The 1960’s

The 1960’s was a revolutionary time in global history marked by major shifts in cultural norms and expectations. The standards in almost every aspect of life were being called into question.

Baby Boomers Following WW11, there was a significant increase in global population size. This increase in youth population had a major effect on the 1960’s. New ideas, hopes, and challenges lead to a great deal of change during the time of the “Baby Boomers” youth.

Some of this change included the anti-war movement, feminism, civil rights movement, mass protests, and anti-establishment marches.
