During Tudor England, religious identity was extremely important, and therefore religious ‘revolution’ was obviously going to affect the people and the country significantly. To assess this statement each monarch, ‘revolution’ and its affect on England must be discussed. Edward VI came to power in 1547 at the age of just nine, and he was assigned a ‘protectorate’ and in the first half of his reign this was his Uncle, the Duke of Somerset. Somerset did himself appear to be Protestant, welcoming religious radicals such as John Hooper and Thomas Becon into his household. He also made a start on reforming religion; in July 1547 he introduced the Book of Homilies and paraphrases, a religious document that had to be placed in every Church.
Analysis on The Port Huron Statement INTRODUCTION The Port Huron Statement is the manifesto of the American student movement Activist, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in 1962. It expanded rapidly in the sixtieth and their radical views influenced the development and social life formation in the country of the time.

The Grapes of Wrath has been publicly accepted as a reflection of society in that time period. It includes many interactions between the two main groups at the moment, the older group, known as the Lost Generation and the GIs. One of the most heated debates among historians and sociologists has been whether or not the Greatest Generation was as noble and ethical as it has come to be known. Members of that generation are those born after 1902 all the way to those who were old enough to fight in World War II. Several authors have expressed their opposing viewpoints in their book chapters and essays.

As we are introduced to new people we automatically try to assign a race to that individual (Kurzban, Tooby & Cosmides, 2001). Whether applying for passport, a job or a drivers licence we are forced to categorise and assign ourselves to a particular race. When we read a paper or watch the news we are regularly bombarded by race related stories.
