The Maagdenhuis building is part of the University of Amsterdam and is located in the city centre of Amsterdam. To be able to understand relevant background details of the different eras in time firstly it will be investigated how the social circumstances were in 1969 and in 2015. How was life in these two different times? A comparison will be drawn after investigating multiple societal factors; the stance towards authority, differences between generations, social class and inequality. Also other examples of students’ revolts and social changes will be studied to gain a broader view on what was happening in both these times in Europe. Eventually findings of each case will be compared and this will provide a deeper understanding of both Maagdenhuis occupations. The relevance of this research is that it gives better insights with regard to student protests in general, how it is affected by social circumstances of a certain era, which in return gives guidance on how to manage future students protests.Show less
