Answer 2

Conformism was a predominant ideology during the decade of the 1950s. People were guided by social models inspired on a peaceful and perfect life following the harsh decade of the 40s with the World War.

Youth culture originated as a response to this conservative current. Themes like "Pacifism" and "Equal Rights for minorities" were what motivated the rise of these youth movements during the 1950s and throughout the 1960s.
