In the Mid 1960’s, there was a serious contradiction in social values in America. On one hand, America stood for freedom, democracy, and equality. On the other hand, there were also pockets of racism, group superiority, and individualism. What was the outcome of this value contradiction?

Answer:A time of innocence and hope soon began to look like a time of anger and violence. More Americans protested to demand an end to the unfair treatment of black citizens. Many more protested to demand an end to the war in Vietnam. And many protested to demand full equality for women.

The unrest and violence affected many young Americans. The effect seemed especially bad because of the time in which they had grown up.

Later, many young Americans began to question these beliefs. They felt that their parents' values were not enough to help them deal with the social and racial difficulties of the nineteen sixties. They rebelled by letting their hair grow long and by wearing unusual clothing. Their dissatisfaction was strongly expressed in music.
