Question

Some historians have defined the historical period of the 1960s and 1970s as a watershed moment in US history because it represents critical change. The emergence of movements for equality, a well-organized political activist youth culture, and a counterculture that rebelled against established norms in society are all factors that highlight this change. Is there a single person or event you think exemplifies the changing US society of the 1960s and 1970s? Explain your choice and why you chose it. Or, explain why you think no single person or event exemplifies this period. Then, name an event that you think illustrates the changing perceptions of authority within the United States in the 1960s and 1970s and explain your reasoning.

Answer 2

The 1960's and 1970's was an era in which sociologists took great interest in social change. Thus much of what was going on within the United States at this time which both was impacted by the international community and had some impact upon the international community was 'under the microscope', so to speak. Also, there was Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement, some college kids protesting the draft and the Vietnam War, and President Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis. There are several topics for this...you can take your pick. xD
