For example, a headline presents 'Britain shoots the goal' This clearly indicates how the people who were protesting outside off the stadium for civil rights which ended in suspension from Mexico. There for it is clear to see that the observer showed that it is normal to be racist because they have printed it out on the newspapers for the public to view which would help influences the publics opinions on racism.
Another thing that the observer reflected on was that Britain was more patriarchal in the 1960s. An example of this is on the front page there is a main image of a women in lingerie which indicated that women were used for there bodies and sex by men, this also shows that men over powered women. The observer shows how patriarchy was normal and how it was acceptable for women to be treated poorly by men.
In the 1960s the observers reflected on war and how society was unsure of what was happening and how unsafe they felt. For example when a headline says 'So polite, this North Sea spy game.' This reflects that the society in Britain was unsure on who they can trust because 'spy' suggests that they didn't know who they were able to trust because people were undercover. The paper also reflects on the imbiber fear between the society because of the russian aircraft was flying over where they weren't aloud. The observer shows how scared people were and how they felt unsafe in there home town because off the war.
