How far do you agree with the opinion that the Boer war acted as a spur to much needed reform in Britain? The Boer war acted as a catalyst to reform in many ways. It had considerable impact politically and socially. Many changes were put in place‚ from improving the army to public health care. Initially what acted as a spur was the amount of deaths and the cost of the war‚ 22‚000 were killed costing £200 million therefore this led to a wake up call for the Army. However one may argue that it was

From studying Romanesque art and architecture we can see that there are many points for and against the statement ‘in the Romanesque church the interior decoration was more important than the architecture’. There are many surviving Romanesque churches throughout Europe which we can look to when discussing topics like this particular one.

How far do you agree with Nick’s view that Gatsby is “worth the whole damn bunch put together”?

With regard to the context of family‚ I feel that although there has been an increase in the role of women these days‚ men still play an equally important part in the family. Since prehistoric times‚ men have always been
