It changed the world we lived in. It may have all ready started to change, but his death made it seem like it happened in hours. The early 1960's was a time of idealism and a everyone thought the future was bright. Vietnam wasn't a big issue, there was talk of going to the moon, the Kennedy family was young and fresh, and there was hope. The day he was shot was the "day the music died." It became a turning point and it seemed soon enough our boys were dieing in Vietnam as well as other problems.
