The Impact Of Beheiren And The Sixties
These findings show that there were wide range of actors – from most privileged Beheiren movement to those JRA members who identified themselves
as living under poverty – committed to the Japanese Sixties movement. Thus, the experiences of the people involved in the Sixties are certainly
multiple. However, bringing back Beheiren and the JRA's transnational activism into macro structural perspective, we can see that both movements
were part of substantial change that the Japanese society was facing during the time of 1960s and 1970s. First of all, what is common among the two is
their enthusiasm and aspiration toward the outside world and their desire for transnational mobility. As mentioned earlier, these were reflection of
"global turn" of the Japanese society at large. It was not only the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 or the international exposition in Osaka in 1970 that

The Japanese can be more sympathetic toward the First World or the Third World depending on the position within the society. Furthermore,
three–world configuration that was first introduced to analyze the entire world was also applied to emphasize various inequality within Japan.
"Third World inside of Japan" was the phrase started to be used in the Japanese radical public sphere from the late 1960s to describe area and
people who were exploited and suppressed by the "First World" in Japan. Those places included Okinawa islands occupied by the U.S. until it
returned to Japan in 1972 or underclass neighborhoods known as Yoseba where day laborers gather and seek for temporary jobs. In the later phase of
the Sixties movement, radical activists including the JRA members showed earnestness concern over these suppressed areas and endeavored to

Another way that changed or become popular with the exposure of a counter culture in the sixties and had shaped the American society was the
growth of the rock music, increase of drug, alcohol abuse and freedom about sex. Hippies were basically blithe about a lot of things that they did
not like. These were signs to get noticed about how they wished to get away from the American culture. One of their slogans was, "Get every
creature so stoned they can't stand the plastic shit of American culture" (1960's 200). A history professor, Terry H. Anderson wrote, "Hippies
commonly took drugs to expand their consciousness, to rebel against the establishment and to enhance their own sense of being different" (200).
They were mainly dissenters who liked experimenting. New drugs came out continuously but the most popular ones were LSD, marijuana, certain
hallucinogens, heroin and alcohol. Surveys from the sixties show that in early sixties only 4 percent of people from ages 18 to 25 had tried
marijuana and twelve years after, it was 50 percent in the nation as a whole and 60 percent for college students and even higher in some universities.

Non-Verbal Communication : The Patterns Of Interpersonal...
Introduction:
Interpersonal communication is much more than the explicit meaning attached to it – words, information, and message transmitted. It also covers the
implicit messages expressed through non–verbal behaviors. Non–verbal communication is a communication pattern that involves use of tonal,
physiological, and other non–verbal patterns to pass a message (communicate). According to Greg Woodley through a report on his website (Woodley,
2017), two university studies were conducted and it was discovered that about 93% of our communications are non–verbal. He further stated that the
research were conducted by Abraham Nehrebian (1968) and Bob Birdwhistel (1970) respectively and they concluded that 7% verbal, 38% tonal, and
53% physiological communication pattern existed between people.
Tonal pattern comprises the qualities of the voice in the sender of the message and the miscellaneous actions that occur during the delivery of the
message and to back it up, Dr. Len Speny (Dr. Len, 1975) further stated that there existed several sub–patterns under the tonal pattern that were forms
of non–verbal communication. They include:

Slow speech, low pitchDepression

There is not a single genre of music that can define either the 1960's or the 1990's. There was folk music from Bob Dylan; R&B influenced music
from Motown and the Rolling Stones; rock music from the Beach Boys; and psychedelic music from the Doors and Pink Floyd. Many new types of
music evolved in the nineties.
These genres that evolved the most, were rap music and hip–hop. Underground alternative rock also became very mainstream. In 1969, the Woodstock
music festival symbolized peace and love. Civil rights disruptions, racial tensions and very dissimilar opinions about the involvement in the Vietnam
war, all of these are what the 1960's are known for. People were very fervent about their beliefs and ideas, some people were willing to give up their
lives.
People were becoming increasingly averse to the Vietnam war and did not hold back when it came to expressing their opinions. The idea of the

social justice. From the religious aspect, the social and political upheaval throughout the nation was also rising within the church. Whereas in the
nineteenth century the greatest battleground was between Catholic and Protestant, as churches began to follow more of the social movements of this
time with "feeling happy as the highest goal", the religious split became more of conservative vs liberal agenda. One thing the church was always
consistent on was their patriotism, but the Vietnam War began to create a shift. Pastors and religious leaders were some of the most outspoken in the

