Challenge and Change-
The Civil Rights movement
You will focus on the ways in which traditional ideas, values and political systems were challenged and changed by individuals and groups in a range of contexts during the period 1945 to 2000. You will explore the causes of significant political and social events and movements, and their consequences for nations and people.
While the Cold War dominated the second half of the twentieth century, political and social challenge and change occurred within and between nations based on religion, nationalism, race, gender and human rights.
Developments in mass communication including the internet and satellite television meant that many of the political and social movements transcended national boundaries and were exposed to a global audience. Independence movements led to the emergence of new nations.
Traditional attitudes to race, war, gender, sexuality, religion, the environment and human rights were questioned.
