libertarianism : a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens. the idea that everybody is free, no rules and laws.
authoritarianism : the enforcement or advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.
hedonism : the pursuit of pleasure; sensual self-indulgence and avoiding pain. A hedonistic person is committed to seeking sensual pleasure — the type of guy you might find in a massage parlour or at an all-you-can-eat buffet. pleasure is something that provides you with happy emotions, and pain is something that provides you with sad emotions.

1960s permissive society
It is widely believed that a revolution in British social attitudes and behaviour took place during the Sixties, making Britain a secular ‘permissive society’. In popular accounts, this sea-change amounted to the discovery of ‘sex, drugs n rock n roll’ by the young. Unlike a political revolution, there was no single event that marked the beginning of changes that many contemporaries felt climaxed in the ‘Summer of Love’ of 1967, although others pointed to the trial of Penguin Books for publishing the novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover in 1960. A topic of roiling historical controversy since the decade ended, this module asks what changed in Sixties Britain and why it did so before considering the consequences and legacies of the period.

statement of intent
For my media regulations poster, I am going to be focusing on the topic of feminism and female rights. I will be highlighting the actual definition of feminism which is the belief of equal rights and opportunities between men and women. This is a very controversial belief as there is a massive stereotypical view behind the idea of feminism. Feminism is usually perceived as the belief that women should be superior to men, and this is typically what a man thinks feminism means. In my campaign I want to highlight that feminism means equality of the genders but also that women should be respected more.
