YOUTHFYOUTHFULUL

BRITAIBRITAINN

Like many Europeancountries, Britain also

became dependant on theUnited States. Britain was

able to recover quickly withthe help of US Marshall Aid

Programme.

All citizens of Britain got equal rights. For everyone there were enough work. Wages were increased.

Working hours were regulated.

People had free time to enjoy themselves. At weekends many went to watch football matches. In the evenings they could go to cinema. They began to go for holidays. The car manufacturing was twice.

Everyone had a car, even poor people had. It seemed as if the sun shone on Britain. As one Prime Minister said, "You've never had it so good." a remark that became famous.

This age was named after "youthful age". Because many youth had money in their pocket. Because

of this, youth began to influence fashion, particularly in clothing and music. Beatles, whose

music quickly became internationally known is pivot of this age. Beatles were working-class boys from Liverpool. They were real representatives of

a popular culture.

Youthful had a suspicious over the authority and culture which had been brought up. They rebelled against the

sexual rules of Christian society. Without getting married, some people began to live together. Their numbers

grew discernibly. Improvements in birth control made this more open

sexual behavior possible.

Divorce rose up, and by 1975 one

marriage in three ended in divorce: the highest rate in

Europe. Older people called new youth culture the

"permissive society." Perhaps

the clearest symbol of this age was the

mini skirt, a far shorter skirt than

had ever been worn before.

There was a limit in this society. Two cabinet ministers, one 1963, the other in 1983, had to leave the government because of their sexual relationships outside marriage. Public disapproval

was important for this age.

A Popular Monarchy

• Popular monarchy is a system of monarchical governance in which the

monarch's title is linked with a popular mandate rather than a constitutional state.• It was the norm in some places (such as

Scotland) from the Middle Ages, and was occasionally used in 19th- and 20th-

century Europe, often reflecting the results of a populist revolution.

* The monarchy used to be far more popular in the past. During the first half of the 20th century, the Royal Family enjoyed a status similar to today's celebrities and film stars.

* Since then British society has undergone a number of successive transformations and the Royal Family's popularity has largely eroded away.

During the twentieth century the monarchy became more popular than ever before.

* On Christmas Day, 1932, George V used the new BBC radio service to speak to all peoples of the Commonwealth and the empire.

* His broadcast was enormously popular, and began a tradition.

• In 1935 George V celebrated his Silver Jubilee.

* To his own great surprise, George V had become a people’s king.

* In 1936 the monarchy

experienced a serious

crisis when Edward VIII

gave up the throne

in order to marry a divorced woman.

* Divorce was still strongly disapproved of that time and it caused much discussion.

* During the Second World War George VI, Edward’s brother, became loved for his visits to the bombed areas of Britain.

* In 1952, when Elizabeth II became queen, the monarchy has steadily increased in popularity.
