Question

Assume you are a male during the late 1960s. If you joined the protests against the Vietnam War b/c you didn't want to go (you had college to finish), your level of maturity was self-centered.

a)True
b)False

Answer 1

The claim that a male student in the 1960s who protested the Vietnam War to avoid the draft was self-centered is false, as many students had moral objections and believed the war was unjust.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that a male student from the late 1960s who joined protests against the Vietnam War because they did not want to go due to unfinished college being self-centered is false. The opposition to the Vietnam War was not solely based on self-interest. Many students were involved in the anti-war movement for various reasons, including moral objections, a belief that the war was unjust, or a lack of faith in the purpose of the conflict. By 1967, the anti-war movement had grown significantly, with tens of thousands participating in protests and expressing diverse viewpoints on a highly contentious issue that was reshaping American society and politics.
