The hippie movement
Cameron Hoskinson
Good afternoon, today I’ll be talking about the hippie movement.
The Hippie Movement had a prominent impact on the view of American culture and society throughout the 60 and 70’s. This subculture influenced Americans perspectives into how their attitudes are towards sex, drugs, political and social beliefs. The Hippies helped to make America's culture more open. They helped, for example, move the culture towards more of an acceptance of different lifestyles. E.g., the Hippies helped to destroy the patriarchal culture that had stereotyped America.

These protests are recognised as the hippie movement, encompassing social movements and demonstrations in the United States between the years of 1960 to 1970 and still the hippie era lives on.

The art displays the positive attitude of the artists, reflecting the prominence and change of the period. “Turn on, tune in and drop out” was the phrase used by Timothy Leary in 1967 at a get-together of 30,000 hippies where he expressed this phrase. On his album he spoke about his views about the world and humanity. “The meaning of inner life" he called it, the LSD experience, peace and many other issues. Through the use of drugs, Timothy captured thousands of people’s attention because they wanted to hear what he had to