Tripping Over Hazy Art
From trippy patterns to wildly vibrant typography, the psychedelic art style was absolutely endless. The unique art movement was at its best from
1966 to 1972. Although there were many memorable artists at this time, Wes Wilson was known for being the "father of the 60's rock concert posters."
Psychedelic art was just about everybody's obsession in the 1960's because of its unorthodox style and artists that were a part of it. Throughout the
1960's there were many fads and trends, but one of the most creative ones was the idea of psychedelic art. The word "psychedelic" comes from the

In an interview hosted by CNN, author Ken Johnson stated: "I think any work of art encourages you to imagine your way into a state of
consciousness that may not be your normal state, so you kind of suspend disbelief and allow yourself to be imaginatively seduced into a different
way of relating to the world so that you study things more carefully, you think about how things are affecting you." Johnson also stated, "but they
start thinking about how our perceptions work and how interesting it is the way we think about the world, so we think about our thinking." This
proves that in the 60's many people discovered that drugs, such as LSD, were a way to see the deeper meaning behind things because it rearranged
the whole way your brain may have thought. Another reason that psychedelic art was so popular in the 60's was because all of the art pieces, more
specifically rock concert posters, they "tried to visually express the feeling of tripping out." (visualartsdepartment.wordpress.com) An article on
arthistory.net titled "Psychedelic Art," says that many of these art pieces were also popular because of their "visually captivating styles." Obviously,

This motto lead to the youth oppressing to various political issues. "The Times They Are a–Changin" by Bob Dylan expresses how youth movement
evolved in the sixties. As a song says, "In the fourth stanza, Bob Dylan addresses mothers and fathers and tells them not to criticize what they don't
understand. I believe this means that the youth are probably fighting for freedom and mothers and fathers look down on their kids for "rebelling,"
but Bob Dylan is saying that there is a need to fight for this freedom" (Dylan 1). Another song which expressed the rebellion of youth is "For What
IT's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. This song indicates that rebellion of youth existed for more than four decades. This rebellious youth movement
became more violent due to the influence of drugs, which were open in the society to everyone. The intake of drugs was so common which lead to a
large group of addicts who in turn committed unforgiving crimes. However, there were certain groups of addicts who eventually sobered down. A

The Revolution Of The Time
The 1960s were a decade of era–defining significance, the start of a counter–culture revolution, and a time when young people stood up and made their
voices heard. The exhibition You Say You Want a Revolution portrays this through five years of influential music, art and design, film, fashion and
politics. The late 1960s saw young people rebelling and using their voice to say there is more to life than money, work and war. They created an
underground movement and rebellion, challenging outdated norms and expectations, that has in turn shaped the way we live today. The aim of the
exhibition as described by the V&A, was for visitors to consider how the way we live today and how we see the future, has been influenced by the

John F. Kennedy 's Accomplishments Essay
The campaign for President in 1960s was one of the closest races between two candidates. In the end, John F. Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, had
only been elected by a one–tenth of a percent margin against his Republican party opponent, Richard M. Nixon. John F. Kennedy had made specific
decisions as the Democratic candidate that helped him leap to victory. Specifically, JFK's performance during the first televised debate, decision to
focus on key large states, Houston tape, and other decisions had overall led to him winning the election of 1960. On the other end, Nixon had made
some inaccuracies and mistakes that cost him getting elected. Specifically, Nixon's hospitalization, promise to visit all 50 states, performance and
appearance on the first nationally viewed television and other errors are what led to JFK's win. Because of Nixon's and Kennedy's decisions during
the campaign of 1960, it would, after all, lead to JFK's election.
JFK had made very crucial decisions during his run for President in which helped him to beat Nixon. First, JFK played it smart by focusing on large

