Week 9: USA (Unit 9 – Social Movements of the 1960’s)

For my students at the Hunan Institute of Science & Technology ( 湖南理工学院 ) who are taking the course: “The Society and Culture of Major English-Speaking Countries ( 英语国家社会与文化入门 ) : An Introduction (Book Two / Second Edition)

This week’s lesson covered unit 9  from the textbook which is about Social Movements of the 1960’s.  We took a look at what is meant by “social movement” and then we discussed briefly why the 1960’s were so active with social movements.  The remainder of the class dealt with the three main movements of the 60’s; The Civil Rights Movement, The Women’s Rights Movement, and the Youth / Anti-War Movement (aka Hippie Movement.)
