The 60's and 90's. Couple questions.?

Question

After the sexual rev. in the 60's I noticed that's quite a bit of people got married like 3-4 times after that hit. Why is this? Was this some kind of intentional act of rebillion and liberation? Getting married mutiple times "because you want to." Seem's kind of stupid and wreckless to me.
And 2 question, I've heard people say that the 90's was the age when you really noticed the effects of the sexual rev and revolution in general. A lot of people say that's when greed, obesession with youth/celerbity and instand gradification (sex)really picked up. Are these true statement's?

Answer 1

I think that you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. During the "sexual revolution" of the 1960s, many (not all, not even most) decided that it was okay to sleep around with anyone you chose - it was called free love. However, a lot of those people struggled with their families. Divorce and disfunctional familes became major problems - and why shouldn't that expected, since structure is necessary for any family to succeed. Other problems also haunted these people, including substance abuse.

By the 1990s, generational curses were transpiring. Children growing up with these parents likewise had issues. That's no surprise, seeing as their parents had instilled values in them that glorified "instant gratification," sex without reponsibility and experimentation with all sorts of things.

We, too, are a people that love instant gratification. By the 1990s, a structure of responsiblity and sane judgement was failing, and the 90s generation sucumbed to their own temptation. In the 1950s, this was much more rare as we had a stronger foundation of "values."

There was some history mixed in there with the sociology, but a lot of it is my educated opinion. I hope that helps you.

Answer 2

I have always thought that the baby boom generation born between 1945 and 1965 were more selfish, and rebellious than the generations before and after. The grew up when school were overcrowded, started working when jobs were scarce, and general lived in a more competitive world. The older ones came of age in the 60's and by the 90's they were the majority of the adult population.
