Explanation:
The term "counterculture" is used to refer to cultures with opposite rules, values, norms, etc. to the main culture. This term was adopted during the 20th century to describe multiple movements that did not follow the general culture. This included movements such as the Hippie movement and the Counter culture of the 60s that were widely influenced by the Beat Generation or Beat Writers that were a group of writers whose narrative and themes were against the established style. Indeed, the Beat writers focused on rejecting the war, and exploring sexuality, drugs, and the human condition; these ideas influenced multiple counterculture of the 20th century such as the counterculture of the 60s, the hippie movement, and the anti-war movement. Thus, one of the origins of the counterculture ideas came from the Beat writers.

Enlightened despots were kings and queens who tried to incorporate the ideas of the Enlightenment into their rule, while keeping their traditional powers. Enlightened despots such as Frederick II of Prussia and Maria Theresa of Austria tried to improve areas such as farming, industry, and education. They were also patrons of the arts and began many humanitarian reforms, like abolishing the use of torture. Maria Theresa's son,
Joseph II, was considered the most radical of the enlightened despots because of the extreme changes he made when he came to power in 1780. (Image: Courtesy of Wikipedia) Joseph II abolished serfdom, made taxes equal for both nobles and peasants, and granted freedom of the press to writers. He also confiscated Catholic Church property and used the money to build hospitals. His actions ultimately failed because he angered too many people. Nobles rebelled against him and he was forced to cancel many of these changes.
