I have to write a paper for English on Friday. It is a compare and contrast paper, and I have to compare and contrast the people of the 60s and the people of today. Someone help me out because I cannot think right now! Just help me out with some points that make us so different from the people of the 60s Thanks!
the sixties was a dress rehersal for a cosmic planetary revolution where love is the all now is the time when we take the love and completely transform the world
well....look at the sixties from the society at that time....post- war, baby-boomers, last age of innocence.... and then look at us as a product of the 60s....pm me if you need any more help....i'm pretty good a papers, especially compare/contrast
anyways, think about the paper written from a point of view of creative imagination and "we can heal the world" this is what so many people are tuning into now with our present world crisis' and this creative optimism is the hippy spirit try to stay away from the sixties were so much better for expression of hippie ideas cuz that defeats the whole purpose of the idea of hippy transformation of the planET hippy is about now and we can heal the world
I think you also have to look at what was new for the people then and what's normal in nowadays society. Thinks like the hippie subculture got attention because it was new. And the news was spread by a relatively new way, tv.
tv been around for twenty years by the time hippies were on the scene although true, the public fascination was fueled by the tv but also print media and hippie types were everywhere... at the park... lots of long haired people smoking pot
but good ideas so far also, stay away from such sentiments as "i wish i was born in the 60's" i've heard on the trail that when the Anti-Hippy comes, he... or she will be saying "it was so much cooler in the 60's" or "i wish i was born in the 60's" things are really happening now... folks are really grooving into wholistic thought and patterns of ecosystems... just look... al gore won an oscar for his movie... that's really hippy
Also you could include the differances in music and the like. What types are popular, how did the 60's incluence it? Because Music is a creation of people fueled by their enviroment. Well, actually any art form is if you would like to include that. Also, you could mention how the 60's changed how we perceive certain things like long hair and drugs and language... I.e, what used to catch our attention is pretty "normal" to us now.
