The Hippie and Other Movements in The 1970s

The 1970s was a period of American chaos. In a sense, this decade is the continuation of the 1960 's. Women, African-Americans, Native Americans, lesbians, homosexuals, and other alienated groups continue to fight for freedom, but many other Americans are participating in demonstrations against the ongoing Vietnam War I will. As a result of these movements, the identity of the country in the 1970s changed, including changes in social value. These social changes also appeared in the fashion world, offering new perspectives in the field of clothing for men and women.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Hippie was also a member of the hippie, opposed to the counter culture movement that refused the mainstream American life. The campaign began on the campus of the American university, but also spread to other countries including Canada and the UK. This name is the name of "hip" (Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac etc) used in the beat of the 1950s, and is often considered as the predecessor of Hippie. Part of this movement was due to America's involvement in the Vietnam War (1955-75), but Hippies often participated directly in politics rather than their activists are known as "Yippies" (Youth International Party) There was not.

Like Wandervogel, the American hippie movement began with a youth movement. Hippies are mainly composed of white teenagers and young people between the ages of 15 and 25. In the late 1950s, they inherited the cultural opposition tradition of bohemian and beat generations. Beats like Alan Ginsberg go through the movement of the beat and become a fixture for a new hippie and antiwar movement. By 1965, Hippie became a mature social group in the United States, and the movement eventually spread to the rest of the world ranging from Britain to Europe, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. The spirit of Hippy affected the Beatles in the UK and other parts of Europe. In 1968, self-describing hippies occupied less than 0.2% of the US population and disappeared gradually in the mid-1970s.

The hippie movement formed the image of youth and American culture between the 1960s and the 1970s. The hippie movement was published in the American history textbook for generation change. This is a different era that re-evaluated what changed the times, what we are doing as a country, and where we are going in the future.
