Document Summary
Education as the undermining force of state sovereignty. Notably, before the 1960s, majority of the global population were uneducated. The access to education, regardless of the demographic region, was primarily limited to the privileged i. e. the aristocrats and the royal families. Nonetheless, beginning the period in 1960s, there was an upward trend for the attendance to universities with the united states leading the progress of mass education (three students). Accompanying the trend was the proliferation of social movements mostly organized by students to voice out their opinions. Hence, in this reading response, i will argue that education was the primary force that eroded the state sovereignty in the second half of the twentieth century. Rudolf dutschke, a student protester will be an exemplar of a student protester that led the student protest movement in the 1960s. The major factor at play that led towards this progress is arguably the form of education received by dutschke.
