What were the main cultural trends in the 1980s and 1990s, and why did cultural conflict develop?

Question

Answer:

Answer 1

An ideal answer will include:
1. The answer should focus in part on generational conflict between traditional culture and an emerging culture. Young song writers and singers such as Madonna introduced new music and culture that challenged traditional music and culture. The emerging culture in the 1980s reflected protest.
2. Music such as the song "We Are The World" contained the message that we are members of a global society with social responsibility to help the poor.
3. Conservative critics such as Robert Bork argued that popular music and other cultural developments reflected hedonism, uninhibited sexuality, and popularization of violence. Even liberal critics such as Carl Rowan, "Tipper" Gore, and Robert Bellah criticized popular culture as violent, profane, and detrimental to the common good. Organizations on the religious right such as the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition were disturbed over liberal cultural trends which they viewed as rooted in the liberal reforms of the 1960s-1970s.
4. Conservative critics such as Patrick Buchanan viewed AIDS as the terrible consequence of immoral sexual behavior and the shared needle practice of intravenous drug users. The Gay community called for respect and better public education on AIDS.
5. Provide a concise and effective conclusion
