The UK, social class, and empire (Exam)
I forløbet The UK, social class, and empire har vi beskæftiget os med ”The United Kingdom”, ”The Nations that comprise the United Kingdom”, “The political institutions and parties of the United Kingdom”, “Traits of British Identity”, “the British empire”, “imperialism”, “colonization” og “racism”. Vi har med andre ord undersøgt, hvilke lande UK består af, hvilke kulturelle forskelle der er imellem landene England, Skotland, Wales og Irland, hvordan det politiske system fungerer, de tydelige sociale klasser i England og, hvad imperialisme er og hvordan England blev et imperium.
