Some historians have defined the historical period of the 1960s and 1970s as a watershed moment in US history because it represe

nts critical change. The emergence of movements for equality, a well-organized political activist youth culture, and a counterculture that rebelled against established norms in society are all factors that highlight this change. Is there a single person or event you think exemplifies the changing US society of the 1960s and 1970s? Explain your choice and why you chose it. Or, explain why you think no single person or event exemplifies this period. Then, name an event that you think illustrates the changing perceptions of authority within the United States in the 1960s and 1970s and explain your reasoning.

Answer:

There are many people who could exemplify the period, but a particularly important figure is Martin Luther King.

Martin Luther King is the central figurehead of the Civil Rights Movement, which was perhaps the most important social movement in American during this time. Martin Luther King was a great leader who gave a voice to the needs of African Americans, who had been subjected to all kinds of abuses from centuries before.

He gave a message of change, but always in peaceful manners. He was not a provocator, and openly called for tolerance between all people, regardless of the color of skin, or other attributes.

This is why he became such a central figure of this period.

How did the American Revolution affect England Culture?
Vinil7 [7]

Britain spent a huge amount of money fighting the Revolutionary War, increasing national debt hugely and creating a yearly interest of nearly ten million pounds. Taxes had to be raised as a result. The trade which Britain relied on for wealth was severely interrupted, with imports and exports experiencing large drops and the recession which followed caused stock and land prices to plummet. Trade was also affected by naval attacks from Britain’s enemies, and thousands of merchant ships were captured.

On the other hand, wartime industry such as the naval suppliers or the elements of the textile industry which made uniforms experienced a boost, and unemployment fell as Britain struggled to find enough men for the army, a situation which would cause them to hire German soldiers. British ‘privateers’ experienced as much success preying on enemy merchant ships as almost any of their opponents.

The effects on trade were also short term, as British trade with the new USA rose to the same levels as trade with them in colonial form by 1785, and by 1792 trade between Britain and Europe had doubled. Additionally, while Britain gained an even larger national debt, they were in a position to live with it and there were no financially motivated rebellions like those of France.

Indeed, Britain was able to support several armies during the Napoleonic wars (and even field its own instead of just paying for other peoples). It's been said that Britain was even right to lose the war because of the economic benefits.

Which type of government passes laws to protect the rights of its citizens?
AlekseyPX
I think the correct answer is the second option. The type of government that passes laws to protect the rights of the citizens would be pluralism. In this system, the diversity in the people in the government is being recognized and affirmed. All of the laws are aimed at protecting and keeping a harmonious coexistence of the differences.