Drugs greatly deepened the willingness and desire to love one another and satisfy oneself. Drug use was very prevalent in the 1960's and the main
reason was the counterculture. Drugs were promoted through many of the admired musical groups whom were the heads of the counterculture
revolution. As a result many of their fans got addicted to drug use and influenced society in an altered drug state. The counterculture was founded by
personal satisfaction and the main source of satisfaction was drugs. Drugs negatively affected the social revolution because it instilled complacency and
a lack of desire to impact society within the members of the movement. Without the drug abuses, society would look much different today and the War

Hippies– known for their love of drugs and sex, they often misguided the common folk of their intentions. In their minds, what they were doing was
guilelessly standing up for themselves and what they considered was theirs; what they believed in. They believed in their rights, and they wanted to
do what they pleased; not to conform to the requirements of living in the average society of the time. They wanted to create a culture where spiritual
awareness was highly regarded (sometimes through psychedelic drugs), where everything was given freely, where everyone (even strangers) were
thought of as one's brother, where everyone valued peace, and where rights were given freely to everyone. (Express Thyself. (n.d.)) These rights would

Rather than the old–fashioned way in which journalism was performed, solely as a representation of facts, New Journalism also involved a subjective
interpretation of what the author felt about what was going on within the matter that they were working on. It worked against saying that "one of the
unconscious assumptions of modern criticism that the raw material is simply 'there.' It is the 'given,'" (Wolfe 11), instead saying that audience is not
looking for the facts behind the story, but instead the truth behind the actions that were taken. They were looking for the 'why' instead of the 'what.'
Many journalists followed this time, with a couple of them not only finding success in what they did, but also originating a genre that is popular even

Drugs highly influence music in the sixties with bands such as The Byrds, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Strawberry Alarm
Clock, and The Beatles. These bands took inspiration from the affects that the drugs had on them with their psychedelic properties. Drugs were also
just starting to get introduced and people were highly influenced with positive drug propaganda ("The 60 's"). So, the positivity about drugs were
influencing the bands and the bands were influencing the people and the more dugs being bought, the more people heard about them, and the more
people heard about them, the more they were used, so basically it was just an endless cycle of drug positivity.
So now there are more than a hundred thousand people in America who are being influenced by this music that expresses sex and drug use in
positive ways. Also, with the invention for the birth control pill in 1960, the consequences of having sex lessened and now women could be just as
involved in it as men where. In 1962, 1.2 million American women were using it and by 1965 that number reached to 2.3 million women (Nikolchev).

1960s Counterculture Movement
The Time of Rebirth: Counterculture Movements Woodstock, psychedelics, and Rock 'n' Roll were all a major point in the 1960s counterculture
movement. Many icons like Janis Joplin rose to their fame during this era. The "hippie" movement, even 60 years later, is a major landmark in history
and pieces of the past can be seen in many different ways. Why are counterculture movements so infamous and what purpose do they serve? Do
counterculture movements establish a certain principle or are they simply a rebellion against society? I feel as though counterculture movements take
place for a reason. Counterculture movements are more than a rebellion and help bring out the issue that everyone tends to keep quiet about. Without
counterculture movements, societies would be forced to stay within the limits of what others dictate as right or wrong. The beginning of the 1960s was a

either wore their hair very short or long and lanky. Also, peasant skirts, or granny dresses, and chunky shoes somehow came into fashion during this

Despite these two setbacks, he successfully won his election against Richard Nixon and had to face the challenges of the 1960s, showing America they

the entire world to join forces to make earth a better place for all. Throughout his speech, Kennedy uses several devices to execute his point. In
particular, he gathers the audience's hearts by using pathos and appeals to their emotions. For example, he specifically addresses different groups
of people around the world, including our "old allies," "those new states," the "people in the huts and villages," "our sister republics," and the
"world assembly of sovereign states" (Kennedy online). He also repeats the words "we," "our," and "us" to make everyone feel included no matter

to their emotions specifically. He reassures everyone that America's strength and unity cannot be damaged by others when he says, "let us never
negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate"(online). He goes on to remind all citizens of "the graves of the young Americans who

