1960's - Change in America

I viewed the conditions existing in the 1960s creating so many social movements as a result of an era where people were confronting the wrong things happening within America or outside with American involvement. It was sort of a domino effect where if one movement started huge in accomplishing their goals, than another supported movement with happen and so on and on. The 1960’s was a time period for change and many were willing to have that, but some people didn't want that to happen. Most of the movements occurring in the 1960’s were long-lasting tensions of problems in America. There was segregation, the view of mental-illness in homosexuals, the view of woman as property, etc. I see as when one of these tensions in America exploded and exposed itself movement, others were very influenced to do the same for what they suffered long from and want to fight for change. The African-Americans have wanted to be equal as the whites since the time slavery was abolished in America, the Anti-war movement was growing in protestors tremendously since the start of America's involvement in the Vietnam War, and Women's Rights were women for many years felt the inequality between them and men and knew they deserve the rights to do want they feel, whether its being in the kitchen or doing something totally different.
