Warm Up Spaces & exchanges Hyperloop to study [stʌdɪ] Underground / subway the tube where is the train -> the tube where the train is Traveling materials : the iPhone as an item of Exchange  Today we studied a map of the world. There were arrows pointing at different parts of the world, connecting countries together. There were three main groups of countries, North America, Europe, and South-East Asia.  At first, we imagined it could be about traveling by plane, or international trade, or the movement of ressources. But we understood it was about a ubiquitous ( omniprésent ) device ( objet électronique, technologique ) ; a smartphone. Indeed, the iPhone is an device that requires ( recquiert ) a lot of ressources and movement and its parts go from country to country to be finally assembled, and sold. Is Globalization drawing us together, or tearing us apart?

Fighting the Luddites Today we tried to finish what we started last time. We studied two documents that explained how the Luddites worked : they would form a band of about 30 people, go to the house of a machine owner ( Propriétaire ) by night, and break the machines, sometimes hitting the owner. Initial reactions were to try and calm the rioters ( émeutiers ), by appealing ( en faisant appel ) to their patriotism and threatening them ( en les menaçant ), mentioning their families and (underpaid) jobs. Authorities also blamed the Napoleonic Wars for the troubles. Eventually, laws were voted to make machine-breaking punishable by death, and the army was sent against them.
