Edexcel History A Level option 1F In search of the American dream

that paper was actually so good! even for the minority rights you could have referenced black Americans too, since they were a minority! also, the Reagan question was a godsend, literally had so much to discuss about

that paper was relatively easy- but even more minority rights, you could have mentioned black civil rights alongside Hispanic, native or gay right

for the minority rights q i talked about black civil rights, native american rights, hispanic rights and gay rights ? hopefully that’s fine becauee african americans we’re a minority sooooo

yep same I talked about all of those, at start I did hesitate when I was writing about African Americans but I asked my teacher if it's valid he said yes, so it's fine

hey we recently did the 2022 paper for our mocks
the questions were:
1. how accurate is it to say that in the years 1960-80, the campaigns for minority rights had limited success?
2. how accurate is it to say that in the years 1917-80, anti- communism was the most significant influence on the political landscape

3. how accurate is it to say that in the years 1917-80, government policies were the main force behind growing affluence?
4. how far do you agree that the position of women changed considerably during the 1917-80?

5.in light of differing interpretations, how convincing do you find the view that the Reagan presidency shaped America for the better?\

is there any chance you know any predicted topics for this year?

Hey! In terms of 2023, my teachers have speculated popular culture 50 onwards, maybe something on economic influences & changing presidency as they haven’t come up in a few years if my memory is correct!

someone on another feed posted a list of the predicted topics as well and they are :
Chapter 1: decline in confidence
Chapter 2: CRM leaders/ how CRM affected other movements
Chapter 3: Role of media and TV
Chapter 4: Poverty
Reagan: social/economics

Does anyone have any popular culture essays that their teachers have formulated because it has only come up once so I am not sure how to plan essays for it

How could the chapter 3 question be phrased in regard to the role of media and TV?
