How did political events impact young people, and how did the youth culture impact the politics of the period? What caused the rise of student radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s?

In simple words. The campus revolution began at the University of California at Berkeley during 1964, after students participating in civil liberties advocacy quarreled at the college's apparent effort to prohibit them from protesting socially on campuses. The Free Expression Campaign was set up to oppose the university's limits on political activity and assemblies.

Many of these activist movements have been a big part of the New Alternative, a broad-based progressive force that opposes traditional forms of government, whilst some have adopted a subculture that advocates sexual emancipation and unbridled drug use.
