An ideal response will:

2. Highlight one example of a policy supporting equality of opportunity, such as desegregation, and one example of a policy supporting equality of results, such as progressive income taxes.
3. Explain how and why conservative and liberal ideologies would either support or oppose each example.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Explain that the collapse of communism symbolized a movement toward free markets and democracy throughout the world.
2. Discuss how the end of history refers to a new world order that is not determined by the ideological struggles among democracy, fascism, and communism.
