You may want to just ask one specific question related to the English language rather than multiple disconnected and generalized questions around culture and history.
Good luck with your homework :p

I'm a Baby Boomer. I might not be typical, I'm certainly not stereotypical. I wasn't a hippie. I have never liked rock music in general.
I liked the Beatles, though, and I still do. I liked the music of the folk revival of the 1960s--Pete Seeger; Arlo Guthrie; Peter, Paul and Mary; and I still do. I have heard Arlo Guthrie sing, twice, in the church near Stockbridge that he mentions in "Alice's Restaurant."
It is important to remember that the counterculture was a reaction to the Vietnam War and "the draft." ("The draft" was the forced induction of young men into the Army, whether they wanted to join or not).
Back then, I was distressed by the continuing existence of social problems, at a time when we were constantly being told how rich and successful the United States was. It seemed to me that if we could put a man on the moon, we ought to be able to do more about poverty. And, yes, I still feel that way.
