Unit 1- Age Of Imperialism Summary: In the late 1800s, European nations became involved in a new kind of empire building, imperialism, which arose from the need for self-sufficiency, new markets, and places in which an ever-growing population could settle. European nations divided up almost all of Africa in the late 1800s. Communication and transportation improved, and the slave trade was abolished. For the most part, Africa and Africans were exploited, and tensions developed that would lead to further struggles later in the 1900s. In India the British government assumed direct control.

Outline and Assess Functionalist Explanations of the Relationship Between Education and Work (50 Marks) A Functionalist view on education is that it is a meritocratic system that gives everyone who enters into it an equal opportunity for success within and after full time education. One of the main reasons for this is because of a national curriculum that all state schools have to follow, meaning that there is a minimum standard of education and that everyone gets taught the same things. Furthermore, Functionalists see education as a way of maintaining society by socialising young people in a specific way, by creating competition, levels of success and equality of opportunity. In addition to this socialisation, education is also important for teaching such vital skills as learning about the basics of the economy and giving young people a basic knowledge of certain things that will help them within employment, such as literacy, numeracy and IT. Education is also one of the main influences on role allocation within society; allocating people to the most appropriate jobs for their talent, using examinations and their results from these.

There would have been an emphasis on the establishment of a “truly public sector ” which would shift from government spending of a majority on the military to the improvement of the social welfare as a whole. This society would have been based off of caring for one another and “concentrating on genuine social priorities… for people to live in with dignity and creativeness” instead of competing in fear or apathetically submitting to the social norm of independence and compartmentalization. This ideal society was one based on peace as a means to end the war and included provisions of disarmament, restructured alliances and treaties between countries and ratified by the United Nations, and the development and capacity building of international nations, regardless if they were socialist or communist . The rights explicitly mentioned in the document included those found in the Bill of Rights such as “freedom of speech, assembly, thought, religion, and press” which would not be seen as threats but rather guarantees to a productive democratic system. Rights were also expanded to include equality in civil, social, medical, educational, property, and economic rights, and include the protection and resilience of the individual from the government and big business.
I believe it is vital for the government to provide for the people. I also believe in a contractual system in which the people give something in return to the safety guaranteed upon them. I think that jury duty is a very important duty for a citizen because it makes the individual feel that he or she has a responsibility and can benefit the community. If a person feels the importance of their role in society, then they are more willing to participate in that society and ensure its
