The American Age
The Rebellion and Reaction in the
1960s and 1970s
Introduction
Historians have often mentioned the fact that twentieth-century science
and technology was influenced every aspect of the lives of the American
people. To secure radical interests, the twentieth-century young generation
makes different movements in America. Different problems were expressed
through their youth rebellions which made a variety of social crises that
affected the normal living environment of America.
Often American youth misused these facilities, but they led very decisive life
and made disturbances to the elder generation. Sometimes, youth deviated
through new ways of modern life of the twentieth century causing their
alienation from other sections. Alienation is one of the important causes of
their violence. Some youth were very aggressive and made problems. Youth
revolutions in the 1920s initiated in the college campuses and gradually
increased youth movements. Youth movement allowed the youth to express
their ideas and feelings into action. The young generation tried to change
their malicious ideas and feelings into actions.

In the modern period, youth culture is gradually developed and redolent at
best. It is found in the public records describing young men’s misbehaviors.
During 1920 some young American people started following the bad
behaviors and very tricky attitudes. The civil rights and antiwar movement
points out that the energies of youth rebellions in that period. By late 1960,
American youth rebellions utterly change their living environment.
The article The Rebellion and Reaction in the 1960s and 1970s entitled that
“Youthful rebels—dubbed hippies—defied parental authority and college
officials. In “dropping out” of conventional society, they grew long hair,
wore eccentric clothes, gathered in urban or rural communes, used mind-
altering drugs, relished “hard” rock music, and engaged in casual sex”
(Rebellion and reaction in the 1960s and 1970s, n.d.,para.3).
They dropped their life and they utterly changed their lifestyle. They grew
long hair and wore dark and long clothes. They also met in urban and rural
group homes and took new decisions. Their lives were more complicated
and very dangerous. These rebellions were making different problems in
those periods. They used drugs and alcohol in their everyday life. They liked
to hear hard, rock, and complicated music. All the rebellions engaged in
hasty and illegal sexual activities. So, the youth suffered different problems
in those periods. During the middle of 1960, the youth rebellions spread
their cruelty all over the world.
The youth revolts spread from the rural to urban areas and extended to the
southern college campuses across the nation. Historians have documented
that in the 1920s and 1960s; the youth suffered the problems of alienation
that, alienation is a powerful feeling of isolation and loneliness. The online
article Alienation explained that “They attribute this alienation to a variety
of societal conditions: the rapid changes in society during this period, the
increase in alcohol and drug abuse, violence in the media, or the lack of
communal values in the culture at large.” (Alienation. (2001, para.2).
