The idea of "the great society" was to basically to create a utopia, in the past, utopias have tried to be accomplished before, but it has ended it is in a mess.
The "Great Society" has affected lives today in many ways. One way it has effected us today, is back then civil rights (equality) was really pushed during this time, and has made it so that now, everyone is equal and there is no discrimination against any race or culture. Although there still is slight discrimination, it is no where near as bad as it was back then. Another way it has affected us today is the healthcare. Health care back then created Medicare and medicaid. The health care we have today was from the basic idea of health care back then. Now we have what is so called "Obama Care". The government is involved in our lives.
