    How many "movements" were there befor the 60's? People actually learned what they were being taught, and decided to have minds of their own. As a boomer: 52', I saw in the 60's a chance to learn and educate, with a profound sense of connectivity to others on many levels. For me, 68' was and end. 69', Vietnam. 72', college. Rest of my life: struggling every lousy damn day. I have hade four great careers, and may get in one more before retiring. {Oops! bad word!}
    Today;s "slackers" and Gen-whatevers, need to learn about being well rounded in many areas.
