For many, the media is seen as a representation of reality, an interpretation and understanding of cultures, sub-cultures, issues and ideas, however, this is no longer an acceptable approach for engaging with and evaluating what we now know to be such a powerful aspect of our society. It is not merely commentary, but in many cases, the media plays an active role in the construction, and at times deconstruction, of political and social issues, which is exactly what happened with the hippie “movement” of the late 1960s.

A smooth sleekness gave way to long, straight hair, worn with or without bangs or in a center part.

On 1 May 2004 the EU took in 10 new members, most of them former communist countries, in a huge step along the road towards dismantling the post-World War II division of Europe.

The 1960’s hippie counter culture movement involved a variety of social concerns and beliefs. The hippies’ primary tenet was that life was about being happy, not about what others thought you should be. Their “if it feels good, do it” attitudes included little forethought nor concern for the consequences of their actions. EU referendum: Brexit letters from Glastonbury.

The Beat Generation. Like the French Impressionist artists of Paris, the Beat writers were a small group of close friends first, and a movement later. The term "Beat Generation" gradually came to represent an entire period in time, but the entire original Beat Generation in literature was small enough to have fit into a couple of cars (at times this nearly happened).

WRAP THESIS Horne 1982. Mercer Kevin M 201205 BA. A “Beat” Generation: Influence and Knowledge from the Masters. Jack Kerouac once advised that one should, “blow as deep as [they] want – write as deeply, fish as far down as [they] want, satisfy [themselves] first, [and] then [their] reader cannot fail to receive telepathic shock and meaning – excitement by same laws operating in [their] own human mind […] [One should] write outwards swimming in sea of language to peripheral release and exhaustion…tap from [themselves] the song of [themselves] blow! – now! – [their] way is your [their] way…” Kerouac was a major contributor to the Beat Generation as well as American Literature in general.

Hippies and the Counterculture: Origins, Beliefs and Legacy. Of Beatniks & Hippies. How Muddy "Glasto Effect" Contributed to Brexit. Glastonbury Music Festival Could Factor Into the Brexit Vote. Glastonbury Festival, the gigantic five-day music festival that takes place on Worthy Farm 135 miles southwest of London, is a sort of rite of summer for British teens and twenty-somethings. They make the pilgrimage to the bucolic setting every June for star-studded musical lineups—Adele and Coldplay are headlining this year—as those not lucky enough to score a ticket follow along to see just how muddy the 900-acre plot of English countryside gets.

Young people are so bad at voting – I'm disappointed in my peers. There’s a Henry Asquith quote inscribed on a square I often walk by: “Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.” A little later in life. It’s a wonderful idea. Young people – if you're so upset by the outcome of the EU referendum, then why didn't you get out and vote? Swaths of young people in this country have been lamenting at the fact that our futures have been “ruined” by selfish older voters who probably won’t live to see the full extent of the damage they have caused.

Yet, it has been estimated that only 36 per cent of people in the 18 – 24 year old category voted in the EU referendum. 64 per cent of young people did not bother to take themselves down to the polling station and cast their ballot. Turnout in areas with a higher proportion of young residents was lower across the country. So, it is rather hypocritical for the young to chastise older Brits when less of us voted than those who did not.
