[email protected]. HOW THE SEC CHANGED CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE SOUTH Collomp, Chase 1 Society today is very different from the late 1960s. We live in a very fast paced, complex world where if you are not trying everything to stay ahead of the curve, you’re falling behind. We now have classes as a group to reflect on how to be a better person in society and character counts seminars in schools. Back in the late 1960s times were less troubled in many ways but surprisingly crime was not one of them. Left Call did a study that in the early ‘60s by percentage of population, this was one of the worst times for crime in the country. 1960 saw the second highest rate in every major crime category other than murder. This ranged from rape, assault, and burglary (Sutton, February 23, 2012). Social media was non-existent back then and news did not spread like it does in the present.
