The BBC
Just as the British Parliament has the reputation for being ‘the mother of parliaments’, so the BBC might be said to be ‘the mother of information services’. Its reputation for impartiality and objectivity in news reporting is, at least when compared to news broadcasting in many other countries, largely justified. In 1922 the BBC World Service was set up, with a licence to broadcast first to the empire and then to the other parts of the world. During the Second World War it became identified with the principles of democracy and free speech. It brought the news but also the commentaries and opinions and helped people to survive the horrible 6 years. Because the BBC had a good quality of broadcasting and the excellent reputation, people from the other countries used to listen to the BBC not only during the war, but also after the was in the 50’s. It became very popular. People from the countries behind iron curtain used to listen to the BBC broadcasting which represented true and verified information. At the end of the war the radio services were reorganized into three: the Light Programme, the Home Service Programme, and the Third Programme.
Conclusion
The Second World War has influenced society, economics and minds of people not in Britain but all around the world. The life after the war was completely different from the one before 1939. People were experienced from the first war but the second one was much more cruel and it has a bad impact on generations. The eyewitnesses still remember the terror and they are able to hand over the terrible experiences. The war has influenced all branches of human performing – literature, theatre, media, education, politics and social background not only in the 50’s and the 60’s.
The life is not only black and white. Every item hides also some positive traces even it seems to be impossible when we talk about such a terrible event like the Second World War. We can rank for instance completely changed life of women among the positive features.
The Brits are one of the rare nations who understand the needs of society and the seriousness of the situation and all the classes without exception can adapt to extreme conditions. They are able to cut down their expenses.
