Cb -- what does your text material say?
I would guess a -- but I don't have the statistics to prove it.
Here is a hint: AIDS has changed the landscape of some activities since the 1960's. Free love is left in the 1960s.
But honestly, "liberal" and "conservative" are silly words without much meaning, and I am surprised that your text is using them. Those words change meanings often. I read a new litmus test today in the NY times, that the Jr Senator from SCarolina is touting: Ronald Reagan didn't pass it, so was he liberal? Lord help us.
I agree "a", but your text has to be consulted, since logic in the definitions cannot be applied.
To answer this question, one option is to conduct research and compare the political views and ideologies of college students in the 1960s to those of present-day college students. A thorough analysis might consider surveys, polls, and studies conducted during both time periods.
Here are some steps you can follow to conduct this research:
1. Identify reliable sources: Look for sources that provide historical data on college students' political ideologies during the 1960s. Academic journals, research papers, and reputable news outlets are good places to start. Websites like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Gallup can also be helpful.
2. Collect data on college students in the 1960s: Look for surveys, polls, or studies that specifically focus on the political attitudes and beliefs of college students during the 1960s. Pay attention to sample size, methodology, and the specific questions asked.
3. Collect data on present-day college students: Look for recent surveys, polls, or studies that examine the political ideologies of college students today. Make sure the data you find is specific to college students and not a broader population.
4. Compare the data: Once you have collected the relevant data from both time periods, compare the political views of college students in the 1960s to those of present-day college students. Look for patterns, trends, and any significant differences or similarities.
5. Analyze the findings: Based on your analysis of the data, determine whether college students today are more liberal, more conservative, or about the same as college students in the 1960s. Consider the overall trends and any significant differences on specific issues.
6. Answer the question: Based on your research and analysis, select the most accurate option from the given choices (a, b, c, d, or e).
Please note that the answer itself would depend on the actual research and analysis conducted.
