Did the counterculture’s emphasis
on personal freedom improve or damage American society?
Explanation-
the counterculture of the 1960s refers to the counterculture supported by a loosely connected yet large community of people who, in their strength of numbers, powerful personalities, creative or destructive works, politics, and/or other activities, served as counterpoints to the existing "establishment" of "powers that be" in American society during the 1960s and early 1970s.
the historical timeline primarily consists of the period between 1957 and 1973 that began in the United States as a reaction against the conservative government, social norms of the 1950s, the perceived social repression of the Cold War period, segregation and discrimination against African Americans, and the U.S. Government's extensive military intervention in Vietnam.
