Posts: 565 12/01/2009 2:27 PM	Tags : None I'm writing a college research paper on the effects of the Counterculture of the 1960's on society today. The main areas that I am covering are civil rights, civil liberties, drugs (culture, usage, laws), music, sex (feminist movement goes along with this one). I've been asking friends for input so I thought I would ask here because there are always plenty of opinions to go around. I'm not in a jam or anything, I have a pretty good grasp on the paper so far and have about another week to finish it. I'm just interested in hearing what you all think are the biggest effects, most interesting points I could make, etc... It's a pretty loose topic but its enjoyable to write about. The only problem is that the sources I have found on this are kind of hit or miss. I appreciate any input on the subject that anyone might have. Thanks.

Posts: 566 12/01/2009 3:38 PM	haha thanks. wikipedia actually does help for getting an idea for the outline of the paper, however paraphrasing it alone wont give me a 10pg paper that needs to have internal citations and will be checked on turnitin.com. I'm a senior and have a pretty good idea on how to write this. I'm just interested in hearing opinions on different aspects of the subject. Maybe its too early in day for this. Check back and contribute when you guys get home from work and can inhale some inspiration

Every topic that I cover has to someway connect to its effect on society today. My first draft focused too much on just explaining what happened instead of making the connections to the present and analyzing the effect. This connection part does allow for an ample amount of bullshitting but I would like to infuse a solid number of facts and opinions supported by facts

I don't expect that you'd read the whole thing but if you skimmed through it you might find something worth using. We had to read the whole thing and personally, I thought it was quite dull.
