And if by despair one means as the Christians do – any attitude of unbelief, the despair of the existentialists is something different. Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed that would make no difference from its point of view. Not that we believe God does exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence; what man needs is to find himself again and to understand that nothing can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of God.”—Jean-Paul Sartre, “Existentialism Is a Humanism,” lecture, 194622.1.Sartre’s beliefs are somewhat similar to all of the following exceptA.Auguste Comte.B.Simone de Beauvoir.C.S?ren Kierkegaard.D.Friedrich Nietzsche.Correct Answer: AAP Key Concept: 4.3 I.BHistorical Thinking Skill: ComparisonTopic: Transformations in Knowledge and CultureChapter 22: Social, Cultural, and Economic Challenges in the West through the Present22.2.Because of his beliefs, Sartre would disagree with all of the following exceptA.Catholic doctrine of papal infallibility.B.Freud’s beliefs on the id, ego, and superego.C.Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.D.René Descartes’ statement, “I think; therefore, I am.”Correct Answer: CAP Key Concept: 4.3 I.BHistorical Thinking Skill: ComparisonTopic: Transformations in Knowledge and CultureChapter 22: Social, Cultural, and Economic Challenges in the West through the Present22.3.Sartre’s statement can best be understood in looking at it as a reflection of A.the anticipation of post-war economic growth and focus on financial gain.B.the general feeling of meaninglessness after the devastation of World War II.C.Europeans’ focus on traditional academic philosophies in explaining the violence and chaos in life.D.a growing desire to return to tenets of medieval Europe as a guiding philosophy in understanding death.Correct Answer: BAP Key Concept: 4.3 I.BHistorical Thinking Skill: Historical CausationTopic: Transformations in Knowledge and CultureChapter 22: Social, Cultural, and Economic Challenges in the West through the PresentQuestions 45-47 refer to the map below depicting Cold War alliances and conflicts.Map of Cold War alliances and conflicts45.

In my opinion, if it were not for these policies, Soviet Communism would today be in the substantial control of Europe and this would post the greatest threat to our own national security in the lifetime of the republic.’ ”Greg Behrman, The Most Noble Adventure: The Marshall Plan and the Time When America Helped Save Europe, 2007Based on the above passage, the U.S. and Western Europe attempted to utilize the Marshall Plan against the Communist threat by which of the following?A policy of appeasement that was patient and firmA buildup of armaments in anticipation of warA policy aimed at containing the spread of CommunismA series of economic and political sanctions36.

First, the defeat of Germany and Japan and the decline of the British and French Empires have interacted with the development of the United States and the Soviet Union in such a way that power has increasingly gravitated to these two centers. Second, the Soviet Union…is animated by a new fanatic faith…and seeks to impose its absolute authority over the rest of the world….As for the policy of ‘containment,’ it is one which seeks by all means short of war to (1) block further expansion of Soviet power, (2) expose the falsities of Soviet pretensions, (3) induce a retraction of the Kremlin's control and influence….In summary, we must, by means of a rapid and sustained build-up of the political, economic, and military strength of the free world…confront [the Soviet Union] with convincing evidence of the determination and ability of the free world to frustrate the Kremlin….”United States National Security Council, Paper Number 68, 1950The National Security Council’s excerpt above most strongly suggests which of the following?a.The Cold War played out on a global stage and involved propaganda campaigns, covert actions, and an arms race. b.Despite efforts to maintain international cooperation after World War II, deep-seated tensions between the USSR and the West led to the division of Europe.c.Countries in the Soviet bloc followed an economic model based on central planning and specialized production among bloc members.d.In 1956, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was compelled to enact a policy of de-Stalinization to ease Cold War tensions.Based on its concluding paragraph, the National Security Council advocates an American policy that is consistent with the advent of which of the following?a.the Marshall Planb.the North Atlantic Treaty Organizationc.the Council for Mutual Economic Assistanced.the United NationsThe following 4 questions refer to the excerpt below.“Perestroika is an urgent necessity arising from the profound processes of developing in our socialist society.

The great feeling of solidarity with each other that was forged during the heroic times of the Revolution [1917], the first five-year plans, the Great Patriotic War [World War II]…was weakening. Alcoholism, drug addiction and crime were growing….There are people in the West who would like to tell us that socialism is in deep crisis and has brought our society to a dead end. We have only one way out, they say: to drift toward capitalism.[We] are looking within socialism, rather than outside it….”Mikhail Gorbachev, Perestroika: A Soviet Leader Calls for Change, 1987.The economic organization of the nation described in this excerpt was most impacted bya.Lenin’s compromise with free-market principles under the New Economic Policy.b.Stalin’s centralized program of economic modernization.c.the Bolshevik Revolution.d.the expansion of cradle-to-grave social welfare programs.How could one best characterize the relationship between the USSR and the West in the twentieth century as expressed in this document?a.The Cold War involved propaganda campaigns in which the United States advocated for its model of capitalist democracy as a solution to economic crises.b.The Bolshevik takeover of Russia prompted a civil war, in which the Bolsheviks’ opponents were aided by foreign powers.c.The United States exerted a strong military, political, and economic influence in Western Europe, leading to geopolitical alliances such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.d.The USSR and Western countries’ militaries both opposed Fascism and their political representatives collaborated at the United Nations.Gorbachev’s economic objective could be best characterized asa.the pursuit of Khrushchev’s de-Stalinization policies.b.internal reforms designed to make the Soviet system more flexible.c.a strategy designed to purge political rivals. d.economic domination of satellites’ economies via COMECON.The reforms promoted by the excerpt above resulted in a.the establishment of capitalist economies throughout Eastern Europe.b.the establishment of economies based on central planning, extensive social welfare, and specialized production among members of the Soviet Bloc. c.a period of growth in Western and Central Europe, often referred to as an economic miracle.d.authoritarian dictatorships that took power in Central and Eastern Europe.

