Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics - Politics, Political Education, grade: 1.7, University of Passau, language: English, abstract: Since industrialization, technological, scientific and cultural changes have been taking place in the Western world at breakneck speed. This development has had a very strong impact on the subjective worldview of the citizens of the Western world. In the 1960s, post-industrial nations experienced a real breakout from traditional values and behavior patterns (e.g., "hippie movement," "68ers," "no-war movement," demonstrations for greater equality...). These changes in the subjective measurement of values have continued, albeit not in such a radical form, and are often referred to as "value change."
