Today, the significance of the higher education can hardly be underestimated. Hence, it is extremely important to get the higher education since it opens larger opportunities for the professional career and success. At the same time, the successful education at the University is hardly possible without the development of a strategic approach to the learning process and education at large.
At first glance, the higher education seems to be self-sufficient in regard to students’ learning efforts for students need to learn hard to gain academic success. However, such a view on the higher education is apparently superficial. Today, it is not really important how much you learn what does matter today is how effectively you are learning. In this respect, the effectiveness of learning can be grounded only on the effective strategy that is applied to learning, while without a strategic approach it is hardly possible to succeed in the learning process.

The development of the Civil Rights movement in the USA marked the apogee of the struggle of African Americans and other ethnic minorities in the USA for their human rights. In fact, the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s was led by African Americans, such as Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others, who attempted to gain equal rights and opportunities for African Americans compared to white Americans. At the same time, the Civil Rights movement did not raise spontaneously. Instead, it was the result of historical development of civil consciousness of African Americans since the epoch of slavery through abolition of slavery, racial discrimination and the permanent struggle of African Americans for their rights, which affected not only their social position in the American society but also their financial well-being. In such a way, the Civil Rights movement resulted from the growing civil consciousness of African Americans and activities of leaders of the movement, especially Martin Luther King and the movement contributed to the consistent change of the state as well as the American society at large not only to African Americans but also to other minorities.
The USA’s entry into World War II influenced consistently the balance of power in the world and, to a significant extent, predetermined the outcome of the war.

a. The GDP is very important for measuring the business cycle. In actuality, it is possible to identify different stages of the business cycle on the basis of GDP. To put it more precisely, the growth of GDP indicates to the economic development and therefore the growth of GDP implies that the business cycle has entered the stage of growth.
