Culture as a psychological phenomenon, according to Matsumoto - a set of attitudes, values and beliefs shared by a group of people.It learns the behavior, so we have different internalize values, norms.This process is constantly in change, in motion, in addition.Counterculture - is that there is in contrast to the conventional art.One can not answer the question of whether positive or negative color it carries.History knows many examples when due to this driving force of positive changes in the development of entire nations.Traditions, rules and regulations remain unchanged, set for a long time, any society goes from inception to a peak and then decline.Culture is subject to the same changes.Only with reservation that is in decline, it might disappear altogether.But it may be renewed, and the counterculture - is that it is able to push it.
there are many examples.So, in the 60s of the last century in the West, it formed a new movement - hippies.In contrast to the cult of money they promoted the cult of simplicity.Gradually become part of the fashion jeans, work clothes changing from first to the daily, and later in the holiday.Instead of loud slogans of conformity, offer not stand out from the crowd, to be "like everyone else", they began to promote the idea that every person - is an individual and should be something different from the rest.In this case, the counter-culture - it's the hippies who not only set new trends in clothing, but also contributed to the change in the political situation in the United States.The Government has called on all over the place to help in the fight against communist Vietnam, hippies also advocated pacifism, saying that in the world there is only love, not war.It was during this period of time, many in the West carried away with reading and comprehension of revolutionary literature, Marxism, the ideas of Che Guevara, a country overwhelmed by massive protests, which raised the question of the oppression of black people, education reforms.
Counterculture - this movement punks who brought the fashion trends in clothing from the skin, which is not ashamed and not be ashamed to flaunt it was even the president, along with jeans, even a couple of decades ago, was considered unacceptable.Females at this time dressed up in mini-skirts, which was considered bad form, as bare knees were not accepted.And in the days of the Wild West is one of the first lady was wearing pants, which caused confusion and resentment of their neighbors.These are small but necessary victory that initially caused only condemnation today allow to select those items of clothing that no longer enjoy without fear of sidelong glances and misunderstanding.
changing stereotypes for centuries, subculture and counterculture brings to the development of public opinion and consciousness of their own views.So, for example, for centuries brothers-Slavs was unacceptable appearance "in public" a married woman with her hair.As you can see, this tradition has sunk into oblivion, largely due to the progressive views of some members of the fairer sex.I think that to achieve such a result, they had to be very difficult, certainly at first they were friends, and condemned by society for such a bold move.
culture, subculture, counterculture are closely interrelated.There are new traffic flow, break down stereotypes, people are no longer faceless gray mass, variously trying to express themselves.Some of them - with the help of clothes, others - putting forward new ideas and slogans.
