60's Research Paper

The person who I going speak about did amazing things. The person lived during the 1920s-1960s. In this sets of arguments, I am going talk about the 1950s-1960s. In the 1950s, a civils rights movement happens. The civics’ right movement features African Americans that fight for equal civil rights. They were fighting this for centuries however; a major impact helps the African Americans during the 1950s. The congress ruled that segregated education facilities for black children is unequal for the Brown vs. Board of Education case ruling, South resisted this by putting their children in all-whites segregation camp. During 1956, many Southern congressmen sign a “Southern Manifesto” saying that defend segregation.

Let’s just say that the weatherman may have been a little off on his forecast. It was most definitely not chilly, clear, and 55 degrees fahrenheit. There was at least a foot of heavy and wet snow covering the roads and to make matters worse, it was the night of the big show! It was the night of our school play that had been completely sold out, and now it was going to be nearly impossible for the cast, and audience to even see our hard work we put into “The Nifty Fifties.” Especially when matters were about to get even more out of hand. But as every good performer would say, “The show must go on!”

After conducting a survey of her Smith classmates at a 15-year reunion, Friedan found that most of them were, like she was, dissatisfied suburban housewives. After five more years of researching history, psychology, sociology and economics, and conducting interviews with women across the country, Friedan charted American middle-class women’s metamorphosis from the independent,

Many components led to the 1029s or “Roaring Twenties”, known as an age of dramatic change. The time period was filled with prosperity and advancements in technology that shaped what we have now in the present. For example, more American lived in cities rather then farms, wealth increased, new discoveries were made and many more factors contributed to this. The period became known as roaring because extreme changes in culture, technology, music, art, architecture, dance, and fashion happened. The Nineteenth Amendment was also established giving women the right to vote. During the 1920s many Americans had extra money to spend on goods such as cloths, home appliances and in particular many American families bought a radio. These early radio’s

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. The oddity of the American psychology, that has mixed organized crime into American culture, is amazing (Nash). The unique qualities of the Roaring Twenties really make it stand out in our history. The most interesting points being; the role of organized crime and growth of gangs, major scandals involved with the gang, and the most famed gangster in arguably history, Al Capone.

Since the 1960's, radical movements for social change in the United States have sought to expose the fallacies behind the American way of life. As their efforts have shown us, ours is not a nation where all peoples are free, where everyone gets a fair chance and justice presides. In fact, though we as a nation believe firmly in the principles of democracy, we have often failed miserably in making these principles a reality. Social change has thus been about striving for freedom for all peoples in all spheres of life_economic, political, culturally, educationally...the list goes on and on. Behind all of this change is the understanding that, contrary to establishment beliefs,

The Roaring Twenties was a very memorable decade. The Roaring Twenties is considered a popular decade and there are several reasons why. This era is characterized by organized crime, popular music, and a new type of woman.

They wore crazy looking shoes normally converse crazy colors as well. They never matched their clothes on purpose. Men wore leather jackets and bro-tanks. They would also wear converse like the ladies. Motorcycles were famous back in the days for men. They mostly on wore jeans never wore dress pants and sometimes would wear shorts.

The term “roaring twenties” is used by most of the American population referring to the 1920s during a time of unrelenting economy growth which characterized the distinctive cultural edge of the decade (Out of Many, p. 598). This roaring decade experienced significant economic growth with prosperity by the recovery from devastating wartime, a boom in the construction sector and increased growth of the consumer goods like vehicles and electric energy.

The 70s was groovy and funky all around. The Beatles broke up, M.A.S.H. Started, and abortion was legalized. Everyone talks about watergate or the palestinians, but no one seems to recognize the amazing advancements brought about in technology.

When deciding what movie to do for this particular paper I faced a few issues. I knew what the requirements were, but I wanted something different and something I could have fun watching and writing as well.

I would have liked to have lived in the 1920’s due to all of the new opportunities that sprung up around this time. One giant part of the 1920’s was women’s multiple openings in the job and social world. Women were allowed to do so much more without being looked down upon from the general public. They even changed how their clothes looked going from the massive dresses of the past to thinner, shorter dresses. Without these women trying to change the norm that had been set for them by their grandparents then future “rebellions” such as the 1960’s would most likely never had happened.

At the beginning of the 60’s new black groups started to form there was the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee who were headed by Martin Luther King, Jr., Stokely Carmichael and James Meredith. During one of their marches to protest against the 1965 Voting rights Act Meredith got shot. Also during this march Carmichael came up with the slogan “black power” which he would later use to help empower the group that he switched to in 1967 the Black Panther Party.

I chose Glam 1950s/1960s. I had a lot of fun dressing up in this era, and it was kind of easy for me to do. Most of my Sunday church clothes resemble the fashions from the 1950s; I get told that I look like a 50s house wife. So I tried to glam up the 1950s house wife look with what I already owned and I think it turned out amazing.
