Countering The Counter Culture | Theodore Dalrymple

In both Britain and Australia, the impact of the 1960s social revolution has been felt on the lowest rungs of society; where family breakdown, welfare dependence, drug and alcohol abuse, crime, and child maltreatment are most prevalent.

Yet the default cultural assumptions — held widely across politics, government, the media, and academia — are still shaped by the socially permissive ethics of the 60s: the idea that the erosion of traditional restraint on social behaviour represents an unadulterated victory for personal liberation.

Many in positions of authority thus struggle to acknowledge the social reality of dysfunction and degradation, let alone summon the will to do anything about the social chaos that is staring them in the face.

This special CIS event — featuring acclaimed UK commentator Theodore Dalrymple and CIS Senior Research Fellow Dr Jeremy Sammut — will discuss how and why the counter-culture must be countered so that ‘society’ stops presiding over the chaos and starts to eradicate it instead.
