1960s Society
When finished, please choose 3 of the questions below to answer and upload to the JFK/LBJ discussion assignment on Tii. Due by 3:00 pm Friday April 24th. Remember that your rough draft is also due Friday so manage your time to make sure both get done. These questions should not take more than 10 minutes.
- Do you agree with the way Kennedy handled the Cuban missile crisis? Why or why not?
- What is another example of a time when the public reacted strongly to the death of a public figure? Why do we connect to people we don't know in this way?
- Which LBJ's Great Society programs do you think were most beneficial? Why? (Feel free to use your book to get a little more info on each one)
- What is the government's role in society? How much government regulation is too much? Which of LBJ's programs do you think went too far?
- Compare 1950s nonconformists to the 1960s counterculture. How did the nonconformists contribute/lead to the counterculture?
- What effect do you think the counterculture and the Warren court will have on mainstream society?
You will have time to work on your paper later this week. However, you are at the stage where this would have been at home work. As such we recommend you spend about some time each day preparing your rough draft. Keep your mental health in mind and don't overdo it. Email us if timing becomes an issue for you.
