Answer:

Non-conformist attitude. Despised materialism and personal ambition. Viewed suburbia and materialistic possessions as destructive to human spirit. Saw nuclear arms race as threat to human existence.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how the Beats influenced the Baby Boomers; since they're writers and expressed ideas and attitudes counter to the prevailing culture of the United States in the 1950's.
