2. Assess the claim that ‘authentic democracy is not compatible with representation’, particularly for under-represented, marginalised groups. To what extent do you think Young succeeds in overcoming this problem in her discussion of representation and social perspective?
3. Define ‘culture wars’, OR ‘history wars’ OR ‘identity politics’ and examine one case study or more to illustrate how such debates figure in negotiating particular constructions of Australian National Identity.

4. Using one case study or more, assess how the ‘culture wars’ or ‘identity politics’ have been debated around controversial artworks, which have been censored or threatened censorship on the grounds of obscenity, blasphemy, sexual explicitness, political contentiousness or propaganda.
5. Using one case study or more, explore relations between art, protest and the ideal of democracy. To what extent do you think art is a powerful means for inciting social change?
