Counterculture Effects.
As the cold war moved into its third decade, cultural currents were changing, particularly among young people. Most continued to share and operate out of the values of their parents, but a significant group, located in large cities and around college campuses, began to reflect behavior that would be called counterculture. They left traditional religion behind them. In the face of the growing attraction of aspects of this set of attitudes, there were a variety of efforts to make religion more relevant to the needs and interests of the young. Malcolm Boyd's Are You Running with Me, Jesus? (1967) was one of the most dramatic evidences of these efforts.
Why would young people leave traditional religion behind during this time period? What was going on in the USA, socially, politically, or internationally, and even in our education system at that time which were catalysts for this movement? Start thinking about these things again because history repeats its self. Please opine in 50 words or less about as many or as few points that you want to discuss. Thanks and come back soon.
