9. Consider the impact of the Vietnam War on American culture. In the decades prior to the 1980s‚ two issues beset American culture: civil rights and the Vietnam War. Both were televised directly into living rooms on all three channels. On college campuses throughout the world‚ but especially on American campuses‚ antiwar protests were routine.

To what extent do you consider that the First World War was a key turning point in the development of modern Russia in the years 1856-1964? In 1964 Russia was seen as a leading superpower which dominated Eastern Europe. However this is a vastly different image than the inherently backward country that Russia was deemed to be one hundred years earlier.

There has been a significant decline since the post war consensus in the influence of social factors such as class and partisanship on voting behaviour. Class lines have become blurred from increased affluence‚ improved education and changes in the Labour market such as the formation of a ‘new working class’; resulting in the centralisation of the main political parties to become ‘catch-all’ parties‚ adapting their policies for short-term gain and effectively putting an end to the relevance of party
