Differences And Similarities Between The 1950's And 1970

The 1920’s were a very important era in America for better or worse. There were many issues in relation to race and how people of different ethnic groups were treated. African American had a cultural rejuvenation that being the Harlem Renaissance. The advent of the Ford Model T change the way how people traveled. Many may say an era like the 1950’s were highly comparable. Race related issues were on a decline as America as whole sought to be more accepting and the oppressed started to speak out on it. While some may argue that the 1920’s and the 1950’s were similar time periods, you can say they were different due to how the way minority ethnic groups were treated and the new consumerist lifestyles of people in the 1950’s. I believe that

The United States has changed immensely since 1950. Americans were worried and anxious about a post-WWII depression that never occurred. 1946 was the year that saw the most marriages. Families started to grow, the economy boomed, people began to own cars and televisions, and much more.

The 1950’s and 1960s were an era of new of new directions in popular culture. It was the age of rock n roll, hippies, and protest songs. Foreign influences from both Britain and Untied States an effect on popular culture in Canada. Although Canadian culture matured in the first half of the 20th century, 21ST Century Canadian culture is truly a reflection of historical events that took place between 1945 and 2000. To begin, in 1947 the US motion picture industry dominated Canadian film theaters, taking $17 million out of Canada yearly but the Canadian co-operation project came up with a solution. Also, the 1950s celebrated several programming firsts for television and radio, as well as ongoing technological development. Lastly the CRTC issued broadcasting licenses to Canadian owned companies. These events can be seen as defining moments in Canadian history, and shows Canada’s maturity as a nation.

The 1950s was a decade of prosperity, the economy was booming, military was strong, the beginning of the civil rights movement. In the 1960s the decade involved protest, the war in Vietnam, the fight for civil rights, and JFK. Then came the 1970s and it was known as the time of peace and love, equality for all, the ongoing war in Vietnam, and Nixon. Each decade after one another affected the next with foreign policy, domestic policy, politics, political leadership, the economy, and the social terms of each decade.

There were many events that occurred during the 1960s but was that time better than modern day? The 1960s were filled with excitement such as the Space Race, Babe Ruth’s home run record is broken, hippies, and many other exciting things. The 1960s were also filled with tragedy though too like assassinations, war, less equality, and oppressed lives. You may say that the 1960s had “non-violence movements” but there were actually many protests and assassinations (Winn). Many people remember the 1960s as a time of love, peace, and nonviolence, we now know that their memory is a little wacky. This era is much better than the sixties.

Consumerism, which is the theory that an increasing consumption of goods is economically desirable, has provided that flow of money through poor and rich families in the U.S. Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) once articulated about the simplicity of U.S consumerism as “What's great about this country is America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.

Changes in society have had an enormous effect in Mississippi. During the 1950s and 1960s black people were treated unconditionally wrong. The education was mostly for whites, also the voting rights were a huge deal.

Time moves fast but lets slow it down and go back in time,to the 1960s. In the 1960’s a lot of things were going on,such as discrimination and the Cultural Revolution. We are going to compare them on there time change from the 1960s and now. Education,transportation,government are some of the things that change in this time.

A lot happened in the 50s decade. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said "America at this moment, stands at the summit of the world"(Churchill).The economy was great new cars, suburban houses, and other goods were available. The United States also had the world's strongest military power. His story and she use the word boom to describe a lot about the 1950s. The decade was known for its booming economy the booming suburbs and best known for the baby blue 77 million baby boom worries were born

In the 1950s America underwent many significant changes. The economy was changing. People in America had the opportunity to succeed more than ever before. There was however a negative side to the era.

The 1960s were a period of change in many ways for the United Kingdom. The cultural, social and ideological revolution happened when the children of the baby boom reached their teenage years and refused to behave like their parents. This decade was called Swinging Sixties for a number of reasons and this is what we are going to see in more details. It was the time of rock n roll, the time of the Beatles, of new fashion, of bob hair, sexual liberation, hippies and protest. It was a decade of change which shaped the society we know today. In April 1966, Time magazine referred to the capital of the United Kingdom as "Swinging London", saying it was the world city of the decade. Time magazine fixed the word in people's minds, repeating it throughout

In the 1970’s and 1980’s there are only few rock fall remedial methods available. Those are simple but reliable. The ditch design chart developed from field tests (Ritchie, 1963) and double twist draped wire mesh and gabions (rock filled wire baskets) produced by the Maccaferri company in Italy. The other improvement in the 1970’s was a rockfall modeling program that was used to examine rockfall behavior at Hells Gate in the Fraser Canyon, British Columbia; this was probably one of the first modeling programs

Many believe that the 1970s was an era where not much happened compared to the 1960s and 1980s. There are many which regard the 1970s as a throwaway era because it lacked any form of impact in our society and was only known for bad fashion, rock music, and other things that were considered forgettable. Bruce Schulman believes otherwise; with his book “The Seventies: The Great Shift in American Culture, Society, and Politics.” Bruce talks about the 1970s as a period of transformative change in many different areas. The 1970s was the period of Richard Nixon becoming president all the way to Ronald Reagan’s decisive victory in the reelections which affected many things such as politics. Bruce Schulman goes against the popular notion that the 1970s was an unimportant era in history because he believes that the United States experienced a transformation in many different areas which helped shape our present time. Bruce Shulman believes that the 1970s was an overlooked decade and begins to explain what was affected during those times. Some of the many aspects that Bruce Schulman talks about which were transformed in the 1970s were American economics, cultural life, politics, family life, religion, race relations, and popular culture. In reading this book, I believe the most interesting consequential importance of these transformations happens in the area of politics. I believe politics was affected the most because of a multitude of events, many of which stemmed from the 1970s

There are good arguments to be made that the world was a better place in the late 1950s than it is today. For example, life was simpler than it is today, the environment was not as badly threatened as it is today, the world economy was not quite so susceptible to one country's fiscal crisis as it is in today's economy, and global warming had not begun to melt the glaciers and cause the oceans to rise above the shorelines in many areas of the world. But a bit more than fifty years later, while there are many problems for mankind to cope with and try to solve, there is a great deal of evidence that while there are new problems of a serious nature, on the other hand things are better in the world than they were 50 to 60 years ago.
