“popular culture in the 1960’s did more harm than good” Use the sources and your own knowledge to explain whether you agree with this view.
The 1960’s has caused many split opinions as to whether it was a bad or good influence on the young people in that era.
There are many people who thought the ‘60’s were a good influence sources A, D and I support this view. The quote ‘it was very heaven to be alive’ sums up the 1960’s for many people. The 1960s also brought a lot of new opportunities that the previous generation had not had such as television programmes in the advert in source D which shows the rising importance of the teenagers. Source I is very good at showing the good influence of the 60’s on the young people. However in source A may not be totally reliable as it was written in the 90’s and was from the opinion of someone who was looking at their childhood with fond memories.
