social issue of the 1960's?
966514
The biggest issue of the sixties was putting a man on the moon.  Then Kennedy was shot and that was all but overshadowed by the same bunch who brought us Iraq taking us into Vietnam.  Then there was Martin Luther King and the civil rights  movement.  The time was about freedom, the rights of men and women, and what this country should be about.  Some of these issues made it through, while the movement itself was systematically crushed,  partly by the shooting deaths of both Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, the students at Kent State, the police riot in Chicago against the war demonstrators.  "We  will have no more of this" was the message that came through loud and clear.

Yes, our society has degraded tremendously since 1970! I was twelve years old back then, and I have been watching. I wish we could get our old values back before it is too late.

I am not from the 60's generation, but my parents were. That is just how things were back in the 60's. Things were just so inicent and non-sexual like they are now.\nThe 60's was just another generation.

contact the museum of television and radio at (212) 621-6600 and ask if they have videos of old news casts for sale or clips to use.\n\nalso contact your local television station for news archives. the 1960's was an ecclectic and electric age where the ENTIRE world changed....politics, war, clothing, music, civil rights, food, drinks, smoking, drugs, toys, the way we got our news, malls, vacations...everything!\n\nmaybe put an ad in the newspaper for people to volunteer some of their vintage home movies too!\n\ngood luck!

I can't say that it is.  The 60s were a time of real questioning, and the people who saw that things were wrong, that the government was doing what it shouldn't, took actual strides to make it stop and to make people aware of it.  \n\nToday?  Well, we've got all sorts of civil liberties violations and our government breaking the law, and people are so afraid, so full of fear, that they aren't doing anything.  The largest issue to get people to vote is homosexual marriage.  Without that, the voting stalls would have been ghost towns.  \n\nI wish we had a little of the vim and vigor of that past decade today.

If you mean social influences affecting the perpetuation of the traditional nuclear family, then there would be negative effects.  Media representations of families support non-traditional family settings and rely on extended families and friendship kinships more often that a traditional family scape like those of the 50s and 60s.  We see more Will and Grace and Friends than Cosby and Family Ties.  I don't know if that is a reflection of society or if society is a reflection of the media's embrace of such situations.  At any rate, its up to the individual to decide whether or not that is a positive move.\n\nIn case you meant social learning in terms of child development and the conflicts which a young person may encounter concerning parental guidance and peer influence.  I've witnessed that be both positive and negative at work in my classroom.  I have seen kids that grew up on the street meet and learn things that will help them be more easily accepted into the world of middle class norms, and sadly I have seen those with everything in the world before them throw it all away by hooking up with drugs and alcohol, etc.\n\nIn short, social learning is important.  So is good decision making and that is what we should encourage, by consistently implementing consequences, both positive and negative.

This is an issue that stems back from the 1960s.\n\nAs you may or may not have known, during the 1960s, America suffered huge cultural and social changes. One of them was the rise of the Hippie Movement and Youthquake, which went against what people at the time-- especially Conservatives-- considered "moral", "traditional", and "upstanding."\n\nBesides the obvious sex, drugs, and rock and roll they indulged in, Hippies also dressed and changed their appearances in ways that offended Conservatives and the Establishment at the time. One of the things they did (the males) was grow out their hair and start growing beards and mustaches at a time when men were expected to be cleanshaven and have the shortest hair possible. As a result, any man who started growing his hair out became associated with the whole Hippie lifestyle and was seen as unfeminine, unAmerican, a derelict, and a subverstive.\n\nWhat you are seeing now is a holdover from those days. Many people still assume that men with long hair are in some kind of subversive lifestyle (drinking, partying, drugging, etc.). Either that, or they're just seen as stoners and slackers. Unfortunate type of prejudice, but it still remains there, nevertheless.

I have no idea which "women's suffrage movement" you are referring to. I don't know of any such movement in 1960 (certainly wasn't in the U.S.). But there's some information on women's suffrage around the globe at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womens_suffrage#Timeline

not an easy answer, I would recommend reading "The Status Seekers" by Vance Packard, or the scaled down version (it is just selections from the book) "American Social Classes in the 1950's", edited by Daniel Horowitz

I think you mean culturally like how we viewed Eisenhower in the 50s and the early part of Kennedy,\n\nI would view the 90s in this way.  This is the era before the GWOT (war on terror) just like Eisenhower and Kennedy was just before vietnam.
