French term

DRT&ENJX.MDE CONTEMP

French to English Other Education / Pedagogy Secondary school reports
This is a subject in the French Bac. A google search shows that it is always set out as an abbreviation
My guess is "Contemporary world law and challenges"
Are there better ways to express this perhaps?
Any educationalists out there?

TIA

Discussion

ph-b (X) Mar 30, 2023:
"issues" doesn't sound too mild to FranceTerme (https://www.culture.fr/franceterme/terme/AFET156) or to R&C, which also considers "stake(s)".

In terms of school subjects, this is about describing world issues.

AllegroTrans's suggested "challenges" sounds like overtranslation to me: "issue" here is used to mean describing a problem (synonym) or a situation, whereas "challenge" appears to go one step further and sounds as if you're asked to offer a solution.
Conor McAuley Mar 30, 2023:
More serious than "enjeux" would be "problématiques" or similar.
Conor McAuley Mar 30, 2023:
"Law and Major Issues in the Contemporary World".

The "Major" is there alright, it's hiding in plain sight just after "Law".
Daryo Mar 30, 2023:
Just "issues" sounds too mild.

"grands enjeux" suggest s.t. far more dramatic so it should be at least "Major Issues".

A propos "stakes", the "stakes of politics" (les enjeux politiques) is not exactly some unknown expression invented by some chat bot.

RELEVANT samples aplenty: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=The Stakes of Politics
Conor McAuley Mar 29, 2023:
Law and Major Issues in the Contemporary World?

I see the word challenges as an Americanism for problems.

law and contemporary world issues

I think this is the most concise way of expressing it

From the discussion box, it looks like the word "grands" may have been omitted, so major.
Peer comment(s):

agree ph-b (X) : and with adding "major", but would you not use initial capitals for the name of a school subject?

Note from asker:
Thanks, but I do not think "stakes" is the right term
Peer comment(s):

disagree philgoddard : You can't translate "enjeux" as "stakes". And if you use a chatbot to write your answers, you should tell us.

I am reporting you to proz community for your nonsense allegations.
agree Daryo : Right reference // Maybe not the best for this ST, BUT even outside of literal gambling, you **could** translate "enjeux" as "stakes" see https://ludwig.guru/s/the stakes of the game https://mises.org/library/america-point-no-return etc

French term (edited): Droit et Enjeux du Monde Contemporain (DRT&ENJX.MDE CONTEMP)

Law and Global Challenges of the Modern World

"du Monde Contemporain" relates only to "enjeux", while "le droit" is left unspecified - in its most general meaning.


Visée de cet enseignement
L’enseignement de Droit et grands enjeux du monde contemporain vise à élargir les perspectives des élèves de terminale. L’objectif est de leur faire découvrir les instruments du droit – normes, institutions, métiers –, son rôle social, ainsi que la méthodologie du raisonnement juridique. En partant du droit positif et de la façon dont il contribue à structurer les grands enjeux politiques, économiques et sociaux contemporains, il s’agit d’aborder certains grands thèmes du monde contemporain, non en eux-mêmes, comme ils peuvent l'être dans d'autres matières, mais à travers la façon dont ils sont saisis par le droit.

[so it about the interaction between the two]
