German term or phrase: meinungsprägende Bereiche
Any creative suggestions for this one? For meinungsprägenden I have something like "opinionated", and in terms of Bereichen, I'm not exactly sure what is meant here. The sentence it comes from is:

"Die bundesdeutsche Gesellschaft während der achtziger Jahre aber war in ihren meinungsprägenden Bereichen rot-grün. "

TIA!
