1. In the 1960s, youths rebelled against long-standing customs in dress, music, and personal behavior. The counterculture both challenged traditional values and unleashed a movement to reassert basic values.

2. The civil rights movement and the earlier women's suffrage movement inspired the women's movement. The movement gave women greater political and social equality.

3. Latinos and Native Americans worked to secure their civil rights in the 1960's and 1970's. Activists also worked to expand the rights of consumers and people with disabilities.

4. Silent Spring - it brought peoples attention to what the worse possible outcomes could be

Cuyahoga river fire in Cleveland - showed people that the are affecting the environment in a bad way

Hope this helps