The 1960's were a decade of revolution and change in politics, music and society around the U.S. The 60's were also an era of protest. Many of the
protest were for the unfair treatment of races (civil right movement). Female activists demanded more rights, the birth control pill and contraceptives
were introduced as well. The hippie trend however, was the most brave and boldest movement in the 60's. (English–online) The hippie movement
started with young people in their teens/early 20s. They were known as "rebels" to the society. They went into public with sometimes barely to no
clothes. They smoked marijuana, drunk alcohol, and were big believers in pre–marital sex. They acted in such a way only to show the government and
the rest of the world that it was time for a change. To become a hippie is not hard. You have to start dressing the part; more importantly, you must
have the same beliefs as everyone else in the movement. No one should follow or think how the rest of society thinks. They dressed in tye–dye, khakis,
ripped jeans and females sometimes wore flower headbands and bracelets. No certain gender could be denied membership into the movement. Nor

Review Of ' The Art Of Reinvention '
The Art of Reinvention What is reinvention? Reinvention is the art of changing something or someone that existed previously, and assigning it a
new designated role. Prior to undergoing a reinvention, someone must experience enough pain in their current situation to aspire a need for it. An
effective reinvention is when someone is able to create something completely different out of the life they previously lived. Characters from The
Americans, Breaking Bad, and Gone Girl all reinvented themselves into new individuals with new values and beliefs. Although each of the
characters experienced different forms of reinvention, they were all able to recreate themselves into either something better or something worse.
Therefore, as a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press, I believe that Walter White from Breaking Bad had the most complete reinvention because
he came to accept his flaws, went through an enormous amount of pain, and finally created a new reality of standards for himself. When a person is
in the process of reinvention, it is vital to know why he or she wants to change and how they can achieve the most effective reinvention. According to
Arthur Day, "Recognize what 's causing you to want to reinvent yourself....Is it age related, peer pressure, family expectations? Is it a specific
developmental stage you 're in? Or is it a reaction to something else in your life that you 're unhappy with?" To be fully reinvented, a person needs to

departure from the preceding 'conformist' state. The early 1970s British society is more or less a more 'mature' version of the gradually growing
incoherent one that came into existence in the 1950s. Britain in 1951, though conservative, did acknowledge a new modern world of changes, social
and technological progression rather than standing statically. To see the differences created by social transformation, we need to look at the aspect of
continuity and changes that distinguishes the two.

This and establishment of new towns distributed the population to other areas outside of the already crowded cities such as London.
Increasing car–ownership and infrastructure construction of new highway make the country more geographically mobile. This pushes the housing
development to outside towns and cities. Established traditional communities were broken up as the population spread to other areas. Car travel also
changed ideas of holidays and leisure. The surging demand for cars cut out the demand for rail travel. In response to the Beeching Report of 1963,
hundreds of unprofitable railways were closed, leaving a lot of rural areas in isolation.
The society of early 1970s inherited a changing class attitude from the 1950s. British society in 1951 was 'conformist', 'class–driven' and favouring of
establishments. There was breakdown of these principles in the following years but that does not mean that Britain has totally changed from being a
'class–divided' nation. Suggest by R.A. Butler that the modern Conservatism of Britain was more of 'have' and 'have more' than a case of 'have' and
'have not'.
These social breakdowns should be viewed as results of economic conditions in the period, political shifts, the development of new standard of popular
media and cultural changes. The growing affluence of the 1950s and 1960s set ground for social mobility. The old school class division was blurred out

Differences Between The 1950's And The 1960s
The cultural shift that occurred between the 1950s and the 1960s is perhaps one of the most contrasting transformations America has seen between
decades. While the 1950s are painted as a time of prosperity, patriotism, and tradition, the 1960s is described as a decade of activism, rebellion, and
turmoil. As the baby boomer generation transitioned into adulthood, they became loud advocates for their beliefs and notions of freedom. As with any
powerful push for change, the backlash was intense. In the case of the 1960s, "the flower children" were forced to witness the deaths of four great
leaders of the decade: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Junior. The 1960s was the decade of the civil rights

