The Preamble quote that most specifically refers to natural rights: "[T]hey are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

John Locke was one of the first of the Enlightenment era philosophers.  The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason was in contrast to superstition and traditional beliefs.  The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so as to create the most beneficial conditions for society.  This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

The beat generation and rock-and-roll music influenced American Culture by
3241004551 [841]

They influenced  American Culture by questioning the existing state of affairs and contributing to the rise of the Civil Rights  Movement.

<em>The Beat Generation</em> was a new cultural and literary movement in the 1950's. They were behind the concept of non-conformity, questioning the existing values and beliefs in America. They were against materialism, a society that relies heavily on consumerism and materialistic gadgets. They advocated sexual freedom, social equality ( gender and racial ,) and they were against wars. The spiritual quest during one's life was of great importance to them.

<em>Rock and roll</em> impacted American culture by breaking down racial barriers. Not only because of some black artists but also because of both races listening to the same type of music. The music became the voice of the young, united against the war and questioning racial inequality, supporting free thinking and the freedom of expression.
