AQA History Unit 2R Britain 1959-1975 A sixties social revolution?

If it's about consumerism and liberal society it'll be a GOD SEND. So nervous for this exam.

So people are guessing music and fashion will come up right? What sort of questions will they ask on them because there doesn't seem much content or material surrounding that topic. Also, is there any other ideas of what else will come up?
Thank you :smile:

I think if they were asking questions about music and fashion it would be about the new youth culture, possibly radicalisation of youth but probably not. May come under the liberal society I guess!

Well it's unpredictable but music could be a source or music could be on question 2/3 a for twelve marks like explain why there was a change in fashion in the 1960s?
then you would say youth culture, affluence, science and technology, changing moral attitudes of women...
or they could ask music as a 24 marker
Popular music was a main cultural change of the 1960s in Britain.
explain why you agree/disagree but yh there's not enough content but when put into question there is plenty.

And will Labour 64 - 70 // Ted Heath // Trade Unions // Immigration come up?

So yes agree youth protests were violent in Britain ie the battle of Grosvenor square march 1968 where 25,000 fought street battles with police and here were a handful of injuries use the (past exam question on students that's come up before) and the negative view on youth culture :smile:

argue not much violence eg. Brighton beach Whitsun 64 and aldermaston marches for CND were peaceful!!

One compulsory source question and then a choice from 2 non source questions.

Not prepared at all! I've made notes on section 3 (Changed in culture and society in 60s) of the book and section 4 (the government and modernisation of society, 1964-75)
Is that enough??!

You need to have a general knowledge of the whole book really.
