The chaotic events of the 60's, including war and social change, seemed destined to continue in the 70's. Major trends included a growing disillusionment of government, advances in civil rights, increased influence of the women's movement, a heightened concern for the environment, and increased space exploration. Many of the "radical" ideas of the 60's gained wider acceptance in the new decade, and were mainstreamed into American life and culture. Amid war, social realignment and presidential impeachment proceedings, American culture flourished. Indeed, the events of the times were reflected in and became the inspiration for much of the music, literature, entertainment, and even fashion of the decade.
Social change, what the parents of the 50's tried to change for the soldiers that had returned home,their children decided it was time for social change. Their desire for social change, fighting against a war that was never labeled a war. The hypocrisy of change, government and what the world had to offer. This also affected weddings, free love, Wood Stock, drinking, drugs, civil rights. All things combine brought change no one ev though they would.
