Evaluate the ideals and values of the youth counterculture in the 1960s. Do you share any of its ideals and values? Which ones? Why? Do you think you would have shared its ideals and values if you had been a young person in the 1960s? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
The New Left's values included political activism, participatory democracy, and a skepticism of bureaucracies and established authority. It favored rapid social change and was active in the civil rights and antiwar (Vietnam) movements. The youth counterculture focused on changing self, rather than society. It rejected traditional American values like individualism, competition, materialism, and the work ethic. It valued sharing, and endorsed "sex, drugs, and rock and roll."
