you shouldn't have asked that question I'll be here telling you about it for ages haha!
Its basically just foreign affairs and you learn about different countries and their foreign policies, the EU and UN and how they work and their laws etc. I'm particularly interested in the Middle East and thats a big part of the course I think. America and South America are also on it. And you can choose a language to study if you want as an elective module or something

Just watched that, don't believe anything this man says.. he's just completely guessing..
Where is he getting his prediction of 'theme of evil' for Macbeth? That q came up in like 2004 and there's so many themes/characters and other aspects that have never been examined..
His poetry prediction is a general consensus, but people shouldn't take these as gospel just because he's seems like a legitimate character (an 'exam analysis expert' even) and he's posting these videos.
Be sensible!0 -

This is a test of my memory...so here we go..
This is 5 paragraphs you can use for any essay on Race relations with a bit of rewording.
Race Relations:
Background/Social Conditions:
-After WW2 France was in need of cheap labour as many young men had died during World War 2
-French relaxed immigration laws in 1947
-In 1960 Borders opened to former French colonies of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia
-Formation of French Union and Community 1963
-Immigrants lived in shanty towns called Bidonvilles
-This did improve when they moved into high rise flats called Cites
-Recession strikes France in the 1970s
-Unemployment is up to 25% among North African immigrants
- Youth violence increases:
1981 - Rioting in Les Minuettes Cite after police search flat without warrant
1981 - 3 day rioting in Marseilles
1990 - Rioting in Parisian Cite after Thomas Claudio dies in motor cycle accident while being chased by police
Left Wing responses
1972 in government to 1986, with Mitterand as president.
Left wing government was pro immigrant as was their policies.
1972 - Anti Rascist laws introduced - Stopped people making speeches to incite racial hatred.
1977 - Repatriation assistance offered by Lionel Stoleru minister for education, this gave money to immigrants to move back to own country. Poorly subscribed as conditions were still better in the cites of France.
1983 - Vote rights extended to immigrants
Right Wing responses
Right wing came to power in 1986 due to failure of left wing to deal with problem of immigration
- RPR under Jaque Chiraq were not pro immigrant.
- Introduced a series of laws that restricted immigration, these were met with an increase in levels of asylum seekers
-Code of Nationality law - children has to wait to 18 before deciding if they were to become French citizens
-1989 - Headscarf affair - France's secular education - Jospan response
Rise of the National Front
-National Front were formed in the 1970s in France by Jean Marie Le Pen a former member of the French foreign legion
-National Front wanted to:
End immigration
Immigrants in France would embrace French culture
End involvement and influence of the EU in France
-The National front grew because of the disatisfaction of French people at how the government dealt with problem of immigration
-1984 - Jean Marie Le Pen becomes an MEP - a seat which he never lost
-1986 - National Front win 1/4 of the vote in Dreux
34 seats in National parliment(most popular)
Le Pen was always an outspoken politician and once claimed the Holocaust was a "detail"
1998 he claimed that France's football World Cup was a victory for the National Front even though the majority of the team were the children of immigrants
Anti Racist groups
Grew in response to growing racism in France and the rise of the National Front
- 1983 - Avenir Minuettes was set up to tackle youth violence, it was set up in response to the violence of the Les Minuettes rioting.
- Organised March of the Beurs in 1983 which was a mach from Lyon to Paris where 1000s of people walked to highlight racism in France, they took a petition to Mitterand for laws that would punish racists more severly
1984- Convergence '84 - Less sucessful followup to march of the Beurs
SOS Racisme set up by Harlem Desir
-Sold Anti - Racist badges
-Organised concerts promoting multiculturalism
-Organised youth events against Racism such as sport etc.
-1995 - Le Haine was a critically acclaimed film released at Cannes with Vincent Cassel (Oceans 12/13, Black Swan and Eastern Promises) brought youth violence and racism to the attention of the world.
