Hippie Movement of the 60's Toolbox Post

    The Hippie Movement arose in response to the Vietnam War. They originally protesting for peace and coined phrases such as, "Make Love, Not War" in the 60's. However this transformed into a counter culture movement that opposed main stream modern America, and typically did not involve politics. They empowered a free spirited, out-going, weed smoking, and a music loving personality shock throughout the United States. This reminded me of Burke's Grotesque frame as the hippies of this time were seen as so "outside the main stream" (Burke's Frames 4).

And here is the style of the Hippie Movement    https://rb.gy/2bj20x

As you can see from the pictures above Hippies embodied a very different mindset than the modern American. Therefore when "Flower Power" was brought to light in response to the Vietnam war this created struggle within the United States that would change this country forever.
