Paragraph summaries by Jákup Michaelsen https://padlet.com/engelsk/8sigcqkztgfw Brexit has its roots in the British Empire – so how do we explain it to the young? en-us 2018-08-19 09:22:38 UTC 2020-03-03 03:54:22 UTC hello@padlet.com 2 engelsk https://padlet.com/engelsk/8sigcqkztgfw/wish/273896935 The first part of our text is about how the so called “brexiters”, if they cannot get any specific trade agreements with the EU, they have two options remaining to them- either try and make trade agreements with the rest of the world, or try to recreate the trade agreements with the former colonies, the commonwealth, as it is called.

 The text is also about how very few of the young generation (except the very few who are educated in the subject) actually knows what the empire actually was.

The article finally states that it is yet unknown what will happen economically, if the British people vote “yes” at the referendum, but maybe, if it is instead “no”, it will be a definitive farewell to the glorified ideas of the Empire and the British false perception of being a top dog.]]> 2018-08-19 09:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/engelsk/8sigcqkztgfw/wish/273896936 5 engelsk https://padlet.com/engelsk/8sigcqkztgfw/wish/273896937 This part is about, how some people still puts themselves in the upperclass, and living in som kind of superiority.
