Culture comprises of practices

The issue of whether there was a cultural revolution during the sixties depends on what constitutes a counter culture, and whether the activities that took place fall within this definition, and did they go as far as to create a cultural revolution. Culture comprises of practices and products as well as attitudes and values. Roszak offered an insightful viewpoint on a youth culture which he wrote 'radically diverges from values and assumptions that have been the mainstream of our society'.

It has been through cultural contact, that entire civilizations have been destroyed and disappeared while others just have combined, reconciled and coalesced their mutually opposed beliefs and practices into a new conglomerate whole marked by internal inconsistencies. When these cultures blend, a new generation, with its own idiosyncrasy, emerges, different from where it originated, just as the result of new languages, mixture between races, together with the evolution of religions.
