The following is your essay prompt for The Hippies: A 1960s History, by John A. Moretta, your
professor for this course. You can purchase the book online at amazon.com. It is new (only
released in early February) so you might have some difficulty buying a used copy. If you can,
great. I really don’t write books for the money; just like doing them and after all, I was trained
at Rice University to be an historian; that’s why I have a Ph.D. in history!
Be that as it may, you have 16 weeks in which to read this book, which I am confident you
will find most interesting and illuminating. It is a fun and easy read, especially if you like
drugs and music, which I am sure most of you do.
Your papers are to be a minimum of five typed, double-spaced pages, with no more than one
inch margins on the sides and top and bottom of page. 12-pt. font, please. I must receive your
papers as a word attachment by no later than midnight, December 3rd, 2017. Please send
your papers to my college email address: john.moretta@hccs.edu.
No late papers will be accepted. This is a required assignment; failure to do this assignment
will result in a failing grade for the course. In order to successfully pass this course with a
grade, you must take both exams and complete this written assignment. If you believe you
cannot complete the exams and do the paper, then please, do not take this course. I do not
want anyone to fail but you will receive a failing grade if you do not take all the exams and
hand your essay in on time. Sixteen weeks is more than ample if you plan your time wisely by
reading, for example, a chapter or two a week. It is not a difficult, ponderous, or heavy read
at all. There is a lot of cool information about people, events, rock music, etc. You will be
introduced into a very fascinating world of drugs, sex, music, and people celebrating life by
simply enjoying it in as many creative ways as they possibly could. Indeed, there will be much
that the hippies did that many of you can relate to, even now, even if you are a millennial,
which I am sure most of you are. Today’s “hipsters” to me, are simply my old 1960s hippie
friends “reduxed.”
The 1960s proved to be one of the most pivotal, change decades in the 20th century. Indeed,
there was a United States before the 1960s, especially before 1968 (the watershed year of that
decade) and a US after the 1960s. One of the reasons why the 1960s was such a crucial decade
was the fact that never before had so many younger Americans appeared to have galvanized
into such mass protest and resistance not only to the socio-cultural status quo of their time, but
against the government led by the Democratic party and its liberal policies. Even before the
Vietnam War became the raison d’etre of the 1960s youth rebellion, other affinity groups found
plenty wrong with 1960s American culture and society and decided to try to establish their own
alternative community within the macro-capitalist bourgeois consume culture. They called
themselves the hippies and through a variety of celebrations, drugs, sex, love, and music,
believed they represented the possibility of a “new consciousness” for the United States that
would soon embrace everyone and change the United States for the better.
What was it about 1960s white middle class suburban America–its lifestyle, mores, norms, etc.
that so alienated many white youth? As the hippies cohered into a movement or subculture,
what was their “philosophy” and how did they hope to propagate their new message to the rest
of the world? What caused hippiedom’s inevitable downfall? Why was it destined to last but a
few years? What were some of the movement’s inherent flaws or weaknesses that ultimately
destroyed the hip ideal? However, despite the many flaws in the hip creed, there were
moments of genuine joy, celebration, community, peace, and love, where it seemed that for an
instance the hippies had found their way back to the Garden. What were some of the
movement’s highlights? What caused the ultimate backlash to the 1960s youth rebellion?
