Question: In your opinion, does our society need to admire extraordinary individuals?

First possible plan:

I/Indeed, our society must admire certain individuals

1/Model; shared values

Example: Buchinger => German from the 18th century => perseverant, hardworking

2/Promote progress: development

Example: The Black Venus => mentalities have changed over time with progress

II/But, we can do without extraordinary heroes

1>Too fictional

Example: Birdman, who is inaccessible

2/>Question of perception

Example: To a passerby by Baudelaire => triviality, mourning

3/Own identity: on our scale (> personal research)

Porec, the ordinary

Does the extraordinary appear spontaneously or is it created?

Second possible plan

I/Indeed, the extraordinary is an eruption

1/The rupture: either order, uncontrollable

Example: Petit Robert

2/The unpredictable, the tragic

Example: Sauvagnargue

3/The unprecedented; violent

Example: Prévert “having lunch with the cop”

II/But we can prepare for the extraordinary

1/>Intentionally deviate from norms

Example: Valéria Lukyanova => human Barbie

2/>A question of perception

Example: Baudelaire “To a passerby”

3/Research: progress

Example: Scientists > &=gt; intellectuals
