1960s

In the 1960s, the first man landed and walked on the moon which brought the US population together in a way that could never be recreated in today's society. Society has changed in many major ways since the 1960s. Some changes that were made were for the better and some changes that were made were for the worse. Although today's society has many positive changes from the 60s, today's society has so many new technologies, and people do not interact with each other like they did in the 1960s…

The counterculture and the various rights revolutions expanded the meaning of freedom in America during the 1960’s by focusing not just on political and economic freedom but on cultural freedom as well. This becomes apparent with the emergence of the New Left who rejected, “respectable norms in clothing, language, sexual behavior, and drug use,” (Foner, 991). Many also experimented with different faiths including Buddhism, Hinduism, and even religious cults. The counterculture also put emphasis…

The documentary film, The Magic Trip portrays the 1960’s , it shows a “black and white picket fence world just stuck in the 50’s” It also shows the road trip that ultimately launched the hippie era. The hippie subculture, which began as a youth movement in the United States during the early 1960s and then developed around the world exploded in the 1960s. It allowed for an artistic outlet for those who didn’t comply with the norms of society. “Hippies” with their crazy colored clothing and…

things. In the 1960’s, you had things like life changing movements, awe- inspiring music, unforgettable style, and prominent authors. Just so many positive aspects that would make you want to live in this time. “A lot of good things came out of the 60’s,” is what the majority of people would say. Unlike me, others might think that today’s society is better that in the 60’s but the evidence was not strong enough to back it up and persuade me. However, I strongly believe that the 1960’s society is…

another movement in the 1960’s, Betty Friedan was a feminist who wrote The Feminine Mystique and cofounded the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966. Parry (2009) describes “the dissatisfaction they endured as “the problem with no name,” and wrote of its terrible toll on the mental health of American women” (para. 4).

has serious blind spots such as supporting the status quo, being change-resistant and controlling outcome in advance, which can only be covered by recourse to other planning traditions. Synoptic planning was criticised in the late 1950s and early 1960s because it was centralising, clung to the notion of a unitary public interest and failed to accommodate changing forces or circumstances in the outside world. Blueprint and synoptic planning form part of what is known as the rational-comprehensive…

When did “the Sixties” really begin? The year 1960 marks the calendar beginning of the decade, but the era’s explosion into consciousness as something new, something different, something dramatic is more often remembered symbolically. Perhaps it was the election of a romantic Camelotesque president…

Feeling as though I only scratched the surface of what the Hippie micro culture has to offer, I discovered that there is a much deeper history the led to the actions involved in the Hippie Movement. Hippies of the 1960s and 1970s had a very untraditional lifestyle, but they had an immense amount of passion with every part of their life. Whether is was music or silence, loving or hating, hippies always pursued their actions to the fullest fury, and felt everything…

As a child, I was taught that we take history classes so that we don't repeat it. In Skolnick's article, she covers revolutions of the 60s and 70s. She starts off by talking about a big scandal of the 1960s it involves that "limiting" a women's rights.
