This hybrid approach allows the best of both worlds and should indeed be the way it goes going forward. Examples of software that can be used for this is Microsoft Lync, Microsoft Office and Google Docs (Arar, 2013) References Arar, Y
Combined with the communal living aspect of the Hippie movement and the widespread availability of oral contraception for women, this lead very naturally to a complete breakdown of traditional American social norms about human sexuality, especially in the pre-AIDS era where medical safety was not yet a critical element of responsible sexual behavior. The shift from sexually monogamous social norms to free sexual expression (Baker & Elliston, p
On one hand, Americans had just endured significant hardships at home while leading a bitter, hard-won, four-year conflict, losing more than half a million dead to foes whose racist political ideologies played a major role in precipitating the global conflict. On the other hand, racial segregation was still the law of the land throughout much of the United States herself in the first two decades of the postwar period (Friedman, pp
The so-called "Chicago Seven" disrupted the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago along with an eighth member, Bobby Seale of the much more radical and less pacifist Black Panthers who were not opposed to violent governmental opposition. Another member of the Chicago Seven, Abby Hoffman, promoted various forms of non-violent but criminal acts of anarchy that he detailed in his book, entitled Steal This Book (1971), in which he provided instructions on everything from eating cheaply and living freely to hitching free rides illegally on public transportation, circumventing the need for postage stamps on mail, hot-wiring cars and public telephones, and shoplifting (Hoffman, p
203) was only further facilitated by two other concurrent elements of the Hippie counterculture: drug use and music. The Hippie generation and its permissive approach to personal expression and experimentation included a renewed and much more intensified interest in psychedelic drugs than America experienced the first time that recreational drug use had been popularized by young people shortly after the First World War, when it was somewhat limited to the "Flapper" crowd and particularly to Jazz musicians in the period between the two world wars (Miller, p
Yet they were able to adapt the Boone myth to their own purposes by playing down its violence and emphasizing the first half of the regenerative cycle, the Indianizing of white pioneers. For those on the political left, as well as those on the right, the wilderness and the Indian were ideologically charged symbols (Herr 1991) (Bates 29)
These are the lyrics to the song, sung by Gracie Slick: White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said; "Keep YOUR HEAD Woodstock was the perhaps the counterculture's last hurrah, too, since the movement also began to implode that year, beginning with the break up of The Beatles. Beginning in 1970, the American Government began de-escalating the Viet Nam war, and on January 28, 1973, the last Americans were evacuated from a rooftop in Saigon (Butler 21)
Groups like The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, The Rolling Stones, Who, and Iron Butterfly, as well as individual headline artists like Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin (billed individually or with her band, The Big Brother Holding Company), Bob Dylan, and many other groups and solo artists, had the rhythm and beat of rock and roll, but not the love-sick and romantic lyrics of the 1950s. The youth of the counterculture movement made political, social, and religious statements, which were counterintuitive to the conservative beliefs held by their parents, whom the youth of the movement referred to as "the establishment (Gair 62)
The excess of the American counterculture youth is perhaps best memorialized by a series of music industry related events. On March 27, 1969, John Lennon, who was by the time the event took place a "former" Beatle; with his new wife, Yoko Ono, staged a "bed-in" for peace in the presidential suite of the Amsterdam Hilton (Kane 110)
The son memorializes rock and roll, referencing Buddy Holly, the counterculture, and even the death of Jesus. It is the manifestation of the counterculture movement, and it has been analyzed as a summation of rock and roll's most famous artists, especially those of the 1960s (it is dedicated to Buddy Holly) (Mann 20-21)
The height of the counterculture movement, the epitome of the movement's musical expression of their ideologies and passion, culminated in one of the most memorable events in music and American history: Woodstock. In August, 1969, on a 600 acre farm belonging to Max Yasgur, in upstate New York, with estimates of as many as 400,000 young people and music fans in attendance for the three day music festival, the Woodstock music festival took place (Perrone 41)
The beast was not dead; it was merely sleeping. What woke it up was the powerful jab of the 1960s counterculture youth (Martin and Segrave 111)
This new attitude created a class of people with limited dependency on work and a small appreciation for work-ethic. More important to these people was the concept of identity and what it meant to be an individual, to be an American (Braunstein 157)

In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Thompson and his companion are sent to find the American Dream. He writes, "We were sent out here from San Francisco to look for the American Dream, by a magazine, to cover it" (Thompson 165)
