17th & 18th century

19th century 20th century

- In France, during the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th under the reign of King Louis XIV, the nobles wore coats, wigs and Ladies wore corsets.- At the end of the 18th century, with the French revolution, men wore pants and women abandoned the - corset for more formal clothing. During the first half of the 20th century, clothing became more sober, after the 2nd World War, we found more relaxed clothes with the appearance of the skirt for the woman, in the 1970s, the Jeans were one of the clothes marking Globalization in France, and today we see the same clothing in France and in the majority of other countries.

Evolution of French EducationTeaching has long been reserved for a certain elite.

Education has experienced a democratization. The history of French education is therefore marked by economics and socials considerations, but also debates on freedom education and secularism.

Middle Ages :

Charlemagne is popularly regarded as the man who invented school. Lessons are structured around seven liberal arts. Emergence of universities in the 13th century : deepening knowledge of Greek authors.

The Ancien Régime :

The modern age develops small schools, to give basic education to children( reading, writing, counting). They are under the independence of bishops and local communities. Before the revolution the first specialized higher education establishments are created .

The French Revolution :

At the beginning of the revolution,education is not as a priority issue and teaching from the Ancien Régime continuse. Education becomes secular and free. Universities are stopped in 1793 and replaced from 1794 by vocational schools (law, medicine).

From Napoléon to Jules Ferry :

The first high schools were founded in 1802. Different levels of education are universities, high schools, secondary schools, private schools, boarding schools, and primary schools. Medical and law schools take again the name of faculty, and colleges for littérature and science appear

The Era Ferry :

Ferry laws decide that education is compulsory for children aged 6 to 13. Suppression of religious education in public schools.

From the Libération to May 1968 :

In 1959, school is compulsory up to 16. Secondary schools become secondary schools of general education, In private schools, religious education becomes an option.

I/ French youth in the past in 1950-1960

At that time young people in France were only 13% of the population, which is slightly higher than in the rest of Western Europe.The world emerges from the Second World War, it hadfaced the first atomic bomb and the "cold war" between East and West and now the real risk was to destroy the Earth …Rock and Roll was born in the 1950sIt is primarily a way of life and people thought that this music wanted to contribute to change.These young people shared a common culture that came from the United States and England. In the 1960s, they looked to the USA which was then the center of youth fashion, the temple of pop culture. They found a way to assert their tastes.Adoslescents abandoned the increasing living room to live in their family room. They spent a lot of time to prepare their homework, including reading. The phonograph plays an essential role to play their favorite records. And most importantly, they listened to the radio on their cell transistor.

They danced rock, twist, the madison. The slows, more tender, were also popular because they resembled girls and boys. They were also found in the film, one of their favorite hobbies. These outputs were allowed but very controlled by their parents, and parents were very active because they remain responsible for their children until their majority (set at 21 yearsold) ...! At the time, the Mass was obligatory on Sundays and nightlife prohibited Young people could go to the ball on Sunday.

Marriages were Precose (about 18). The girls were still ready to be mothers.At school, discipline was also very severe. Students stood up to greet their teacher.

The apron was mandatory, no pants for girls. The majority of colleges and high schools were not mixed, boys and girls did not study together.

II/ French youth nowadays in 2013

Nowadays the activities and attitudes of young people have changed.In France, a teenager spends his or her free time to many activities:Sport is important, 35.37% of 15 to 18 regularly practice a sport, the time spent on sport is about 1 to 2 hours for a week.The youth of today are much freer than before and less controlled by their parents, this is why most of us go out in the evenings and nightclubs (69.47%).With new technology young people spend a lot of time on the Internet and video games and television: things that were not common before.
