For the rest of todays class…
• The Hippie movement was very positive in some ways, but also led to some people who did not believe in the movement as much as they did the drugs. • We are going to watch some of the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. • It tells the true story of two crazy hippies. One is a journalist, one is a lawyer. • It is very accurate in the way it depicts the effects of drug use.

• The term was first used in the news media during the 1960s and 1970s.
Hippies
• Comes from the word ‘Hip’ which meant cool. • Hippies had several defining features:
– Dressing very differently from most people at that time. – Emphasis on peace, love and sexual freedom. – Use of drugs, particularly cannabis, LSD and psychotropic mushrooms.
– Counter – counter means opposing. – So counter culture means something to do with an opposing culture.
