The Counterculture Movement
The counterculture movement of the 1960s was a reaction to the social and political upheavals of the time. The Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the women's liberation movement were all major influences on the counterculture, which rejected the materialism and conformity of mainstream society.
The counterculture embraced pacifism, environmentalism, and sexual liberation. It also celebrated art, music, and literature that expressed the values of the movement.
