Studying society in France

摘要

SIR - It is hardly surprising that the head of the main employers' federation in France and the Institute of Fiscal and Economic Research (iref) would criticise an exam paper in sociology where students had to "demonstrate that social conflict can be a factor behind social cohesion" ("Class struggle", July 6th). But I thought your newspaper supported the idea that struggles against apartheid in South Africa, for civil rights in America and for gay and lesbian rights everywhere have made strides towards social justice.
