The counterculture of the 1960s refers to a cultural movement that mainly developed in the United States and the United Kingdom and spread throughout much of the western world between 1956 and 1974.The movement gained momentum ring the U.S.government's extensive military intervention in Vietnam.Many scholars of this era believe that the peak years of the counterculture movement were from 1965 to 1972.
As the 1960s progressed,widespread tensions developed in American society that tended to flow along generational lines regarding the war in Vietnam,race relations,sexual mores,women's rights,traditional modes of authority,experimentation with psychoactive drugs,and differing interpretations of the American Dream.New cultural forms emerged,including the pop music of the British band The Beatles and the concurrent rise of hippie culture,which led to the rapid evolution of a youth subculture that emphasized change and experimentation.In addition to the Beatles,many songwriters,singers and musical groups from the United Kingdom and America came to impact the counterculture movement.
In Trafalgar Square London in 1958 in an act of civil disobedience 60,000–100,000 peace loving protesters made up of students and pacifists converged in what was to become the “ban the Bomb” demonstrations out of which emerged one of the first counterculture groups.It is from this British group that the Peace symbol was designed and remains to this day the most recognized symbol of peace,freedom and hippiedom.
Social anthropologist Jentri Anders observed that a number of freedoms were endorsed within a countercultural community in which she lived and studied:"freedom to explore one’s potential,freedom to create one’s Self,freedom of personal expression,freedom from scheling,freedom from rigidly defined roles and hierarchical statuses...".Additionally,Anders believed some in the counterculture wished to modify children's ecation so that it didn't discourage,but rather encouraged,"aesthetic sense,love of nature,passion for music,desire for reflection,or strongly marked independence."
