitions. Moreover, representation challenges prejudice. When audiences encounter diverse characters with complex stories, stereotypes are replaced by empathy and understanding.

However, the question of quotas is controversial. On the one hand, quotas can force an industry resistant to change to become more inclusive. They guarantee that underrepresented voices are heard. On the other hand, critics argue that quotas may lead to tokenism – including a minority character simply to tick a box, without giving them a meaningful role. In my opinion, quotas can be a useful temporary tool, but they are not enough. True inclusion requires a change of culture, not just numbers.

To conclude, representation matters because it reflects the world as it truly is: diverse. I believe the media industry must embrace this responsibility, not out of obligation, but because it enriches storytelling for everyone.

Présentation orale

Introduction

Good morning. The document I’m going to present is a photograph taken during a Pride march in London. It shows a vibrant, joyful crowd walking through the streets, waving rainbow flags and holding colourful banners. This image is directly connected to the notion “Diversity and inclusion”. The main question it raises is: how do events like Pride marches promote diversity and inclusion? First, I will describe the photograph in detail. Then, I will analyse its deeper meaning. Finally, I will discuss whether such events are still necessary today and give my personal opinion.

Description

Let’s start with the description. The photograph captures a moment of celebration in broad daylight. The crowd is massive and incredibly diverse. We can see people of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds. There are young couples holding hands, older participants, families with children, and groups of friends laughing together. In the foreground, a man – probably a father – is carrying his young daughter on his shoulders. Both of them are smiling broadly. The little girl is holding a small rainbow flag. All around them, people are holding banners and placards. I can read three slogans clearly: “Love is Love”, “Trans Rights Are Human Rights”, and “Proud Ally”. Rainbow flags are everywhere – some are attached to long poles, others are draped around people’s shoulders like capes. The overall atmosphere is one of joy, unity and pride. The bright colours and the sunshine contribute to the positive energy of the scene.

Signification

This photograph is much more than a simple holiday snapshot. Pride marches have a deep symbolic meaning. First, they are a celebration of identity. For decades, LGBTQ+ people were forced to hide who they were. The rainbow flag and the slogans proclaim that it is not only acceptable to be different – it is something to be proud of. The slogan “Love is Love” reminds us that love between two people does not depend on their gender. Second, these events demand visibility. By walking through the streets, LGBTQ+ people and their allies make themselves seen and heard. They show the rest of society that they exist, that they are part of the community. The presence of the “Proud Ally” sign is particularly important because it shows that inclusion is not just the business of the minority concerned: everyone has a role to play. Third, Pride marches are a form of political protest. The banner “Trans Rights Are Human Rights” reminds us that these celebrations have roots in struggle, from the Stonewall riots in 1969 to contemporary battles against discrimination. So, this photograph captures both the festive aspect and the serious message: the fight for equal rights is not over.

Lien avec l’axe

This brings me to the notion “Diversity and inclusion”. Pride marches are a powerful tool for promoting inclusion because they create a space where differences are not only tolerated, but celebrated. They send a message to the whole of society: diversity is a strength, not a threat. The image shows that when people from all backgrounds come together – LGBTQ+ people, their families, their friends, their allies – a sense of belonging is created. The child on her father’s shoulders is a beautiful symbol: she is growing up in a world where diversity is embraced, where she can see that love takes many forms and that all of them deserve respect. Events like this also have a broader impact. They influence public opinion, they inspire media coverage, and they put pressure on politicians to advance equal rights. In the UK, Pride marches contributed to the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2013. So, they are both a mirror of social progress and an engine for further change.

Opinion personnelle

Now, the question is: are Pride marches still necessary today? In my opinion, absolutely yes. Some people say that because same-sex marriage is now legal in many countries, Pride has become nothing more than a party. But discrimination is far from over. In many parts of the world, being LGBTQ+ is still a crime. Even in countries like the UK or the US, hate crimes against transgender people are rising, and LGBTQ+ youth are more likely to suffer from mental health issues because of bullying and rejection. Pride is a reminder that we must not be complacent. Moreover, it is a celebration that gives hope to young people who are struggling with their identity. Seeing a crowd like this can literally save lives. So, I believe Pride marches are more than necessary – they are a vital expression of freedom, solidarity and resilience.

