bonjour
Je croyais qu'il n'y avait qu'un devoir en 2 parties mais en fait ce sont 2 sujets..
Je vais essayer de faire les 2 et tu choisiras.
2) Would you have liked to live in the 60's ?
Yes, I think I really would have liked to live at that time.
The young generation, in my opinion, was much more involved in what was happening. In the United States, it was the period of the Vietnam war. The Vietnam War began in 1954, but after a decade, many anti-Vietnam War demonstrations appeared. It began on American college campuses with "learns-in" and spread over with the Hippy movement , the Flower Power.
In France, May 1968 was a sort of repercussion of what had happened in the States. It was as well a protest movement which was political, social, economic and began as well among the students who wanted a change. They had slogans as "It's forbidden to forbid " , "Be young and shut up" and many more.
In England, the 60's were called "The swinging sixties" or "Swinging London" , or the "Diamond Decades". Fashion, music, everything was different.
I don't get actually the same involvement among our generation....
If we are still talking about that decade more than the 70's or 50's, I guess it's because young people had the feeling that something had to change and they made what they thought they had to.
It seems to me that technology has overflowed all kinds of feelings.
I would have liked to be more an actor than a viewer of my generation.
I still do it, I think, in my own small way, by getting involved in NGO's but I would have liked to be much more active.
I'm not fully satisfied, technology isn't my priority although I have to admit it's part of our society.
Definitely, I would have liked to live either in France or in The States in the 1960's
Bonne journée :)
