How is subcultures and countercultures related?
whatever ducks
Is the hippie movement and the organized crime families in the 1960's considered as countercultures?
yep
In what way are subcultures and countercultures alike?
D. They both exist inside a larger culture.
Is Amish a counterculture?
No Amish is a subculture because they choose to live separately from society and do not want to change the dominant culture like countercultures do.
What are examples of countercultures?
Countercultures are a kind of subculture that deliberately opposes certain aspects of the larger society. Examples of this would be the hippies of the 60's, anarchists, the KKK, Neo-Nazi's, most gangs, as well as MLK Jr. and his followers (in their time at least, they would have been grouped as a kind of counterculture, going against the norms of the American society at the time.)

Is there a counterculture today?
Actually no, there is no counterculture today. True countercultures died out in the 1970s however I think the grunge movement of the 90s can be considered a counterculture. Today everything for the most part is mainstream in some way and people who think they are rebelling are actually fitting in with a crowd. There is no true political, sociological, or psychological movement that goes against mainstream norms. We'll never have hippies or beatniks again because it would/ already has become trendy and accepted in mainstream society.
What impact did the 60s have on society?
The 1960s had a great impact on society in many different ways. The Civil Rights Movement, removed Jim Crow racist laws that had been extant since Reconstruction, the Women's Liberation Movement restarted, as women could look forward to more personal freedom and rights. The Vietnam War, changed the outlook on the government and the wars it demands should be fought, with many refusing to accept the draft. Music became very important, not just in an entertainment, but as a political symbol as well. The Countercultures were direct rejections of the conservatism of the 1950s.
Example of counter culture and subculture?
Subcultures are a segment of society that shares a distinctive pattern of mores (serious norms; norms with laws attached to them), folkways (casual norms), and values that differ from the pattern of the larger society. Examples of this would be, graffiti subculture, the "emo" (or new wave punk) subculture, wrestling, football, basketball or sport subcultures, so on and so forth. Countercultures are a type of subculture that deliberately opposes certain aspects of larger society (this is usually arguable). For example, hippies in the 60s, anarchists, the KKK, most gangs, and MLK Jr. (in his own time at least, him and his followers would be grouped a kind of counterculture.)

Did The Beatles support hippies?
Not so muchThe Hippie movement essentially began in the Haight Ashbury suburb of San Francisco, and was a development of earlier West Coast countercultures, including the Beat movement and Aldous Huxley's original experiments with LSD.By the time that Hippie ideas began to be important in Britain (around 1966) the Beatles were already well established, but the Beatles rapidly adopted Hippie ideas, dress and drug habits for their Sergeant Pepper LP.The LP before Sergeant Pepper - Revolver - is much more European in its influences, and even though the Beatles were heavily influenced by Hippie ideas they were never a Hippie band to the extent of (for example) Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, The Incredible String Band, Pink Floyd, or the Soft Machine.Shortly after Sergeant Pepper the Beatles made a TV movie Magical Mystery Tour which is even more deeply influenced by Hippie ideas than Sergeant Pepper was. The film plot develops around a Magic Bus (Ken Kesey's Magic Bus was part of the basic folklore of Hippie philosophy), but by the time the Beatles made the White Album (follow up to Sergeant Pepper) they had already returned to using British Music Hall motifs and a satirical stance (eg in Back in the USSR).

Both British Music Hall and satire were no part of Hippy culture (which was Utopian and down home American in origin).
