=Counterculture of the 1960s= 1.Counterculture of the 1960s which is basically refering to a cultural movement. Countercoulture can also be described as a group whose behavior devistates from the social norm. This develpoed in the United States and the United Kingdom and spread throughout much of the western world between 1956 and 1974. Many cultural forms populated during this period for example pop music of the British Band "The Beatles" which was the movement that started the rise of hippie culture, which led to the rapid evaluation of a youth subculture that emphazised change and new ways. The Counterculture was a movement where everyone just started to go crazy, but it was more of a symbolism of freedom more than anything. I have to say that this influenced many people and still influeces people till this day.


 * 2. The counter Culture event took place because people applied nonviolence to assure that equal rights guaranteed under the U.S Constitution would apply to all citizens. Many states illegally denied many of these rights to African Americans, and this was successfully addressed in the early and mid-1960s in several major nonviolent movements.

 * 3. This event is so significant to the United States History because people wanted freedom. Freedom was one of the main reasons why this event is so significant. The Counterculture impacted many people through out the U.S. because as you can see that many people felt free and and gave them more power, therefore many people were beyond impacted by this movement. For example, the people known as "hippies" who rejected establised institutions and values and sought spontaneity. They expressed love and tried to expand conciousness by wearing beads using undergarments and wearing headbands. Thousands of people followed this way of thinking and being and till this day people have the mentality of freedom because of this movement.
