Campus employment establishment issue launch opportunity prospects protest

What are the most important issues for students today? Is the university campus really such a different place compared towhat it was 40 years ago? Perhaps, as the passage suggests, there are fewer protests by students against the establishmentthan there used to be. And of course, improving your prospects of being competitive in the employment market is a majorconcern for students everywhere, since a good university degree is the means by which you can launch your career. But inspite of all this, the role of the university is the same as it always has been. It is the place where you have the opportunity tolearn to think for yourself.Unit A2

Assert destruction era gender industrial philosophy rebel

A: What was it like being a student in the 1960s? Was everyone really trying to rebel against the establishment?

B: Perhaps not. Perhaps we were just trying to assert our identity in a world which was changing very rapidly. Looking backon the period now, it seems like a different era, even though it was only about 50 years ago. And I honestly believe that the1960s saw the most important social changes in our country since the Industrial Revolution at the beginning of the 19thcentury.

A: But how would you describe the experience? Was there a(n) \" philosophy of the 1960s\which we all believed in? How would you define the period?

B: I don't think an exact definition is possible. But a lot of important movements began. We became interested in things likeminority rights; and gender awareness, particularly with regard to the conditions of women in the workplace, led to a newphase in the women's liberation movement

A: What's your opinion of today's students? Are they just individuals who have their own problems, or do they have anidentity as an important part of the community?

B: A lot of people in my generation have a negative attitude to today's students. But they are worried about the big issues, justas we were. And the main problem that they are interested in is a truly global one: how to stop the destruction of theenvironment in which we live.Unit2 A2
