Příspěvek k problematice studentských hnutí v šedesátých letech ve Spojených státech amerických

Hochmuth, Daniel

Student movements are without question an integral part of the 1960s. University rebels were so loud and radical that they were impossible to overlook. The sources of their activism were numerous - young generation grown up in an affluence of the post-war western world; the young people inherited moral values of their parents, and, finally, they felt obligated to eliminate evil and inequity in society. It was no easy goal, because American society of the 1950s and 1960s was conservative and resented change; the work inside the Movement was therefore frustrating. Continually confronted with inequity and injustice in the world, as well as with the feelings of failure and alienation in their lives, student radicals became restless and angry. Demonstrations and protests often ended up in violent confrontations with police forces. As the 1960s drew to a close, most of the students' ideals were gone and all that was left was anger and frustration. Movement split into several factions that were no longer able to cooperate; some of them fell apart in little time, some of them turned to even more radical and violent tactics. In spite of that, we can still say that student movements were an important part of the 1960s world and in many ways helped to form the society, which we live in today.
