Though not a cohesive cultural movement with manifestos and leaders, some hippies expressed their desire for change with communal or nomadic lifestyles, by renouncing corporate influence, consumerism and the Vietnam War, by embracing aspects of non-Judeo-Christian religious cultures (including much Eastern philosophy), and with criticism of Western middle class values. 1, record 1, English, - hippie%20movement

On peut affirmer que le mouvement hippie s'est formé à partir du rejet d'une certaine forme de vie sociale que les jeunes n'acceptaient pas. En effet, les adolescents de cette époque étaient bien conscients de faire partie d'une nouvelle génération révoltée contre la société et leurs parents, qui d'ailleurs n'appréciaient pas trop leurs goûts musicaux, leurs comportements ni leur look. 1, record 1, French, - mouvement%20hippie