Conclusion

To conclude, this photograph beautifully captures the spirit of Pride: joyful, defiant, inclusive. It shows how a single public event can strengthen a community, educate the public and promote the values of equality and respect. As long as there is discrimination, there will be a need for Pride. The child on her father’s shoulders reminds us that we are not just marching for ourselves, but for the generations to come.

Thank you.

Exemples de questions de l'examinateur et réponses

Examinateur : Some people argue that Pride marches are too commercialised nowadays. What do you think?

Élève : I think there is some truth in that criticism. Many big companies now sponsor Pride events, put rainbow logos on their products, and sometimes it can feel like they are using the cause for profit – what we call “rainbow-washing”. However, I don’t think this makes Pride itself useless. The presence of companies shows that the LGBTQ+ community has economic power, and it also spreads the message to a wider audience. But it’s important that Pride remains connected to its activist roots and that the voices of the most marginalised people, like trans people or queer people of colour, are not drowned out by marketing.

Examinateur : Do you think there should be similar events for other minority groups?

Élève : Yes, I do. Many groups face discrimination and could benefit from such visibility. For example, there are marches for disability rights, for racial equality like Black Lives Matter, or for refugees. Each community has its own struggles and its own stories to tell. A public march allows them to express their identity, share their experiences and demand change. But what I find beautiful about the Pride march in the photograph is how it brings together allies from all backgrounds. I think the best marches are those that are intersectional, where different causes support each other.

Examinateur : Can a single event like a Pride march really change society, or is it just a temporary celebration?

Élève : I don’t think a single event can change society overnight. But Pride is not just one day – it’s part of a long-term movement. It creates momentum. People who attend might become more active in their communities. Someone who sees images of the march in the media might start questioning their own prejudices. And politicians who see hundreds of thousands of people in the streets realise that they need to listen. So, the march itself might be temporary, but its effects can be long-lasting. It plants seeds of change.

Article (adapté de The Guardian, 2023)
Why Seeing Ourselves on Screen Matters

When 12-year-old Amaya watched Black Panther for the first time, she burst into tears. “Finally, a superhero who looks like me,” she told her mother. Amaya, who is of Nigerian descent, had never seen a blockbuster movie with a predominantly Black cast. “It made me feel proud of my heritage,” she said.

Representation in film and television is not just about entertainment. Studies show that what we watch shapes our perception of reality. When children see characters who share their identity – whether in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation or disability – it boosts their self-esteem and broadens their sense of what is possible. Conversely, when certain groups are consistently absent or depicted as villains, the message is clear: you don’t belong.

The industry is slowly changing. The success of films like Crazy Rich Asians, Coco and Encanto has proved that diversity sells. Streaming platforms are investing in stories from underrepresented voices. However, critics warn against “tokenism”: including a single minority character simply to appear inclusive, without giving them a meaningful story. “True inclusion means telling authentic stories, not just ticking boxes,” says Dr Patel, a media studies professor.

For Amaya, the impact is personal. “Black Panther showed me I could be the hero. Now I want to become a filmmaker and tell stories that haven’t been told.”

Questions :

  1. What was Amaya’s reaction when she watched Black Panther, and why?

  2. According to the article, what are the positive effects of seeing oneself represented on screen?

  3. What negative effect can the absence of representation have?

  4. Explain the term “tokenism” as used in the article.

  5. What is Amaya’s ambition now?

5. What is Amaya's ambition now?
Amaya now wants to become a filmmaker and tell stories that haven’t been told.

script d'un reportage radio

Voix : On “Young Voices” today, we have Liam, a 17-year-old from Dublin. Liam uses a wheelchair and has become an activist for disability rights. Liam, what inspired you to speak out?

