The values of the counterculture are quite different from the previous generations we have studied in class. The counterculture, through observing the Be-In and Woodstock sources, are very free-spirited and peaceful. The Be-In flyer suggests to bring candles and incense while the Woodstock flyer advertises its many acres of clean air and peacefulness of getting away for 3 days. As the article by Kutula also suggests, this generation was less concerned with the rigid way of life concerned with family and home life as seen before. The counterculture embodies a breaking free from lifestyles previously known and an entrance into a culture more rebellious and free-spirited than previously seen.
