Here is part of one.

Social Change : The Growth in Choice and Opportunity during the Last

Fifty Years

Introduction

The extent of change in the post Second World War society is a topic of

constant and animated debate , not just in the UK but all over the world .

Shifts in social , economic , and political structures are occurring with

dramatic rapidity , altering and impacting knowledge bases , individual

and collective competencies , earning powers , political actions ,

community structures , social identities , hierarchies , and relationships ,

as well as family and working life . Every possible area of human

existence is being impacted as never before . Today 's youth , born in the

last two decades , find it difficult , if not practically impossible to

relate to the society of the fifties and sixties .

Sociologists and social scientists , analysing the content and quality of

change , find them to be mixed in nature , with enhancement and

empowerment of individuals going hand in hand with breakdowns and

alterations in social and cultural patterns , increase in mental

problems , and restructuring of family relationships . Even as the pace of

change sucks humanity into its vortex forcing them to adapt in order to

survive , it also provides choices and opportunities to people ,

individually and collectively , to enhance and improve their mental

competencies , physical health , political strength , social standing and

economic status . This assignment attempts to investigate and analyse the

differences between the opportunities available to men and women today

for self improvement and those available in the fifties , and thereby

assess the impact of change on social wellbeing .
