My name is unya, I'm writing a school paper about hippie mouvement and I have 5 questions. thanks you in advance for your help. 1. What are beliefs of hippie mouvement? 2. What are others fight of hippie mouvement? 3. What are the reasons that this movement doesn't exists today? 4. Do you think in 2015, hippie mouvement exist ? 5. How and Why this mouvement start?
1,2 and 5 you can google #3: it doesn't exist because the younger generation are self righteous, feel entitled and only believe what their 10,000 fb/twitter/instagram "friends" believe or do. #4: not in 2015. why? kim kardashian, "reality tv", what celebrity is dating who, FB, Obama, how to diet, how to live. No identity and the false belief that we are not sheeple when in fact, we are. There is a movement, a Social Media movement were it dictates what our beliefs are and should be in accordance with the other 10,000 "Friends" IMO a true hippie wants to raise his own animals, plant and tend his own crops, live in his own house peacefully and freely. It is not about "dressing" the part with vines in your hair and flowers painted on your face, yoga classes, taking some MDMA and pretending to know who Ralph Waldo Emerson or Alan Watts and others are. Read both, not about them but by them this way you get their own point of view not a critics view of what they ment Hippy isn't just a 60's movement it is about freedom to live how we are intended to live which has been a struggle since ancient times. So really the Hippy "movement" has been happening well before religion was fazed in to squash our freedoms, beliefs and IDENTITY. again my opinion, I am sure some will have a different point of view and that is what there should be, Freedom of our own Ideas and opinions.
you should be reading and coming to your own conclusions on these questions...... instead you should ask ''what are some good movies and books featuring hippy types that I can use in my research'' welcome to the site....start with the movie ''woodstock''
in Canada and don't get that channel many true hippies still out there...old tiger for one....many right on this site that have recounted stories about being in the height ashbury scene at its height and partying with some very famous folk not i though....i;m kind of a watered down version of post hippie hippie