The approval of birth control revitalized the feminist movement and triggered a new set of goals that far exceeded the once impossible goal of
attaining the right to vote for women (Shi and Tindall 1132). Feminism in the 1960s was focused on equality in the workplace and attempted to
diminish the established belief that women should stay within the domestic sphere. In the early 1960s, Betty Friedan published The Feminine
Mystique, which "defined the problem that has no name" (Shi and Tindall 1129). Feminism in the 1960s was a rapidly developing social justice
cause. In 1966, Friedan as well as other feminist activists founded that National Organization for Women (NOW) to achieve their goal of allowing
women the freedom to explore their various capabilities and interests through fighting for the legalization of abortions and financial and state support
for child care centers (Shi and Tindall 130). The 1960s did a lot the foundational work for the new goals of feminism and allowed for the many
milestones achieved in the following decade. As always though, the new feminism caused a negative reaction from those who valued conservative
American values. While feminism of the 1960s was inarguably a highlight of progress during the era, it certainly contributed the anxiety of individuals

The Impact Of Beheiren And The Sixties

  • 1. The Impact Of Beheiren And The Sixties These findings show that there were wide range of actors – from most privileged Beheiren movement to those JRA members who identified themselves as living under poverty – committed to the Japanese Sixties movement. Thus, the experiences of the people involved in the Sixties are certainly multiple. However, bringing back Beheiren and the JRA's transnational activism into macro structural perspective, we can see that both movements were part of substantial change that the Japanese society was facing during the time of 1960s and 1970s. First of all, what is common among the two is their enthusiasm and aspiration toward the outside world and their desire for transnational mobility. As mentioned earlier, these were reflection of "global turn" of the Japanese society at large. It was not only the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 or the international exposition in Osaka in 1970 that represents the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Japanese can be more sympathetic toward the First World or the Third World depending on the position within the society. Furthermore, three–world configuration that was first introduced to analyze the entire world was also applied to emphasize various inequality within Japan. "Third World inside of Japan" was the phrase started to be used in the Japanese radical public sphere from the late 1960s to describe area and people who were exploited and suppressed by the "First World" in Japan. Those places included Okinawa islands occupied by the U.S. until it returned to Japan in 1972 or underclass neighborhoods known as Yoseba where day laborers gather and seek for temporary jobs. In the later phase of the Sixties movement, radical activists including the JRA members showed earnestness concern over these suppressed areas and endeavored to assimilate with the "Third World in Japan" by engaging in volunteer activities and mobilizing ...

The previous quote was written by Andrew Kopkind in Rolling Stone on the Woodstock festival observing that a new culture was immersing from the roots of the adult American life (1960's 198).

Another way that changed or become popular with the exposure of a counter culture in the sixties and had shaped the American society was the growth of the rock music, increase of drug, alcohol abuse and freedom about sex. Hippies were basically blithe about a lot of things that they did not like. These were signs to get noticed about how they wished to get away from the American culture. One of their slogans was, "Get every creature so stoned they can't stand the plastic shit of American culture" (1960's 200). A history professor, Terry H. Anderson wrote, "Hippies commonly took drugs to expand their consciousness, to rebel against the establishment and to enhance their own sense of being different" (200). They were mainly dissenters who liked experimenting. New drugs came out continuously but the most popular ones were LSD, marijuana, certain hallucinogens, heroin and alcohol. Surveys from the sixties show that in early sixties only 4 percent of people from ages 18 to 25 had tried marijuana and twelve years after, it was 50 percent in the nation as a whole and 60 percent for college students and even higher in some universities. (201). 1960's became a drug culture during that era. The rise in drugs and alcohol usage during the sixties is a cause of the considerable drug and alcohol abuse in the United States.

