Answer: television

Answer 3

Answer: Counterculture youth during the 1960s would have questioned the traditional mores of American society, especially those concerning materialism and sexual attitudes. Important influences on their attitude and behavior would have included painters such as Warhol, and rock musicians. They would probably have experimented with drugs following the lead of such persons as Leary and Kesey, and they would probably have attended music festivals.

Answer 4

Answer: Demographic patterns lay behind much of the student movement as more young people attended college. Coming from middle-class homes they had time to experiment before going into the working world. Many became involved with such issues as civil rights, free speech, and opposition to the Vietnam War. Many joined such organizations as Students for a Democratic Society. They participated in many campus protests and sit-ins to dramatize their demands.

Answer 5

Answer: When he came into office, the Central Intelligence Agency had developed plans to overthrow the communist government in Cuba, the plan that failed with the Bay of Pigs invasion, embarrassing Kennedy. When the United States discovered that the Soviets had placed missiles in Cuba, Kennedy declared a blockade of Cuba to prevent it, and brought the United States and the Soviets to the brink of war.
