QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

1. What economic and political forces threatened British liberalism in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth century? How did liberalism change in this period?

2. How did the development of German social democracy differ from the rise of French anarcho-syndicalism? Why did workers embrace such different radical ideals in the two nations?

3. How was Zionism related to other European forms of nationalism? How was it different? Did nationalism strengthen or weaken the status of Jews in Europe?

4. Did feminists and “new women” share a similar vision of womanhood between 1880 and 1914? How do their goals and methods compare?

5. Is Sigmund Freud, Thorstein Veblen, or Emile Durkheim more representative of his age? To what degree are their ideas "modern"?

6. How did scientific breakthroughs and new approaches to the “scientific” study of society contribute to the development of a “new consciousness” in Europe?
