1960

Is life in the 1960s better than today? I feel that today's society is better than back then. I recently read an article about pros and cons about was society better than the 1960s? This side is saying that 1960s were better than today. This argument is valid because every human being man and women are being treated fairly. Today's society is greater than the 60s because we now have our first African American president, women are included into jobs, and now have advanced technology. Today’s

allowed to wear in the 1960s were pretty different to what people at schools wear today. The boys dress code back then was strict. For example, they had to wear trousers or slacks. Jeans were not permitted. Also, no running

The 1960s and 1970s were a significant time period in the history of the United States of America. The country faced many domestic social issues as well as issues and conflicts with foreign countries. Some issues included poverty, the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. The United States was involved in dangerous issues that did not directly affect them otherwise. Even at home in the states, discrimination was everywhere. These events were the root of the beginning of the hippie

the 1950s and the 1960s is perhaps one of the most contrasting transformations America has seen between decades. While the 1950s are painted as a time of prosperity, patriotism, and tradition, the 1960s is described as a decade of activism, rebellion, and turmoil. As the baby boomer generation transitioned into adulthood, they became loud advocates for their beliefs and notions of freedom. As with any powerful push for change, the backlash was intense. In the case of the 1960s, “the flower children”

The first few things that come to mind about the 1960’s are love and peace, but do the events from this time period all really display these qualities? In the 1960’s one could see colorful clothing, peace signs, and hear upbeat music. However it’s also true that at this time America lacked rights and respect for women and African Americans. It wasn’t all happiness and love, there was much hate and protests broke out frequently, not to mention this was the time period in which both John F. Kennedy

Was the 1960s better than present day? When I read the article in my eighth grade english language arts class I instantly knew that the ‘60s was better than modern times. Some people may say that modern times are better than the ‘60s because the 1960s had less equality. I would defend that by saying that women’s rights are still not equal to men’s right. Women get paid less for doing the same job as a man. Three reasons I believe that the ‘60s is better than today are, it is safer than children,

The 1960's in the United States To some people the 1960s were the best of times, to others it was a period where many things went wrong in society. Why do people have such different ideas about the 1960s? Many people who lived through the 60s decade feel it was revolutionary; a ‘swinging’ period after years of austerity and gloom with the young people commanding the army of change. This view however, has been challenged. Some think that the 60s have a misguided

The Different Impressions of People About the 1960s During the 1950s to the 1960s there was many changes in society. Many dramatic events of the twentieth century happened in the sixties, such Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, Cuban missile Crisis, and John F Kennedy’s assassination. The Vietnam War and the first men on the moon,but the sixties was blamed for many things going wrong in society For teenagers the sixties was a great time for them, they could

I believe that there wouldn’t be just one person or event that would exemplify the changing US society of the 1960s on through the 1970s. There were multiple people, movements, perceptions and different problems that came with each event. The 1960s and 1970s was an era where sociologists were pushed and forced to face problems in those specific events and those problems became of interest to them to make a social change. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the people that was pushed into

Popular Culture in Britain at the Beginning of the 1960s In this essay I will describe the key features of popular culture in Britain at the beginning of the 1960s. In the late 40-50s, life was drab, uniform and restrained. People generally had a low standard of living as a result of the Second World War. This was formally known as austerity. There were also people during this time period who were known as “angry young men”. These people complained about society, without
