In the 1940s, 50s and 60s the two youth movements of the beats and the hippies emerged in the United States. Disagreeing with the progressive positivism of the previous generations these youths were part of a counter culture that adhered to an ideal of living in the present.Alan Wilson Watts (1915?1973), most known for his popularization of eastern philosophy and religion in general and Zen-Buddhism in particular, became one of the most influential and well-read advocates of the new movements. Drawing upon eastern philosophy and religion as well as modern psychology, Watts challenged the western world view by rejecting the dualism of self and environment, arguing that man is one with God and nature and claiming that nothing exists but the present experience here and now.Based on Watts? view of man and reality, and in the context of the emerging youth movements, this study examines Watts? criticism of western culture and society as well as his view on happiness and the possibility of a better life for the individual living in the west.The study shows that, according to Watts, the root of the problem facing western society lies in man?s incapability of distinguishing concept from reality, preferring abstract ideas and symbols to the experience present in Everyday life.

Amning väcker ofta starka känslor och har förändrats genom tiderna. Från att ha varit något naturligt blev amningen omgärdad av regler på 1800-talet. Reglerna gjorde amningen svår att upprätthålla vilket ledde till att synen på amning förändrades till något besvärligt. Antalet ammande kvinnor sjönk som en följd av detta. Amning har flera positiva hälsoeffekter för både kvinnor och barn och forskare hittar fortlöpande nya positiva effekter.
