Activism vs. Counterculture

Explore the critical distinctions between activism and counterculture, illustrated through iconic figures and movements. Activism seeks systemic change, as expressed by leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and advocates for civil rights and social justice. In contrast, counterculture embraces a lifestyle rejection of mainstream values, epitomized by the hippie movement and its ideals of peace, love, and communal living. Joni Mitchell’s call for wealth redistribution reflects the activism spirit, while the counterculture responds with cultural rebellion through music and communal living.
