media type="custom" key="6281291"different and detailed reasons why people began to protest the war in Vietnam

The United States had no business propping up a corrupt and unpopular dictatorship in Vietnam, even if it is in the name of fighting communism.

People were opposed to war no matter what war it was. The media made the war more real and people did not like what they saw. Most of the protests were against the draft. Most kids just didn't want to go over to Vietnam and get killed

They believed it didn't affect us. The government said it was a war on communism, and it was, but it was definitely not worth the cost of life and money that war took.

2) 3  different and detailed methods people used to protest the war

Hippie’s acts of protest took the form of free concerts and experimentation with mind-expanding drugs. Another form of protest was Flower Power, which was peaceful protesting. Hippies wanted peace, love, spiritual awakening, and communal values.  Returning veterans began to speak out against the war in large numbers. Some even returned their medals. Some organized as the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, some deserted the war.

Protests were in the form of teach-ins, which combined protest with education and in some cases were treated by participants as an occasion of festivity. 

3) 3  descriptions of different people or groups of people who protested the war in Vietnam Hippies were young people of the 1960s that were seen as passionate idealists seeking to establish a more equitable and loving world.

Yippies, which stands for the Youth International Party, were like hippies, but more extreme. They would resort to outrageous behavior such as acting like a clown and dressing like Santa Claus. They also were pro drugs and were very vocal about it.

The Weathermen was a radical faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) that advocated violent means to alter American society. Its protest activities included petition drives and draft resistance training. The philosophical foundations of the Weathermen were Marxist in nature. Militant struggle was the key to striking out against the state and building a revolutionary consciousness among the young, particularly the white working class.
