autres ou non (influence de leur opinion) : les arguments doivent porter sur le sentiment
de loyauté, des choix vestimentaires (cf texte), on pouvait élargir sur les choix de loisir,
l'usage des réseaux sociaux....
Sujet 2 : sujet d'argumentation portant directement sur les propos développés dans les

pouvait développer le rôle de la publicité, de la famille aussi. Le problème de l'argent
pouvait être évoqué. Vous pouviez également consacrer une partie à votre cas
particulier.
