It led to the weakening of traditional moral values.
Explanation:
In the 1960s and 1970s counterculture swept through America and forever transformed it. It was based on a rejection of traditional patriarcal values. Sex had been demonized and prohibited before marriage by religion. The counterculture helped this prohibition end.
The Hippies, hipsters, beatniks and yuppies all promoted a liberation of sexuality. People such as Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg or Jack Kerouac helped promote this phenomenon.