Liam : “Last year, my school organised a trip to a museum, and I couldn’t go because the bus wasn’t accessible. I was angry, but mostly I felt invisible. Then I realised I wasn’t alone – so many of my friends with disabilities face the same barriers every day. I started an Instagram account called ‘Access for All’, and it just took off.”

Journaliste : What kind of barriers do you talk about?

Liam : “Physical ones, obviously – steps, narrow doors, no lifts. But also invisible barriers. People assume you can’t do things. They talk to your assistant instead of you. It’s called ableism – discrimination against disabled people, even when it’s not intentional.”

Journaliste : What changes would you like to see?

Liam : “First, universal design: everything should be built to be accessible from the start, not added later as an afterthought. Second, representation. When was the last time you saw a disabled person in a TV advert, just living a normal life? We exist. We have dreams, jobs, relationships. Society needs to include us, not just accommodate us.”

Questions :

  1. What event made Liam decide to become an activist?

  2. Give one example of a physical barrier and one of an invisible barrier he mentions.

  3. What is “ableism” according to Liam?

  4. What are the two changes he would like to see?

  5. Explain what Liam means by “Society needs to include us, not just accommodate us.”

1. What event made Liam decide to become an activist?
Last year, his school organised a trip to a museum, and he couldn't go because the bus wasn't accessible. He felt angry and invisible, and then he realised he wasn't alone. He started an Instagram account called "Access for All".

2. Give one example of a physical barrier and one of an invisible barrier he mentions.

  • Physical barrier: steps, narrow doors, no lifts. (Any one is correct.)

  • Invisible barrier: people assume you can't do things, or they talk to your assistant instead of you.

3. What is "ableism" according to Liam?
Ableism is discrimination against disabled people, even when it's not intentional.

4. What are the two changes he would like to see?
First, universal design: everything should be built to be accessible from the start, not as an afterthought. Second, better representation: seeing disabled people in TV adverts and media, just living a normal life.

5. Explain what Liam means by "Society needs to include us, not just accommodate us."
He means that it's not enough to simply provide physical access (like ramps or lifts) as an accommodation. True inclusion means that disabled people should be fully integrated into all aspects of society, with their dreams, jobs and relationships recognized and valued, not just tolerated.

Lisez le texte suivant (adapté d’un article sur l’inclusion des personnes handicapées au Royaume-Uni) :

“In the UK, one in five people has a disability, yet they remain significantly underrepresented in the workplace. According to a 2022 report, only 53% of disabled adults are employed, compared to 82% of non-disabled adults. This employment gap is partly due to physical barriers, such as inaccessible offices or lack of assistive technology, but also to widespread prejudice. Many employers wrongly assume that hiring a disabled person will be expensive or complicated. Campaigners argue that inclusive hiring is not charity: it is common sense. Companies with diverse workforces perform better financially and are more innovative. The UK government has introduced the Disability Confident scheme to encourage businesses to recruit and retain disabled employees. However, progress remains slow. ‘We don’t just need ramps and lifts,’ says activist Sarah Connor. ‘We need a change of attitude.’”

But joining a local LGBTQ+ youth group changed everything. For the first time, I felt I belonged. We ran a campaign asking local shops to put ‘Everyone Welcome’ stickers in their windows. The support we received was overwhelming. It showed me that inclusion is not just about laws – it’s about everyday gestures.

C. Expression écrite (exemple pour le sujet 1)
I strongly believe that schools should teach about diversity and inclusion from an early age. Children are naturally curious, and if they learn about different cultures, family structures, and abilities from the start, they are less likely to develop prejudices. For instance, reading stories with characters of various backgrounds helps children understand that differences are normal and enriching. Moreover, discussions about respect and empathy can prevent bullying. Some argue that these topics should be taught by parents, but not all families address them. Therefore, schools have a crucial role to play. In my opinion, education is the key to building a truly inclusive society.
