What is your impression of the sixties era?
The sixties era was a time of change as people began challenging unfair standards, beliefs and rights with movements and new ideals to achieve equality and balance.
Where does this come from?
As values were changing with the new Labour government in this post-WW2 decade, the production of more controversial ideals, movements and products challenged past and present standards of that time, shown in the Equal Rights Movement, the second wave of Feminism, and the rise of popular yet unexpected idols such as the Beatles. Plus, student movements across the US began alongside the Vietnam war, as the public started to realise there was more loss than gain, and that they were barely numbers on paper to higher powers.
5 key events from that era that shaped it:
The Vietnam War, JFK's Assassination, The Equal Rights Movement, The Second Wave of Feminism, and Moon Landings.
5 famous figures associated with that era:
Martin Luther King Jr, John F Kennedy, The Beatles, Muhammed Ali and Alfred Hitchcock.
