During the 1950's, the United States experienced great change with the end of World War II, making it difficult to label the busy decade. America was the most powerful nation in the world and it was a time of complacency. The United States accepted two new states, Hawaii and Alaska (www.fifties.com). The science world boomed with new inventions; televisions broadcast nationally; rock n' roll was popular; commercial hotel and fast food chains became common; the car industry exploded; vaccinations for measles and polio were discovered; and birth control pills were introduced (Layman VII). Another event in the 1950’s was the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which limited presidents to two terms in office. The 1950's "baby

Punishments such as whippings, brandings, torture, beatings, and mutilations were in efforts to make the punishment as relevant as possible to the crime committed also known as corporal punishment. Liars had their tongues ripped out; thieves had their finger or hand cut

Something about the American mindset tends to make heroes out of criminals. From criminals like Jesse James all the way to Al Capone, despite the wishes of our law enforcement and government, infamous criminals fascinate the public mind.

I would rather live in the 2015 than the 1900's. One primary reason would be the entertainment. Entertainment has changed a lot from the 1900's, In the 1900's for entertainment you would have a picnic or go watch a play. Nowadays everybody goes to the movies, play videogames which is more exciting and fun to do. Another reason would be the technology. In the 1900's the phones could not perform actions that they do now, you can only use them to talk and they were not portable as they are now. In 2015 phones can perform many things like take , pictures, go on social networks, listen to music and on top of everything they were portable. The last reason would be fashion. In the 1900's men had to wear suits after they were sixteen. Now men are

“You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror. Victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”-Winston Churchill (BrainyQuote.com).

There have been many great inventions in the past few decades such as, computers and smartphones, but what about things from over one-hundred years ago? These items have been around for over a century and yet we take these great inventions for their time for granted. People take so many things for granted that they have in this world and feel as if these things will never go away. It takes losing things to fully appreciate what we have. People want the hottest new thing every year like phones or other material goods that they do not need. This has created a society where everyone feels that they will always have everything. The nineteenth century had many great inventions that gave way to a second industrial revolution that sparked the minds of scientists and inventors everywhere. There are certain inventions of the 19th century that made a greater impact than other inventions of this time on various societies and have provided a foundation for the society and technological advancements for today such as, electricity, the typewriter, the telegraph, railroads and the advancement of medical technology.

In his inaugural address in 1961, President John F. Kennedy stated that “the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” (Kennedy 610). Idealistic and modern, the young Kennedy represented the dawn of a “new frontier” (610). In his New Frontier plans, Kennedy pushed for an improved education system, federally funded health care, civil rights programs, and renewal of urban environments. However, Congress blocked most of his domestic programs, turning the young President’s attention to foreign affairs. In 1961, he established the Peace Corps and the Alliance for Progress which promoted reform and development in underdeveloped countries. Unfortunately, after only 1,000 days in

The Silver Age is also recognized to be the superhero era of science. Science would explain any dilemma in the story line and would also be the answer to how to fix it. Many superhero origins were also based on the idea of science such as the X-Men, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four gained their superhuman abilities by genetic mutation. Science topics and factoids also appeared in comics during the Silver Age through comic issues of The Flash. Each issue contained multiple panels explaining scientific topics that related to the plot line. An example of this would be from The Flash Issue #140, in which one of Flash’s nemeses Heat Wave used a gun-like weapon to transform heat waves into physical bullets. Throughout The Flash Issue #140, factoids about heat waves were laced within the story line, creating an educational standpoint within comic books.

In the words of Anne Bradstreet, “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” As writers of the modern era expressed their hardships through poetry, one can only hope that they kept such advice in mind. Through captivating works, poets such as Langston Hughes, Edwin Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, and E.E. Cummings expressed the struggles of life during the modern era. By examining what these poets have to say about dissatisfaction with life, feelings of inadequacy, and loneliness, it becomes clear that life during the modern era was full of hardships.

Prison development dates all the way back to the early Roman times and even then there were forms of punishment for criminals.
