1960s analysis |

‘What took place in the 1960s was nothing less than a ‘social revolution’. ... During the 1960s there was huge social upheaval in many areas of society. ... Therefore although there was great ‘social change’, what took place in the 1960s was less than a ‘social revolution’, it was an ‘ideological revolution’ Change in society most often comes from a change in the way the we think, therefore changes to education would demonstrate a social upheaval. In the 1960s various educational reforms were passed which both made education more widely available, and the education received far more structured. ... Other changes were then made continually into the 1960s and afterwards. ... The most well documented example of a so called ‘social revolution’ in the 1960s was the youth movement. ... The main reason that the changes made by teenagers were perceived as a ‘revolution’ is because they were so different from what came before, yet as part of their rebellion the youth of the 1960s purposely chose to be the antithesis of their parents. ... The most important change that occurred during the 1960s in terms of teenagers was the realisation that this age existed at all. ... The 1960s also marked a de-liberalisation of Britain’s race relations. ... Therefore it would be very difficult to describe the changes of the 1960s as a ‘social revolution’ in reference to race relations, the laws passed had been pending for some time and in reference to immigration Britain actually became less liberal. ... However, although in the 1960s women did begin to question the image prescribed to them, the male dominated society was less than happy to adjust to their new image. ... This has been celebrated as one of the main success of the feminism movement of the 1960s and yet in 1970 women’s average hourly wage was still only 63% that of men’s. ... Overall it would be an exaggeration to say that the changes in the position of women in society were part of a ‘social revolution’ in the 1960s. |
