Editing Relevance (section)

=== Politics ===
During the 1960s, ''relevance'' became a fashionable [[buzzword]], meaning roughly 'relevance to social concerns', such as [[racial equality]], [[poverty]], [[social justice]], [[famine|world hunger]], world [[economic development]], and so on. The implication was that some subjects, e.g., the study of [[medieval poetry]] and the practice of [[corporate law]], were not worthwhile because they did not address pressing [[social issues]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}
