The term may also refer to a lifestyle based on personal, family, or social nudity.[1] Naturism may take a number of forms. It may be practiced individually, within a family, socially, or in public. Additionally, there is also militant naturism, including campaigning, and extreme naturism is sometimes considered a separate category.

A hippie  is a member of the counterculture of the 1960s, originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the mid-1960s and spread to other countries around the world. The word hippie came from hipster and was used to describe beatniks who moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The term hippie first found popularity in San Francisco with Herb Caen, who was a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle.

The hippie is the specific subgroup of the subculture which have arisen in the USA in the early sixties of the XX-th century which has quickly extended on all countries of the world, and has practically disappeared to the middle of the seventieth. In the original of hippie were a part of the youth movement consisting almost completely from white teenagers and enough of young adults at the age from fifteen to twenty five, which have inherited cultural revolt from bohemia and beatniks. Hippies with contempt concerned the settled concepts, criticised values of middle class and acted as radical opposition to application of the nuclear weapon, war in Vietnam. They have made popular and have shined aspects of the religions which are distinct from a Judaism and Christianity almost unknown at that point in time. Hippies have literally pushed sexual revolution; they encouraged the use of psychodelic junks on purpose to expand human consciousness. Hippies created original communes where their values were cultivated.

A commune (the French word appearing in the 12th century from Medieval Latin communia, meaning a large gathering of people sharing a common life; from Latin communis, things held in common) is an intentional community of people living together, sharing common interests, often having common values and beliefs, as well as shared property, possessions, resources, and, in some communes, work, income or assets. In addition to the communal economy, consensus decision-making, non-hierarchical structures and ecological living have become important core principles for many communes. There are many contemporary intentional communities all over the world, a list of which can be found at the Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC)

The term downshifting in the English language refers to the act of reducing the gear ratio while driving a vehicle with manual transmission. This title or term has now been re-purposed and applied to describe a social behavior or trend in which individuals live simpler lives to escape from what critics call the rat race. The long-term effect of downshifting can include an escape from what has been described as economic materialism, as well as reduce the "stress and psychological expense that may accompany economic materialism". This new social trend emphasizes finding an improved balance between leisure and work, while also focusing life goals on personal fulfillment, as well as building personal relationships instead of the all-consuming pursuit of economic success. Down-shifting, as a concept, shares many characteristics with simple living. However, it is distinguished as an alternative form by its focus on moderate change and concentration on an individual comfort level and a gradual approach to living.[1] In the 1990s, this new form of simple living began appearing in the mainstream media, and has continually grown in popularity among populations living in industrial societies, especially the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia, as well as Russia.

A hermit (adjectival form: eremitic or hermitic) is a person who lives in seclusion from society, usually for religious reasons.[1][2][3] Hermits are a part of several sections of Christianity, and the concept is found in other religions as well.
