Research Paper About Teenagers In The 1940s

In the 1920’s this gap became more of a chasm as the nation’s youth entered the Jazz age, adopting the new styles of music and dress that accompanied it. Women wore shorter skirts, smoked, drove cars, and sported new haircuts, and men went to new jazz clubs that played edgy music that was good for dancing. Overall the new lifestyle was a complete departure from the Victorian mode of living that preceded it, and it was rejected by the older generation as energetically it was embraced by youth. In the 1950’s a similar change took place as parents allowed their children to have more freedom, and religion was not as strictly enforced. The widespread availability of automobiles allowed teenagers to travel around more than they ever had, and the automobile provided teenagers a new place to be free from the observation of their parents, which enabled many new activities, like petting. Just as the youth of the 1920’s had Jazz music, teenagers in the 50’s began to bother their parents by listening to Rock ‘n’ Roll music, whose stars included the scandalous Elvis Presley and even African-American stars like Little Richard, showing that the music allowed youth to transcend race. Just as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literature alarmed more conservative Americans with its description of the popular culture of the time, literature during the 50’s was similarly troubling, dealing with themes of

F. Scott Fitzgerald once stated,“The parties were bigger, the pace was faster, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the morals were looser, and the liquor was cheaper” (“30 Famous The Great Gatsby Quotes”). The time after the war known as the Roaring Twenties harbored change for not only the economy but for the people also. Credit materialized, becoming available for citizens to use on new products such as the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine which allotted more time for the people to have to themselves. The 1920s, a time of celebration and prosperity, eventually ended as a result of a sudden economic crash, because of the effects from the times.

Imagine if instead of going to school you went to the Hitler Youth. The Hitler Youth was as important as regular school was. The Hitler Youth was Hitler's belief of what people should be: “The weak must be chiselled away. I want young men and women who can suffer pain. A young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel.” Hitler was teaching the youth what he thought was right.

From 1707-1763, The British colonies in America were breaking away from British norms but still not quite to the stage of rebellion. Colonists were in the stage between the birth of the colonies and American independence- an adolescent era. In 1707 to 1763, the British colonies of America showed adolescent qualities by establishing their own identity in their culture, government, and societal views.

The causes of the Rebellions of 1837 in Upper and Lower Canada have similarities and differences. For example, both Upper and Lower Canada had problems with their government, not having a representative or responsible one. They also both had a group, the Family Compact in Upper Canada and the Chateau Clique in Lower Canada, that had a lot of money and power. Another similarity is that they both had a document trying for change that got shut down by the government, Gourlay’s petition in Upper Canada, and the 92 Resolutions in Lower Canada. The proposed union of 1822 also contributed to the Rebellions of 1837 in both Upper and Lower Canada, as both they disapproved of union of the two colonies. The proposed union of 1822 could also be considered a difference in the causes of the rebellions, since the union would make the French in Lower Canada, a

The 1960’s was an important era in the development of Canada. The 60s youth had very different ideas on life compared to previous generations. Unlike their parents, the hippie generation didn’t enjoy the booming prosperity of Canada and preferred to take a different route in life. Young men grew out their hair and refused to wear suits, while the women burned their bras, and wore flowers in their hair. Many of the primary values were inspired by Martin Luther King Jr’s ideas of racial harmony and non-violent protests. The 60s focused on peace and civil rights. Music was commonly used to promote these ideas and created the concept of music festivals called "love-ins", which is simply where people gathered and sang abound world peace. Popular

As the decades change so do the teens. Teenagers from the 1960’s won’t exactly have the same ways of thinking or ways of speaking. The way of life back then was completely different and that has an impact on teens today. Old ways are thrown out and newer ones are brought in, attitudes change. Advance technology changes the way we interact with others compared to the 1960’s. The health concerns may or may not be the same as the health concerns in the year 2014. With teens changing constantly, how will the next generation of teens be like?

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. So, after looking around and pondering movies for weeks I finally decided on a perfect choice The 60's directed by Mark Piznarski?

I feel at age 20 you would feel more pressed for time to do all of the things that you wanted to do with your life. Many 20 year olds are usually in college starting their careers and lives, why would they want to be worrying about something that would not possibly happen until 50 years later? They would live there mid-life crises at a much younger age knowing that they have a predetermined end. I just feel that they would be living rushed lives in a sense because they know they have limited time, where as if you did not know when your life would begin to deteriorate you might experience life at a more steady pace.

The youth juxtapose their personality with their morals at a young age. Babies absorb most of their knowledge by the age of five. Within five years of life they technically learn everything. And it would appear the rest of their life is sorting that data and living it out. Ethan’s youth is my priority. A child's mind absorbs more than an adult’s. A successful quarterback spends more time watching film than playing on the field. I want to teach him how to watch the film before he ever plays a down.

World War II was a watershed event in British history. The era following it brought many changes in society, which were marked by an economic boom and an increased standard of living. Britain was determined to distance itself from the past by introducing an education system that would grant people equal opportunities of social mobility and would therefore create a de facto classless society. Thus the country‟s attention turned to youth, A lack of opportunities concerned the working-class youth primarily, who then dealt with their disenchantment in various ways. One of those was joining a subculture.Subcultures provided youth with a breakaway from their daily mundane routine and with a way of responding to the problems associated with their class.

All of the drastic change in fashion of the sixties came from the youth. They began to disregard old ways and develop their own new ways of dressing as well as thinking. Teenagers were
