Answer: True.

Explanation:

The 1960s' counterculture was an anti-establishment movement strongly related to the Civil Rights Movement and against the government's military intervention in Vietnam. Furthermore, it explored human sexuality, women's rights, and psychoactive drugs. Counterculture renounced mainstream political action, and some hippies went as far as establishing communes to live out of the established system, in the hope of changing society by dropping out of it.
