Youth Sub-Culture: Hippies 1960s

The Hippies movement began in the 1960. It consisted of white teenagers, young adults between the ages of 15-25They opposed political and social orthodoxy and believed that society was corrupt. Their philosophy was to live in peace by resolving differences among people, ideologies and religion. In order to do that they believed that we should be loving and tolerant. They also believed in accepting others as they are and giving people freedom yo express themselves. Lastly, they proposed that we should not judge others based on their appearance. 

Hippies listened to bands and artists such as the Swinging Blue Jeans, Beatniks and The Beatles.

How do we define the term 'Hippies'? The media represents hippies through their clothing, long hair and tendencies. They help people identify hippies by establishing a link between hippies and drugs, alcohol and sleeping on park benches. Whereas the dictionary define hippie as 'those who don't conform to society's standards'. Here are some images that show hippies and some symbols that are associated with them:
