Organized crime families and the hippie movement of the 1960s are examples of countercultures in the united states. True or False

The correct answer is A. True

Explanation:

The term "countercultures" is used to describe groups of people whose lifestyle, behavior, norms, and values are opposite to the ones of most people, which means there is a sub-culture that opposes society.

According to this definition, organized crime families and the hippie movement of the 1960s are examples of countercultures because the lifestyle, beliefs, values, etc. of these two groups were quite different from the ones of mainstream society. In the case of organized crime families, these held norms and values that were considered unethical by most; while the hippie movement opposed mainstream society because ideas such as harmony with nature, experimentation and communal living promoted by it were opposed by most people.