  • 3. Non-Verbal Communication : The Patterns Of Interpersonal... Introduction: Interpersonal communication is much more than the explicit meaning attached to it – words, information, and message transmitted. It also covers the implicit messages expressed through non–verbal behaviors. Non–verbal communication is a communication pattern that involves use of tonal, physiological, and other non–verbal patterns to pass a message (communicate). According to Greg Woodley through a report on his website (Woodley, 2017), two university studies were conducted and it was discovered that about 93% of our communications are non–verbal. He further stated that the research were conducted by Abraham Nehrebian (1968) and Bob Birdwhistel (1970) respectively and they concluded that 7% verbal, 38% tonal, and 53% physiological communication pattern existed between people. Tonal pattern comprises the qualities of the voice in the sender of the message and the miscellaneous actions that occur during the delivery of the message and to back it up, Dr. Len Speny (Dr. Len, 1975) further stated that there existed several sub–patterns under the tonal pattern that were forms of non–verbal communication. They include: Tonal sub–patternSignificance Slow speech, low pitchDepression High voice, emphatic pitchEnthusiasm Ascending voiceAstonishment Abrupt speechDefensiveness Tense speed, loud toneAnger High pitched, drawn–out speechDisbelief Under the physiological pattern, we have the body posture/gestures and facial expression as another sub–pattern.

Many new types of music evolved in the nineties. These genres that evolved the most, were rap music and hip–hop. Underground alternative rock also became very mainstream. In 1969, the Woodstock music festival symbolized peace and love. Civil rights disruptions, racial tensions and very dissimilar opinions about the involvement in the Vietnam war, all of these are what the 1960's are known for. People were very fervent about their beliefs and ideas, some people were willing to give up their lives.

Although some went on to live their normal lives with work and family, others were protesting and fighting for peace, racial, and social justice. From the religious aspect, the social and political upheaval throughout the nation was also rising within the church. Whereas in the nineteenth century the greatest battleground was between Catholic and Protestant, as churches began to follow more of the social movements of this time with "feeling happy as the highest goal", the religious split became more of conservative vs liberal agenda. One thing the church was always consistent on was their patriotism, but the Vietnam War began to create a shift. Pastors and religious leaders were some of the most outspoken in the anti–war effort.

In an interview hosted by CNN, author Ken Johnson stated: "I think any work of art encourages you to imagine your way into a state of consciousness that may not be your normal state, so you kind of suspend disbelief and allow yourself to be imaginatively seduced into a different way of relating to the world so that you study things more carefully, you think about how things are affecting you." Johnson also stated, "but they start thinking about how our perceptions work and how interesting it is the way we think about the world, so we think about our thinking." This proves that in the 60's many people discovered that drugs, such as LSD, were a way to see the deeper meaning behind things because it rearranged the whole way your brain may have thought. Another reason that psychedelic art was so popular in the 60's was because all of the art pieces, more specifically rock concert posters, they "tried to visually express the feeling of tripping out."

Women under the age of 34 were more likely to use condoms and reversible contraceptives at about 11 percent compared to older women who used them 6.6 and 5.3 percent of the time, respectively (Daniels, 2014, p. 3). As of recently, women have been talking about getting long term birth control or stocking up on Plan B. This is because they are worried the Trump will take away the articles in the Affordable Care Act that say that insurance companies must cover birth control, reproductive health and abortion funding. There are currently provisions in the ACA that allow women access to gynecological visits and birth control without having to pay a copay (Rinkunas, 2016). These provisions when originally passed because a number of businesses filed for exemptions so that they would not have to provide access to free contraception to women; specifically those who may have decided to use Plan B (the morning after pill). Some religious based businesses owners believe that preventing a fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus is the same as an abortion, and to them life begins at conception (Newton–Small, 2016).

  • 31. 1960s Counterculture Movement The Time of Rebirth: Counterculture Movements Woodstock, psychedelics, and Rock 'n' Roll were all a major point in the 1960s counterculture movement. Many icons like Janis Joplin rose to their fame during this era. The "hippie" movement, even 60 years later, is a major landmark in history and pieces of the past can be seen in many different ways. Why are counterculture movements so infamous and what purpose do they serve? Do counterculture movements establish a certain principle or are they simply a rebellion against society? I feel as though counterculture movements take place for a reason. Counterculture movements are more than a rebellion and help bring out the issue that everyone tends to keep quiet about. Without counterculture movements, societies would be forced to stay within the limits of what others dictate as right or wrong. The beginning of the 1960s was a time of economic growth and a time of prosperity ("Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'N' Roll" 00:01:59). Important things came out of the decade, for example civil rights. The decade itself was a time of movement for not only blacks, but also for women and those who sought a life outside of social norms. Feminism in the 60s and the civil rights movement both fed into the historical 1960s counterculture movement.

