Education by Juan Luchsinger A revolution in education took place in the 1960s. The federal government became more education-oriented, with the Presidents JFK and Lyndon Johnson creating new programs for education. Segregation was still being imposed on schools, but at this time diversity was starting to be emphasized and the struggle for civil rights was reaching its peak. Thousands of students protested segregation and the Vietnam War at many different college campuses. At that time, a problem with a lot of people who were drafted was that they were under-educated due to being drafted out of school. Many students demonstrated and petitioned to the world, and their protests led to the end of many long-standing camp regulations.

Fashion by Juan Luchsinger The 60s featured a number of diverse trends. There were lots of bright and swirling colors, psychedelic tie-dye shirts, and long hair and beards. Women wore short skirts and men wore tunics and capes. The mini skirt was an iconic part of the 60s and was popularised by Mary Quant, a famous fashion designer. Fashion designers also loved new man-made materials and exploited the potential of modern plastics and synthetic fibers to create eye-catching outfits. High-end fashion embraced the new mood of informality.

Film and Theatre by Juan Lazcano
The 60s was the first real decade where movies and film were coming to popularity. At this point almost every American family had a television which allowed the market to expand greatly. Soap operas played often on tv and Western movies were very popular. One main movie that was published during the 60s was “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly�. It became the classic western movie and is still popular to this day. It also began the trend of horror movies with PSYCHO in 1962 telling a story of a maniac killer on the loose. Another classic released in the 60s was One Hundred and One Dalmatians and was a great hit by Disney. At this point Disney had released many other films like Sleeping Beauty and Bambi so Disney had already become a household name.

Food
by Jose Alvarez The food in the 60s was really different to now as the trends were very different and many receptors were either not thought of or simply people didn't think they would be successful. One trend back then was meatballs with jelly, which honestly seems horrible as it is meat with different types of jellies like grape or raspberry jelly. Not only this but they also had salads or fruits encased in gelatin. This I also can't really understand as you can't accidentally make
this but the meatball with jelly you can. As you guys can see the food trends were very different compared to now as we now have sushi, grilled meat, meat sushi, and lots of different combinations.

Culture by Juan Luchsinger The culture of the 1960s was once branded as immoral, anarchistic, and revolutionary, but is now playfully imitated as a “party theme.� The youth culture liked celebrating freedom and rebellion.
There was a lot of new technology by then: people were going into space, televisions were more of a dominant household item than a novelty, and the world’s first heart plant was performed. But the Vietnam War, misogyny, and segregation led to many protests and civil rights movements. People also started losing trust in the government. The 60s were a time of change and rebellion.

Sports by Juan Lazcano
The 60s was a very important decade for all sports, from American football to the Olympic games. Starting in the US, American football finally expanded to accept more teams when the AFL league was created. This creation of a second league made it more competitive and made the NFL more interesting. Also in the 60s, six olympic games happened. 3 summer and 3 winter games were held in Italy, USA, France, Mexico, Austria, and Japan. Also in the 60s, 2 FIFA World Cups were held. The first one was in Chile on 1962. This was the 7th world cup and 16 teams competed in it. The Finalists where Yugoslavia and Brazil and Brazil won the game 3-1. On the next world cup of 1966, England hosted and won their only world cup against West Germany. The cup again hosted 16 teams and was the 8th world cup. 6

Way We Lived By Jose Alvarez
The way people lived in the 60s was so much more different from the way we lived now, there were lots of protests about civil rights and the treatment differences. Not only this but the Vietnam war was going on, so that just added onto the protests and anger of citizens about the government and how America was set up. To add on to the protests women started protesting, saying that they didn't have enough rights- which to be honest they didn't- so it was a big era filled with protests. Lots of people were also animal activists and who wanted to fight for animal rights and that hunting was murder, which honestly it kind of is.

Government/Politics by Jacob Kantor
Government In the 1960s John F. Kennedy had sought to eliminate injustice and inequality. Unfortunately, Kennedy was assassinated. Lyndon Johnson took over and created a bunch of programs to help out the poor.
Politics A lot of Black people protested to get more civil rights. All these protests led President Lyndon Johnson to pass the civil rights act of 1964. This act prohibited discrimination in public places, and it gave the Justice Department permission to sue states that discriminated against women and minorities and promised equal opportunities in the workplace to all people no matter what race.

Law and Justice by Jose Alvarez Law and order wasn't really different as it served the same purpose, to serve and protect, but they were also caught up in the war and protests so crimes may have increased at times and decreased at times. Lots of police brutality as many police officers were still barreling the fact that African Americans were protesting for more rights and because of this they took advantage of the riots, hurting them, saying that it became violent and that the riots were dangerous when in fact they weren't, and they just used it as cover. Because of the police brutality that had been going on, courts finished the power of police officers so there wouldn't be any more mass deaths during protests.

Foreign Affairs by Juan Lazcano
Vietnam War During the the 60s the Vietnam war was happening. The war was beginning to build up and the US was sending troops by 1961. By mid 1962, the total troops in South Vietnam were about 12,000. By the time Kennedy was shot, there were about 16,000 troops. All continued like this until 1964 when something called the Gulf of Tonkin incident gave the USA an excuse to begin the war. An American naval ship was sailing on the coast of Vietnam when it was hit by a missile causing major damage. 11
Foreign Affairs by Juan Lazcano This incident gave the president the complete war power without having to start the war which meant that the Vietnam War. This act was highly controversial because when the president commanded his troops to attack, war was never declared by Congress. Other than Vietnam, the US was leading with communism in cuba too. The 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion was an attempt by the US government to take out communist regime in Cuba. The Plan consisted of arming Cuban immigrants and putting them on the island as a distraction that way the military could come in and kill Castro. The plan failed when the air support to kill Castro was called of by the president the world will never know why.

Domestic Affairs by Jacob Kantor
Court Cases In 1962, there were still unequal voting situations, so the court case Baker vs Carr was made to make sure that all peoples votes were equal. In 1966, the Miranda rights were created because citizens argued in the court case of Miranda vs Arizona that they should be read the rights they have when they are arrested. Also, in 1967, in Loving vs Virginia, argued that interracial marriage is not unconstitutional. 13
Domestic Affairs CONTINUED by Jacob Kantor
The Black Power Movement Martin Luther King’s peaceful protests were supported by most of the African Americans who were protesting. The Black Power Movement expressed all the frustrations and problems that African Americans had. Malcolm X told all African Americans that they should be proud to be black and should separate from the rest of the white society. He influenced many people to protest and get court cases.
Women’s Rights Feminism became more common in the 1960s, so Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique was created. This association was created so women would be encouraged to break free from typical roles and seek something more. JFK realized upbringing of the problem he created the Presidential of Commision to show the differences in rights that the men and women have. Also, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was created and stated that there can't be sexual as well as racial discrimination in hiring for jobs.

Book Review by Jose Alvarez Many good books were published in the 60s but one that many school children still read is The Giving Tree. The Giving Tree is a short book written by Shel Silverstein about a kid and his tree who gives apples, despite all the tree gives to the kid he still helps him throughout his life. When he gets married, he must build a house and the tree gets cut down in order to give the kid wood. Even when the tree has given all he possibly can to the kid, he still believes he hasn't given enough, then the kid returns as an old man he says he wants a quiet place to sit and rest, he sits on the stump and the tree was happy. After reading this book I believe it shows children the value of helping others and that one little thing can go a long way to help another person.
