The 60s were characterized by social and political movements, such as the civil rights movement and the counterculture movement. The 70s saw the rise of disco and punk music, as well as the oil crisis and stagflation. The 80s were marked by materialism, technological advances, and the end of the Cold War.
The Civil Rights movement succeeded for several reasons. Television helped gain supporters for the movement. TV showed how some blacks were being treated. Take Bloody Sunday, for example. Many blacks were injured for peacefully marching in the streets. This event was shown on TV, and many Americans were appalled at what they saw. Great leaders of the civil rights movement such as Martin Luther King Jr. contributed to the success of the movement. The civil rights movement was also very organized. Strategies such as sit-ins, bus boycotts, freedom rides, and marches were organized, so many civil rights believers participated. Civil rights believers were very passive, too, which was an effective strategy.
