The Sixties.
My Experiment.
I want to talk about the decade of the sixties, because of the amazing period in the social, cultural, and political history in the USA.

All my life I have been thinking that some time, maybe in another life, I was a woman who lived in North America. In most of my dreams, I am a professional woman who lived in the sixties and went through the feminist movement that improved the American women’s lives.
I love the sixties, because many of the revolutionary ideas, which began in that decade, are still developing. I think that people who lived in this period of the history are very lucky. They lived very important changes, like the civil rights that began peacefully, with Martin Luther King. Obviously the out-standing women liberation movements, the cold war, and the space race.

Another important movement were the hippies, who were mostly young people who rejected established institutions. They were so opposed to the nuclear weapons and the Vietnam War, and they even raised their ideologies about the sexual revolution.
One of the topics that I would like to emphasize is what Martin Luther King Jr. did to give justice for racism, discrimination and segregation in the USA. I loved the way that King appealed to "white Americans" to have tolerance and create conscience among the people in order to have a better nation.

He took the Bible as inspiration for writing his speeches, because he thought that was the greatest source to learn and teach values.
Finally, I can say that the sixties carried all the things relating to crime, drugs abused by the hippies, war with Vietnam, and endless years of complex racial discrimination. Still, because of the sixties, the United States is more open, more tolerant and a free country.
