Answer:

The Beat Generation was a literary movement started by a group of authors whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-war era. The bulk of their work was published and popularized throughout the 1950s. The central elements of Beat culture are the rejection of standard narrative values, making a spiritual quest, the exploration of American and Eastern religions, the rejection of economic materialism, explicit portrayals of the human condition, experimentation with psychedelic drugs, and sexual liberation and exploration.[1][2]

Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch (1959), and Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957) are among the best known examples of Beat literature.[3] Both Howl and Naked Lunch were the focus of obscenity trials that ultimately helped to liberalize publishing in the United States.[4][5] The members of the Beat Generation developed a reputation as new bohemian hedonists, who celebrated non-conformity and spontaneous creativity.

how were the reasons for creating the colony of Georgia different from the reasons for creating the other English colonies​
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Georgia was ultimately established in 1732 to protect South Carolina and other southern colonies from Spanish invasion through Florida but England was looking at the settlement of colonies as a way of fulfilling its desire to sell more goods and resources to other countries than it bought. ... At the same time, colonies could be markets for England's manufactured goods. England knew that establishing colonies was an expensive and risky business.
