Q

Why did the student movement emerge? Legacy of 1950s

A

Was a decade of frustration and anger for many young Americans

They wanted to rebel against everything; especially what their parents believed

Their frustration led to heavy drinking and the formation of teenage gangs- the media fuelled this rebellious attitude

Films like ‘a rebel without a cause’ and the introduction of rock and roll led the way
