Looking back

Economic growth in the USA

1. was stimulated by the USA's participation in WWII
2. was stimulated by the use of cars
3. was slowed by the baby boom
4. was slowed down by the disarray of public transportation

What is correct?

1. Due to the economic growth in America, European culture was Americanised from the 1950s onwards
2. From 1945 onwards, Europeans began to buy cars, televisions and other modern consumer goods en masse.
3. Europe became familiar with the American way of life mainly through the movies. But with the introduction of TV, fewer and fewer people went to the movies in Europe.
4. Youth culture is a distinct culture with its own taste, its own norms and values, which distinguishes itself in both clothing and music.

The ethnic diversity in the US was a consequence of the varied heritage of population groups.

Own laws and rules meant there was segragation in substates, cities and organisations, wich separated black people from white people.

From the 1950s onwards, mass protests took place where people demanded equal civil rights.

The discriminating laws and rules lost their legitimacy when the federal government adopted the

Civil Rights Act in 1964.

DEEPENING: the EU

subject skills: take a stand
You are going to form an opinion, based on facts, about the EU.
Is the EU worthwhile or should the EU end?

00:05

Europese Union

EU is worthwhile

end the EU

00:55

Has European cooperation
achieved the goal of 'no more war
in Europe'?

1. Yes
2. No
3. Partly

De oorlogen in voormalig Joegoslavië zijn gevoerd in een gebied dat niet deelneemt aan de Europese samenwerking binnen de (voorlopers van de) EU.

00:55

What is the most important reason why Europeans started working together?

01:32

What was the purpose of the ECSC ?

1. Reducing weapons in Europe
2. Control of arms industry
3. Formation of a European army
4. Economic cooperation

03:29

How many walls have been built on or near EU borders to stop 'unwanted flows' of people?

1. 1 to 3 walls
2. 3 to 5 walls
3. 5 to 8 walls
4. more than 10 walls

03:29

Why is the EU also called
'Fortress Europe'?

1. Because it resembles a castle
2. Because borders are guarded more and more closely
3. Because nobody is allowed into Europe
4. Because it resembles a prison

03:29

04:41

A European army?
What is your POV?

1. We have an excellent national army. In cooperation with NATO, we can deal with anything. An EU army is redundant. What if there is a war within the EU?
2. An EU army is cheaper. Together you will have a more united front against powerful opponents such as Russia.
3. Our army now also conducts joint exercises with other European armies. The national army is small, yet in wartime we can ask other European countries and the US for help.
4. Our army now also conducts joint exercises with other European armies. An official EU army is a logical next step, but then every country has to contribute and deliver.

05:56

What do you consider to be the key advantage of the euro as a means of payment?

06:21

Not all euro countries have equally strong economies. What do you think should happen?

1. All countries participating in the euro must stick to the same agreements. That is more beneficial for the whole of Europe.
2. Weak economies must be expelled from the euro, otherwise strong economies will be weakened.

07:38

Is the EU worthwhile?

Come up with a multiple-choice question (including 4 answers) based
