70s

A Far Out Decade Everyone loved the 70’s. It was better than the 60’s. And even better than the 50’s. In fact, the 1970’s put those decades to shame when it sauntered in with its bell bottomed pants, comfortable cotton shirts, and sparkly jumpsuits. People wore large gold chains, vibrant and wild colored prints, and snazzy platform heels as they casually strolled into town. Music genres in the 70’s were quite varied- with rock, hard rock, heavy metal, soft rock, southern rock, country pop, and disco

Of all the decades in the history of the United States, few experienced comparable growth to that of the 1920s and 1990s. I believe these two decades, while 70 years apart, display similarities in terms of economic growth, and subsequent downturn. While there can be no real obvious similarities between entire decades, economic similarities are apparent but not identical in timeline or structure, and can be found by looking at the behavior of each period’s respective stock markets and that of their

throughout the 60’s and 70’s carrying on to the 90’s. Without the Women’s Liberation Movement women wouldn’t have received changes in laws primarily regarding employment impacting on them moving forward in terms of equal opportunities. However there is still a there is still process to be made concerning employment and social roles for women to have equal rights as men. The Women’s Liberation Movement started in the 60’s during the second wave of feminism. Even though the 70’s were a time of change

use in the 70s, and the continued use even up to today, it is crazy to think that a plant could cause such an uproar. Marijuana has always had a stigma against it for obvious reasons, people are scared of what they don’t know or what they think that they know. The belief nowadays is that we are beginning to end our hate for the drug. Because of this sudden shift in our way of thinking I believe that the plant should be legal for regular use. Since being officially outlawed in the 70s with Controlled

This was a cross-sectional study that took place in the early 70’s, with the connection between physical activity and helping combat depression in the elderly demographic. The value of exercise is widely known for a plethora of reasons, but in regard to depression it has been an invaluable outlet for many; “increased feelings of self-efficacy, self- perceptions of control and mastery, reduced physiologic responses to stress, and beneficial effects on neurotransmitters such as increased serotonin

The United States in the 1960-70’s was in a turbulent time marked by a myriad of individual protests that could be traced to such absurd productions as peace and free-love, stopping the Vietnam war and civil rights for every citizen. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion and national origin as it was originally debated in Congress. The little word “sex” was later added by the powerful Southern Congressman Howard “Judge” Smith of Virginia (Shafritz

Being in the military and working 70 hours a week is very stressful. If you tag on going to school and having tests and projects due on a certain day life might even seem overwhelming at times. One of the things i have always been good at is managing my time. I focus on the goals i have set for myself and what needs to be done to accomplish those goals. However, i can’t be studying and working 24/7 so i have to make time to relax and reenergize at the same time. The strategy that i use to manage

A central theme that became apparent in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s was the challenging of conformity. Throughout this time period music was one of the items young people used to challenge the conformity of the previous generations. Bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Rolling Stones were very popular at this time and promoted this idea of being your own person and to not follow everybody else, which can be seen through songs such as “Free Bird” and “Paint it Black” by each band respectively. These people

In the 1960s and 70s, the Nicaraguan Revolution indicated the rebellion against the Somoza dictatorship. This coup showed a massive shift in the political geography of Nicaragua at the time. The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN, Frente Sandinista de Liberacion) usurped the established Somozas and soon after engaged in warfare with the Contras in the 1980s in what is now known as the Contra War. This bloody period of Nicaragua’s history saw a shifting in the political structure and geography

The 50s are not totally “ happy” days. In American history the post war 1950s, was a unforgettable era. T.V. shows were made, showing early childhood experiences in 1950s. For example, some shows such as "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER" and "FATHER KNOWS BEST". These shows leave viewers with historical facts from the past. Not everyone was happy, a group of civilians and nonconformists pointed out the flaws in a suburb they believed had no moral, a government that was growing viciously with power. A lifestyle
