I. The word hippie is derived from the words hip or hep that mean «understanding, knowing». Their philosophy and subculture originally appeared in the 1960 's in the U.S.A.

Their ideals include love, peace, freedom of self-expression, and non-conformity to society’s rules. Against the background of speeches, reports, slogans, which served as a smokescreen for corruption and moral crisis, hippies showed to young people an alternative to all that. Unfortunately, now the hippie community is becoming a place for really hopeless characters and those having no ideas and principles. It is not so difficult to look like a traditional hippie: a pair of old worn-out blue jeans, long hair tied with a bit of string and a couple of decorative chains. This is often used by drug sellers. They have noticed if you are wearing your hair long and your jeans are old, you have a much easier time on the road.

Remarkably, while in society at large the drug problem is becoming more serious, in the hippie society it has stopped growing.

Many hippies didn’t belong to any organized religion and preferred a more personal spiritual experience, having their own beliefs. Though some of them took to Buddhism, Hinduism and the Jesus Movement.

Today hippies are more socially active. They set up environmental groups and join charity projects.

“Everything that brings people together is good; everything that draws them apart is evil. Love is the most powerful thing that brings people together.”
