The 1960's Hippie Stereotype

Originally a youth movement during the mid-1960's. The Hippies created their own communities, listened to psychedelic music, embraced the sexual revolution & used drugs. (Marijuana, LSD, Peyote & Mushrooms)

The Hippie culture spread worldwide. Finding expression in literature, the dramatic arts, fashion & the visual arts. Including film, posters advertising rock concerts and album covers. They embraced aspects of Eastern philosophy and were often vegetarian & eco-friendly. They believed that psychedelic drugs expanded one's consciousness and created intentional communities or communes.

Hippies sought to free themselves from societal restrictions, choose their own way & find new meaning in life. Personality traits and values are "altruism, mysticism, honesty, joy and nonviolence." Hippies had wild sex orgies & the open relationship became an accepted part of the hippie lifestyle. Hippies tended to travel light and could pick up and go wherever they want, at any time. Hippies usually have long hair and beards.

The Hippie Code: 

"Do your own thing, wherever you have to do it and whenever you want. Drop out. Leave society as you have known it. Leave it utterly. Blow the mind of every straight person you can reach. Turn them on, if not to drugs, then to beauty, love, honesty, fun."








According to the Hippies, LSD was the hippie sacrament. Washing away years of
social programming, a re-imprinting device, a consciousness-expander, a tool that
would push them up the evolutionary ladder.

Learn About Obedience: part 1

Harmless people become capable of committing cruel acts when a situation pressures them to do so.














Stanley Milgram changed our understanding of human obedience when he published 'Behavioral study of obedience' in 1963. The majority of people are capable of causing extreme harm to others when told to do so by a figure of authority. The experiments showed that people are prepared to do or say things that conflict with their own beliefs.



The Milgram Experiment: How it Works

An investigation took place, of how obedient ordinary people would be when told by authority to sent electric shocks to another person. The experiment took place in a laboratory at Yale University in 1961. The participants were recruited through a newspaper advertisement, with a total of 40 people selected.
Milgram had created a phony electric shock generater, that had 30 switches marked in 15-volt increments.
Labels of  "slight shock" at one end, to "extreme intensity shock", "danger: severe shock"
and finally "XXX" at the other. A biology teacher introduced himself to the participants as
Jack Williams. In order to give the impression of authority, he was dressed in a grey laboratory technician's coat with an emotionless demeanour throughout each of the
experiments. Mr Wallace had been trained to play the role of the victom (learner), and the participents as the teacher. Mr wallace was in each case a phony in getting electrocuted. They played a game, and in each the draw was always rigged so that Mr Wallace took on the role of "learner" in every instance. Mr Wallace was strapped into an "electric chair", in full view of the participants.





Part two contains the following


· Applying the Shocks
· Decisions Made in Percentage
· Feeling Obliged to Obey
· Society Demands Obedience
& more.

DictionaryofPsych: Stereotypes

Stereotypes are categories or concepts of different types of people.

Stereotypes can be very useful, allowing us to make accurate and efficient assumptions of a person's character & behavior.
Assuming that all members of a group has a specific characteristic leads to social categorization, a reason for prejudice attitudes. Researchers have found that stereotypes exist of different races, cultures or ethnic groups.

For example:

· Asian people do better in school
· Woman are bad drivers
· Jews are good with money
· Americans love their guns

Often, negative stereotypes exist.