Cities however were doing terribly. Because of the mass migration from cities to suburbs, cities lost major tax revenue which had caused them to go into a state of disrepair. As a result crime and drug use had also increased only worsening the situation for the poor blacks living there at the time.

Women in the early 1960's wore bouffant hairstyles, and like the 1920's, knee length dresses. However, later in the decade, mini skirts, or hot pants, with go–go boots became popular. These skirts revealed their legs as bodywear revealed their curves. Women's hairstyles even changed. Women either wore their hair very short or long and lanky. Also, peasant skirts, or granny dresses, and chunky shoes somehow came into fashion during this period of time too. By the end of the decade, unisex dressing was very popular especially with the hippies. Both sexes wore bell–bottom jeans, love beads, and embellished T–shirts. This was also the era of the Afro, which both sexes of African Americans wore. "There's nothing surer; the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."

  • 34. Rhetorical Devices In Jfk Inaugural Speech John F. Kennedy was born in Massachuchets in the small town of Brookline to a somewhat privileged life (History online). Although he did have a medical issue called Addison's disease involving the endocrine system, he was still able to attend Harvard, travel to Europe to help his father with work, and join the Navy (History online). Finally, at the age of twenty–nine he began his career in politics later becoming one of the most renowned president. The election of 1960 "was one of the closest elections in American history," and it came as a surprise that Kennedy was able to come out on top (ushistory.org online). After all, he was the "youngest [president] to be elected" and the first "Roman Catholic elected" (ushistory.org online). Despite these two setbacks, he successfully won his election against Richard Nixon and had to face the challenges of the 1960s, showing America they made the right decision. In his Inaugural address, President Kennedy strived to ensure he had America's best interest in mind and to encourage the entire world to join forces to make earth a better place for all. Throughout his speech, Kennedy uses several devices to execute his point. In particular, he gathers the audience's hearts by using pathos and appeals to their emotions. For example, he specifically addresses different groups of people around the world, including our "old allies," "those new states," the "people in the huts and villages," "our sister republics," and the "world assembly of sovereign states" (Kennedy online). He also repeats the words "we," "our," and "us" to make everyone feel included no matter who or where they are. While the president makes it clear he is speaking to all nations, he also speaks solely to the citizens of America and appeals to their emotions specifically. He reassures everyone that America's strength and unity cannot be damaged by others when he says, "let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate"(online). He goes on to remind all citizens of "the graves of the young Americans who answered the call to service" that lie all over the globe (Kennedy online).

The Hippie movement started in the early sixties and continued in force until roughly 1970 (Hippies and 1960's counterculture). Hippies rebelled against their parents' conformity and many ran away from home to experiment with their lives and what they could do. Heinlein wrote Stranger in 1962, although in letters to his editor he had been thinking about writing the book since the late forties (Grumbles from the Grave), the book was a huge success largely thanks to the 1960's counterculture as the book portrays many of their ideals. Stranger in a Strange Land falls in perfect step with the Free Love movement influencing it in a few ways; in the book Michael Valentine Smith creates a small commune in which sex is common, shared, and without jealousy, sex for Smith starts at a "young" age, although he is a man, socially he has had no experience.

  • 36. The Hippie Movement In The 1960's The 1960's were a decade of revolution and change in politics, music and society around the U.S. The 60's were also an era of protest. Many of the protest were for the unfair treatment of races (civil right movement). Female activists demanded more rights, the birth control pill and contraceptives were introduced as well. The hippie trend however, was the most brave and boldest movement in the 60's. (English–online) The hippie movement started with young people in their teens/early 20s. They were known as "rebels" to the society. They went into public with sometimes barely to no clothes. They smoked marijuana, drunk alcohol, and were big believers in pre–marital sex. They acted in such a way only to show the government and the rest of the world that it was time for a change. To become a hippie is not hard. You have to start dressing the part; more importantly, you must have the same beliefs as everyone else in the movement. No one should follow or think how the rest of society thinks. They dressed in tye–dye, khakis, ripped jeans and females sometimes wore flower headbands and bracelets. No certain gender could be denied membership into the movement.

