Bonnie and the 60s...



Travelling over time is a thing which everyone wants to do but saddly it's impossible. 

But one day I'll finalize an invention wich consists in travelling over time for 24 hours and only once to not disrupt History. I'll become very rich !



            Personally I wish to come back to the mid-1960s with the Hippie movement.

 It was a youth movement started in The United-States and The United Kingdom during the 1960's. 

It was spread afterwards all around the world.

 It appeared just after World War One thanks to the baby-boom. 

This new generation didn't accept the traditional values, their parents's lifestyle, materialism, consumerism and all kinds of authority too. 

It's a counterculture movement that emphasized personal freedom (specially sexual freedom), peace, love and genuine human relationships.  


            There are many hippie symbols like the peace symbol or « Power of flowers » which was a peaceful expression ( They were named flower children by the way ).

 Indeed, flowers are a peaceful symbol against the war and violence.



            This period seems very cool to me because I think it's like a perfect world for young people without rules to respect, without authority. 

Can do what make us happy without concern  for what people think.

 Also the Hippie's look is so cool, it is a casual and relaxed look. 

I love it, long hair, baggy pants,long dresses, floral motif, round glasses. 

Very funny.   

Moreover there was lot of musics and free concerts !

 But the thing that I love about the Hippie movement is travelling. 

Indeed, the flower children wanted to discover the world, different countries, different people, different cultures and landscapes.

 Even if they had not much money they were brave to do some soul searching themselves and figure out themselves by traveling all around the world and specially in Morocco, Turkey and India which are Southern Countries.

 Hippies wanted to go far away from the Western culture that they hated. That's a thing that I would love to do.


            But there are inconvenients.

 Indeed health conditions were not the things the most important to them I guess and I can't live all my life like a hippie : take a shower in a river or sleep every night in tents for example.


            Also the lack of privacy could be a problem to me because I need to be sometimes alone to feel good.



            In conclusion, I think that today, the world should think like hippies a little bit, want the peace and love across the world .