The main line of thought was summed up in a thesis that today should resonate more often in the public discourse of the Church: “It must be truthfully asserted that the Catholic religion and human life are connected in a friendly alliance and that both strive for the human good. For the Catholic Church exists for the human race; it is as it were the life of the human race.”Anthony Ciorra, Vatican II: A Universal Call to Holiness, 2012In the above passage, Anthony Ciorra presents an interpretation of Christianity in the 20th century based on which of the following?A Christianity divided against itself by theological differencesChristianity as a fading institution in danger of becoming irrelevantA Christianity historically separated along traditional geographic linesA Christianity finding common grounds in its struggle against secularism Based on the evidence in the above passage, the main goal of Vatican II was to encourage unity and dialogue between all faithsto reaffirm Catholic dogma and beliefsto warn against the evils of materialism in the modern worldto reinforce the Catholic monopoly on religious truthsReligious tensions in 20th century Europe led most directly to which of the following movements?ModernismFundamentalismEvangelicalismSecularismQuestions 28-30 refer to the passage below.“Concerns about the birth-rate had long exercised public officials; with increased use of contraceptives across the social spectrum helping to lower the birth-rate to the levels of the hard-bitten 1930s, government agencies placed great stress on family life with an eye toward encouraging women to bear more children. Indeed, the welfare state as envisaged by William Beveridge, himself an eager imperialist, had been designed to “ensur[e] the adequate continuance of the British Race and of the British Ideal in the world,” and family allowances gained acceptance from as many quarters as it did because it was sold as an inducement to more childbearing. Stimulated by many diverse concerns, not least of them a fear about what effects separation from their mothers might have had on children evacuated during the war, a pro-natalist discourse emerged in the 1940s, urging women to recognize and act upon their maternal functions – to have babies – and counseling them on the dangers of going out to work and leaving young children in the care of others.”Historian Susan Kingsley Kent on the changing gender roles for women and the impact of the welfare state in post-World War II Britain from Gender and Power in Britain, 1640-1990, 1999The concerns regarding birth rates and motherhood described in the above passage were most directly a result ofdeclining moral values in European societyincrease in women’s roles within the public sphere during wartimethe declining number of women entering into marriagethe decimation of the male population during world warsIn the passage above, Kingsley Kent argues that the British government created policies to encourage childbearing? Which of the following policies enacted by the British government would support that argument?Limiting public access to contraception and abortionReducing women’s roles in the workforceSocial programs designed to stimulate women’s maternal instinctsEconomic incentives and dependency upon a welfare stateOne direct long-term effect of the trends described in the above passage was that women returned to more traditional gender roles.women became less politically active.women sought more economic opportunities outside the home.women in large numbers turned to militant feminism.Questions 7.1–7.3 refer to the following excerpt.“2 –…Regroupment in regions is in no way a partition of our country, neither is it an administrative division.

The regions in Yugoslavia—Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo—were technically separate republics within Yugoslavia.Josif Tito used cult of personality to hold Yugoslavia together, while remaining free of Soviet control. When he died in 1980, without his personal control Yugoslavia gradually fell apart through civil war into its nationalistic regions.Slobodan Milosevic came to power and increased the tension by siding with Serbs, no matter what region they lived in.Ethnic violence erupted as Serbs and those against Serb control fought for a return to a unified Yugoslav government. This tension was especially strong between the Serbs and Croats.The U.S. and Western Europe generally sided with the anti-Serb peoples, as they struggled to become and remain independent.In 1992, when the Serbs and Croats tried to divide Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sarajevo (the capital of Bosnia) was caught in the middle of the Serbian “ethnic cleansing.”AP Key Concept: 4.2 V.DHistorical Thinking Skill: Historical CausationTopic: The Collapse of Yugoslavia and Civil WarChapter 21: The Cold War Era, Decolonization, and the Emergence of a New EuropePart B) Religious differences in the regionA general discussion of these issues would deserve credit:Croats and Slovenes are Roman CatholicSerbs, Montenegrins, and Macedonians are Eastern OrthodoxBosnians and Albanians are mostly MuslimsAP Key Concept: 4.2 V.DHistorical Thinking Skill: ContextualizationTopic: The Collapse of Yugoslavia and Civil WarChapter 21: The Cold War Era, Decolonization, and the Emergence of a New EuropePart C) United States involvement in the regionA general discussion of these issues would deserve credit:The U.S. had very little direct, singular involvement in the conflicts around Sarajevo.It supported actions taken by the United Nations and NATO, including negotiations and airstrikes.However, the U.S. later hosted the peace negotiations in Dayton, Ohio, recognizing Bosnia as independent.The U.S., as a part of NATO forces, has worked to maintain peace in the region, including the supporting the independence and recognition of Kosovo.AP Key Concept: 4.2 V.DHistorical Thinking Skill: ContextualizationTopic: The Collapse of Yugoslavia and Civil WarChapter 21: The Cold War Era, Decolonization, and the Emergence of a New Europe4.47.
