Step-by-step explanation;

-The postwar society was very conformed and citizens were materialistic. Critics believed that these citizens had given up their right to be themselves. They also believed that the newly developed suburbs and shopping centers didn't make things better. It was pointed out that not everyone was able to benefit from the economic progress.
