Background:
Would
you choose to live in the 1960's? Why or why not?
According
to the Lone Star College-Kingswood Library Webpage entitled American
Cultural History
the sixties were the age of youth, as 70 million children from the post-war
baby boom became teenagers and young adults. The
movement away from the conservative fifties continued
and eventually resulted in revolutionary ways of thinking and real change in
the cultural fabric of American life. No longer content to be images of the
generation ahead of them, young people wanted change. The changes affected
education, values, lifestyles, laws, and entertainment. Many of the
revolutionary ideas which began in the sixties are continuing to evolve
today.
