Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the history of classical music during the 20th century includes a rapid decline in public awareness. The writer points out that in the 1960s and the 1970s, the biggest names in classical composition were not well known, and their musical languages became more and more unique to themselves, to the point where their languages were as unique to them as their personalities.

"The sixties and the seventies were reflective times for composers, with no limelight or populist sentiment to react to. Though Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez were trained by Oliver Messiaen in Paris, their music couldn't be more distant from that master's sound. Hearing their work, Boulez and Messiaen are both detectably French ..."

Abstract
The following paper examines the cultural transformation that gripped Western and particularly American society during the 1960s. Chiefly, the paper examines the iconoclasm of the decade, the reaction against the "military-industrial" establishment, and the changing sexual roles and attitudes of the period. In closing, the paper suggests that the decade was a testament to the vibrancy of American culture.

From the Paper
"More so than any other decade of the twentieth century, he 1960s changed Western European and American society. From a loosening of moral strictures to anti-war protests to a re-definition of how American young people saw themselves in relationship to their government, the decade ushered in a new age and a new youth movement. The following paper will argue that the Sixties (particularly in America) was characterized by a transformation in sexual behavior, family and race relationships, attitudes towards authority, ideals and values. It was not an economic or political revolution, per se, but a cultural one (a seismic shift in attitude above all else) that touched all areas of American life. "

Abstract
This paper discusses how the 1960s were a time of great upheaval in American society. Politically and socially America changed dramatically in the years from 1960 to 1969 - especially in the latter half of the decade - and one of the areas most influenced by the wave of new attitudes and perspectives was human sexuality.This paper argues that the sexual revolution of the 1960s emerged because of a confluence of factors.

This paper examines how the decades of the 50s and 60s are so influential on American culture today. It looks are the period of turbulent change and the icons of rebellion still visible today.

"The 1950s and the 1960s had very distinct and indelible influences on present day America. The 1950's were the source of a great many classic American stereotypes. In contrast, the 1960's were a time of cultural upheaval and rebellion. Together, both of these decades helped to shape the music, culture, and political events of the 1990s and beyond."

"Civil Rights Laws of 1960s
This research paper discusses the origins, progress, aftermath and implications of the principal federal civil rights legislation passed in the 1960s, primarily the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the '64 Act) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (the '65 Act).


The '64 and '65 Acts were enacted during the administration of President Lyndon Johnson. They represented a culmination of a long struggle by the civil rights movement for recognition of the legal and political rights of African Americans. The effective mobilization by black leaders of opposition to Southern segregation and discrimination coupled with the intransigent and brutal tactics employed by Southern extremists helped generate public support for new civil rights legislation, which was..."

"ROLE OF THE IRA IN NORTHERN IRELAND IN THE 1960S AND 1970S

This research paper discusses the factors which led to the re-emergence of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) as a significant force in the late 1960s and early 1970s in connection with the disturbances and movements (the Troubles) which arose in Northern Ireland. The Catholic minority in Northern Ireland took to the streets in the late 1960s to protest its political and economic grievances against the established Ulster authorities and the dominant Protestant majority. That protest failed to accomplish its objectives in 1968-1969 because of Protestant intransigence and paramilitary violence. The British intervened militarily to restore order but only hesitantly pushed Ulster to initiate reforms.

Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of the 1960s on American culture. The writer touches on many of the reform actions of the era and discusses their strategies as opposed to the strategies that had passed before it. Some of the topics discussed in this paper are the women's movement, the sexual revolution, the protest movements, the Vietnam War and how they affect the shape of our lives today.

From the Paper
"One of the most important things to come of the 1960's
was the explosion known as the women's movement. Until the 1960's, women had quietly put up with having their work treated as less important than a man's work, being paid less money for the same work that men were doing, and being treated as if they were less intelligent than their male counterparts(Evans, 1980). The 1960's changed all of that and changed it in the biggest leap in American history. The women of the nation discovered they not only had a voice and a right to use it, but they were actually quite adept at becoming political activists for the cause of sisterhood (Evans, 1980)."

"Modernism is a term applied retroactively to certain literary and artistic trends at the beginning of the twentieth century. Certain modernist characteristics can be discerned in post-1960 culture. Contemporary culture seems less to have gone on to new concerns and issues than it seems to have institutionalized certain modernist characteristics as if they had meaning in their own right. In a sense, though, they are used to avoid meaning altogether or to give the illusion of meaning where there is none. The disjointed time sense, the flight from the conventions of realism, and the adoption of complex new forms and styles in the modernist period were undertaken to provide new meaning, to illuminate the world in a different way, and to show different relationships within the observed world. Aspects of the trend can be discerned in three.."
