Pop Culture Primer 2007 : Arts, Politics, Sports, and Science and Technology

By: Stevens, Dakota

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Globalization, which had intensified in the post-Cold War 1990s, continued to influence the world in the 2000s. The September 11 attacks in 2001 ultimately led to the United States, United Kingdom and other nations controversially invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as implementing various anti-terrorist measures at home and abroad in what was known as the War on Terror. The European Union saw further integration and expansion throughout much of Europe. The economic growth of the 2000s, while responsible for lifting millions out of poverty, also had considerable environmental consequences, raised demand for diminishing energy resources, and was still shown to be vulnerable as demonstrated during the Global Financial Crisis of the late 2000s.

This book takes a look at the year 2007 in arts, politics, sports, and science and technology.
