The person that exemplifies it can be Martin Luther King.

He was the leader of the civil rights movement and was a huge figure in everyday American life before his assassination. He exemplified it because the period was a time of change and he wanted for things to change in order to help the African-American population which was suffering at the time because they had been denied their rights.

The event can be the Watergate scandal

In the 70s, it was proven that President Nixon was spying on his political opponents using government resources, which resulted in people starting to look down on the government authority even more and believe that the government was working against them. This led to a huge change in perception of government authority and the government was no longer perceived as someone who is willing to do good for the people.

Anarel [89]

Answer;

-Final solution

At the Wannsee Conference in 1942, the Nazis made plans for the final solution

Explanation;

-On January 20, 1942, fifteen high-ranking Nazi Party and German government leaders gathered for an important meeting. They met in a wealthy section of Berlin at a villa by a lake known as Wannsee.

-The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the "final solution to the Jewish question in Europe" with key non-SS government leaders, including the secretaries of the Foreign Ministry and Justice, whose cooperation was needed.

-The "final solution" was the Nazis' code name for the deliberate, carefully planned destruction, or genocide, of all European Jews. The Nazis used the vague term "final solution" to hide their policy of mass murder from the rest of the world. In fact, the men at Wannsee talked about methods of killing, about liquidation, about extermination.
