What drives what's going on right now in Europe and obviously it could be the economic recession or it could be patterns of immigration. We think what's driving it is really long term change, which is generational educational. The transmissions in our values, which have been happening with. And this goes right back to Ron Inglehart's earliest work, which he wrote in 1977 on the Silent Revolution. He said that new values are emerging values which are very socially tolerant. Nor it. And of sexual diversity, which are pro environmentalists which are pro cosmopolitanism, being part of an international community. Not. Part of your. Which are very secular as religious. Those values he called the silent revolution. Everybody has probably read about them in any sociology or cultural stuff. The new aspect is the backlush against those. And why does it come about?

Printed "painted", the speaker says "patterns"

Explanation: The speaker says "could be patterns of immigration", not "painted". Both words start with p, so listen to the ending of the word.

Printed "transactions", the speaker says "transmissions"

Explanation: Listen for "the transmissions in our values". The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "vibes", the speaker says "values"

Explanation: You will hear "new values are emerging values". Both words start with v, so wait for the full word before you click.

Printed "similarly", the speaker says "socially"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "very socially tolerant". Both start with s, so listen for the middle of the word.

Printed "backing", the speaker says "backlush"

Explanation: Listen again to "the backlush against those". They start the same with b, but the word endings are different, so hear the last part.

Printed "cured", the speaker says "turned"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "used to be turned". They start with different letters, and both end the same, so listen from the start of the word.

"cosmopolitanism" matches the audio

Explanation: "which are pro cosmopolitanism, being part" looks long and rare, so it may seem wrong. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"secular" matches the audio

Explanation: The phrase "Which are very secular as religious" looks odd next to 'religious' and may confuse you. It matches the audio, so do not click it.
