Analysis Of 60 Years Ago

In the late 1800’s to 1900’s a white plague broke out in the United States called tuberculosis (TB), the need for medical attention was both high and demanding.“El Paso 's climate, characterized by mild winters, low rainfall and humidity and abundant

Gender roles was different for when it was in the 1960’s. They use to not let girls go to school or do any jobs as hard as men do. For example, go to war, rebuild houses, construction, etc. Transportation, back in the 1960’s the cars looked different, the way they were shaped, and the color of the car. Music, it has changed a lot from the 1960´s. Now music has rapping, slow music, hip hop, bad language, etc. All of these, gender roles, transportation, and music.

The 1950s and the 1960s had many similarities, though they had many differences as well. Their similarities and differences include: the politics, the economy, the society, and the culture of both decades. In the 1950s, North Korea moved into South Korea and began a civil war between the two parallel countries. The reason for this dispute was the border lines as well as guerrilla fighting in the South, which created a greater tension on the issue. The reason why the U.S entered the Korean War was so that the Soviet Union would not gain another nation and, in turn, more power. Like the 50s, our country was also at war with another country in the 60s. This time, the U.S was at war with Vietnam. The U.S entered the war because the

There are many discontinuities and continuities between 1930-1950 and 1950-1980 so this is very difficult to determine to whether continuities or discontinuities are more important between these periods. Noting that one might easily argue otherwise, I would like to claim that the discontinuities outweigh the continuities between these two periods for several reasons. First of all, despite some similarities in the protectionism, the DP government followed a more agriculture-oriented and liberal economic policy than that of the RPP governments of 1930s. On the other hand, although the main economic policy followed in 1930s governments and governments between 1960-1980 was import substituting industrialization, while the former one followed the

How did the events from the later 1960’s and through the 1970’s contribute to cynicism and mistrust toward the nation’s leaders, especially those in politics?

While tuberculosis was never completely eliminated, there was a significant drop in cases and death rates, as a result of the BCG vaccine and new anti-tubercular drugs in the 1950’s.

The Sixties, by Terry H. Anderson, takes the reader on a journey through one of the most turbulent decades in American life. Beginning with the crew-cut conformity of 1950s Cold War culture and ending with the transition into the uneasy '70s, Anderson notes the rise of an idealistic generation of baby boomers, widespread social activism, and revolutionary counterculture. Anderson explores the rapidly shifting mood of the country with the optimism during the Kennedy years, the liberal advances of Johnson's "Great Society," and the growing conflict over Vietnam that nearly tore America apart. The book also navigates through different themes regarding the decade's different currents of social change; including the anti-war movement, the civil

The economic and political challenges of the 60’s and 70’s have left a huge influence on the policies and actions of politicians today. From stagflation to the Vietnam War many politicians use these past issues to justify their decisions of today. One of the most influential economists who emerged in the sixties was Milton Friedman, who fought against the establishment’s Keynesian view and many of the policies of FDR. He won a Nobel Prize in 1976 for his work on monetary policy with specific beliefs in controlling the federal debt, keeping inflation low, and maximizing the benefits of the economy through a lassiez-faire market. His publications influenced many of Regan’s policies of deregulation and tax cuts and most of the economic policies of the modern Republican Party. One of the issues today that has been influenced from the 60’s and 70’s is the estate tax, which is a tax that is imposed on inheritances left by wealthy estate owners. It has been fought over for the past 15 years with one party wanting to raise it and the other wanting to abolish it completely. The economic policies and ideas of the sixties and Milton Friedman fuels a lot of the arguments on the issue of the estate tax.

During the 1960’s, African Americans demonstrated their rights by performing sit-ins within public accommodations all throughout the Southern states. The city of Nashville, Tennessee was considered a progressive city in the South; However, with a high population of African Americans, it was still segregated. Since Nashville housed black colleges in the city, this prompted students to organize sit-ins to challenge segregation in the so called “progressive city”. Whites in Nashville couldn’t believe that African Americans native to Nashville were organizing these sit-ins, they believed these African Americans came from northern cities. It was interesting to see how ignorant whites were in Nashville about their own African American population.

Canada has had many events where tuberculosis was having an outbreak in 1924 through 1948, but since then it has been decreasing. We have dealt with this problem back in 2012 where an outbreak of tuberculosis infected 8% of the individuals in the extremely small Northern Quebec community of Kangiqsualujjuaq. After the outbreak The Public Health Agency of Canada is running over to discover the origin of the outburst its spread. Officials are also bringing up more additional resources to the place, such as a mobile x-ray machine. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria that travel from person to person. A person who is infected with tuberculosis, but does not show any symptoms at all may have dormant tuberculosis and can still transmit

The research question my group chose dealt with the state's enforcement of gender in Mexico city from 1940-1970. I faced many challenges in my historical research, the first was finding adequate primary sources that dealt with gender. I encountered an abundance of secondary sources when using the school databases but not too many primary sources. The research results would often include sources that were out of our time range or were in a different language. When conducting research using the school database, I had to be very specific with the key terms I used but that didn’t guarantee me accurate results. Our research was limited to American newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, as they were the only newspaper archives that were available to us. While some of the articles offered insight into the new job opportunities that could potentially arise in Mexico City, they were not specific to any gender. As a historian,

Among many misconceptions, tuberculosis is not a disease of the past. Tuberculosis remains a public health issue. It is estimated that one-third of the total world population is infected by tuberculosis (TB). The American lung association (2013) states, in 2011 alone there were nearly 9,000,000 new diagnosed cases of tuberculosis around the world and an estimated 1.4 million deaths because of this disease. In the United States, TB is not as common (but still a problem). In 2011, only 10,500 people reported having TB (Trends in Tuberculosis Morbidity and

To some people the 1960s were the best of times, to others it was a

During this time, a myriad of new factories and job opportunities, in addition to quicker transportation, in cities helped instigate a massive movement of the global human population from farms and rural villages to large urban cities such as London, England, which created an explosive population growth and an enormous overcrowding issue, especially in Europe and the United States. Many of these newcomers couldn’t afford a high rent, so they lived as tenants in congested rookeries and slums with poor ventilation and sanitation, the perfect breeding ground for tuberculosis. Overcrowded cities posed another problem too. More people leads to more crime which leads to prisons with horrible conditions: “[Prisons] were soon packed wall to wall with prisoners, often eight to ten convicts to each small, windowless cell … Half of all prisoners in England’s Chatham Naval Prison died of [tuberculosis] every year between 1870 and 1880” (Murphy 25). These non-ventilated, packed prisons were another ideal place for tuberculosis to flourish. The lack of hygiene in prisons and poor districts of the city substantially increased both tuberculosis infection rates and fatality rates. The cause of one in seven deaths in Europe during the late 1800s, tuberculosis was one of the most distressing illnesses throughout the Victorian Era

Metcalfe Countians awoke Wednesday (March 12, 1975) to what was reported as the worst flash flooding in the county in over half a century, when approximately five inches of rain fell swelling creeks and rivers out of their banks. A vehicle driven by Donnie Hiser was washed off highway 640 and emergency crews began an immediate evacuation of homes and businesses near Rogers Creek.