  • 37. Allusions In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest The 1960s are commonly known as an age of sex, drugs, and rock and roll: a significant contrast from the former proper, devoted family of the 1950s. During the 1960s, in contrast to the 1950s, the emphasis on religion wasn't as noteworthy as before. As Ken Kesey, born in 1935, experienced these changes while maturing, he had the opportunity to touch upon old religious ideas in many of his novels. More specifically, Ken Kesey's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest constantly alludes to the Bible, with references to Hell and its machine–like dwellers, as well as numerous Christ–like figures, in order to further establish his meaning. Kesey's most obvious biblical reference lies in his exposure of societal flaws.

  • 38. Review Of ' The Art Of Reinvention ' The Art of Reinvention What is reinvention? Reinvention is the art of changing something or someone that existed previously, and assigning it a new designated role. Prior to undergoing a reinvention, someone must experience enough pain in their current situation to aspire a need for it. An effective reinvention is when someone is able to create something completely different out of the life they previously lived. Characters from The Americans, Breaking Bad, and Gone Girl all reinvented themselves into new individuals with new values and beliefs. Although each of the characters experienced different forms of reinvention, they were all able to recreate themselves into either something better or something worse. Therefore, as a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press, I believe that Walter White from Breaking Bad had the most complete reinvention because he came to accept his flaws, went through an enormous amount of pain, and finally created a new reality of standards for himself. When a person is in the process of reinvention, it is vital to know why he or she wants to change and how they can achieve the most effective reinvention. According to Arthur Day, "Recognize what 's causing you to want to reinvent yourself....Is it age related, peer pressure, family expectations? Is it a specific developmental stage you 're in? Or is it a reaction to something else in your life that you 're unhappy with?" To be fully reinvented, a person needs to do more than just change a thing or ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

But, as radically the society changed, we cannot say that it was a total departure from the preceding 'conformist' state.

This and establishment of new towns distributed the population to other areas outside of the already crowded cities such as London. Increasing car–ownership and infrastructure construction of new highway make the country more geographically mobile. This pushes the housing development to outside towns and cities. Established traditional communities were broken up as the population spread to other areas. Car travel also changed ideas of holidays and leisure. The surging demand for cars cut out the demand for rail travel. In response to the Beeching Report of 1963, hundreds of unprofitable railways were closed, leaving a lot of rural areas in isolation. The society of early 1970s inherited a changing class attitude from the 1950s. British society in 1951 was 'conformist', 'class–driven' and favouring of establishments. There was breakdown of these principles in the following years but that does not mean that Britain has totally changed from being a 'class–divided' nation. Suggest by R.A. Butler that the modern Conservatism of Britain was more of 'have' and 'have more' than a case of 'have' and 'have not'. These social breakdowns should be viewed as results of economic conditions in the period, political shifts, the development of new standard of popular media and cultural changes.

The approval of birth control revitalized the feminist movement and triggered a new set of goals that far exceeded the once impossible goal of attaining the right to vote for women (Shi and Tindall 1132). Feminism in the 1960s was focused on equality in the workplace and attempted to diminish the established belief that women should stay within the domestic sphere. In the early 1960s, Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique, which "defined the problem that has no name" (Shi and Tindall 1129). Feminism in the 1960s was a rapidly developing social justice cause. In 1966, Friedan as well as other feminist activists founded that National Organization for Women (NOW) to achieve their goal of allowing women the freedom to explore their various capabilities and interests through fighting for the legalization of abortions and financial and state support for child care centers (Shi and Tindall 130). The 1960s did a lot the foundational work for the new goals of feminism and allowed for the many milestones achieved in the following decade.
