1970s America's Reaction To The 1970s

I can assume a common person in the 1960 would find information in a library. I think information literacy was despite the fact they did not have the technology like we have now days, it was something people would still have to learn to get accurate information. Newspapers, phone books, radio, library with tons of books and encyclopedias were also part of that era that started the necessity for inventors to create what we have today. Information literacy then and now I think it was the same practice just with the different tools. Resources now are less heavy but with the same content or maybe more than the 1960 's. A Mac air is less heavy than an encyclopedia back in the day.

The first, and perhaps largest, issue regarding the rebellious attitudes of American people during the 1960’s was the dysfunction or absence of the family or family members. Today, this issue still plagues many families and the minds of the children that belong to these deviant families. The Lord outlines the perfect model of a family. “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord … Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her … Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right” (Ephesians 5:22,25, 6: 1 English Standard Version). If a man does not love Christ first and love his wife more than himself, the children will suffer. If a woman does not love Christ first or respect her husband, the

We’ve all heard it: the strong academic record, proficient in three sports, president of a few clubs, vibrant social life, and still getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night. The idealistic belief of a student, a goal to continuously strive towards. As students in a stressful, sometimes competitive atmosphere, we evaluate ourselves often and notice our flaws, but often miss our strengths. The idea of an idyllic description of the proper student forces down the general individualism often treasured in a learning environment. Rather than pushing down a student’s personal identity, it is necessary to express yourself and be your true self in public.

United States v. Nixon and Clinton v. Jones should have had the same outcome from the Supreme Court. Both, former President 's violated the law and wanted to use presidential privileges to dismiss their cases. In the United States v. Nixon, the Court had the right to order the President to relinquish the tapes to Congress to use as evidence for the trial against the seven members held accountable. Those accused were owed a duty by the Court to be given a fair and speedy trial. In the Clinton v. Jones case, the Court should have not granted the former President Clinton immunity because the general public needs to realize that not even the President can violate the law and get away with it. I agree with the Supreme Court on placing emphasizes on keeping the presidential power in check but respecting the doctrine of separation of powers. The Court has the power to hear cases that involve federal questions because the

The 1950s was not only a time of a growing threat of communism and the fear of nuclear war, but it was also a time of increasing satisfaction in the latest consumer product: the television. TVs captivated the American public to the point where books were being forgotten about. Though books were still being bought and sold, some never made it to the shelf because of the growing amount of government censorship. The government not only censored books, but they also censored movies, content on radios, and other creative works. This censorship controlled what the American public read, watched, and heard, which in turn limited the information available to the public. Ray Bradbury, an author of this era, wrote one of his most famous books, Fahrenheit 451, inspired by the new technology and government corruption in the 1950s. Through Bradbury’s use of effective character development and symbolism, he is able to illustrate the problems of government censorship and technology in his futuristic dystopia in his novel Fahrenheit 451.

Countless people evaluate their life and wish they had the chance to grow up in a different era or decade. An era like The Great Gatsby, everything so grand and luxurious, or a decade like the 50s, when teenagers hung out at the local diner and drove in vintage (vocab word) cars. Nevertheless, nobody gets to choose when they are born. Growing up in any decade, all children experience similar occurrences such as puberty, relationships, and finding themselves; however, growing up in the 80s is vastly different than growing up in today’s world but they both face distinct challenges.

Earth day was first celebrated in United States in 1970. Hippies were primarily the ones who got Earth day passed by the government. Disco was very popular as well; People would go to nightclubs and strobe lights and mirror balls would be everywhere, the latest 70’s hits would also be playing. The Vietnam War, The Battle of Civil Rights and music affected a lot of the fashion in 70’s.

Pop culture during the 1970s originated as a consequence of the historical context of the era. The official end of the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and the Bicentennial of the United States all occurred during this decade. As a result, a variety of social groups such as women, gays and lesbians, as well as racial and ethnic minorities confronted the American conservative ideals that had governed American society since the end of World War II. Conservative white Americans reacted to the civil rights gains that took place in the 1960s and moved to the suburbs of the city, leading to city deterioration. Ultimately the decline of the city allowed for the creation of cultural spaces (disco clubs) that in turn challenged normative American social values.

In the 1960’s the American Dream had to do with basic Human Rights. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was in the forefront of the Civil Right Movement to fight for these rights, and had many supporters. Americans in the 1960’s were asking for equal rights to vote, to sit where they wanted on busses and in restaurants, and they did not want to be judged by their skin tone. Now, Americans dream of celebrity status. We can sit where we want to on busses and in restaurants, and people are judged less and less by the color of their skin. The American Dream has tremendously changed from the 1960’s because it used to be about equal rights, ending segregation, and voting, and now everyone just wants to be rich and famous.

During the presidency of Nixon, he was able to come up with a domestic policy that seemed to have helped the United States and prove effective.

The "deceitful ideology" is belief that a families happiness rested on the shoulders of women and by their ability to perfectly preform household tasks. This ideology also discourages women from challenging or disagree with their husbands and if the marriage fails it was the womans fault. This ideology still exists and has evolved to include a successfully career outside of the home. However it seems this ideology doesn't matter as much as it did in the 1950s and 1960s since more people are accepting of a womens choice to have a family or career or both.

The 1960s was a major hit for music. They had some of the greatest bands that are still considered popular today. In which the term “Pop culture” comes in. In the 1960s the music was more of a rock and roll music. The 1960 's were a time of upheaval in society, fashion, attitudes and especially music. The 1960s started the love for music because a number of bands that came from the 60s are still considered an icon in music. The 1960s was the bloomer for music. There were a lot of great musicians the main ones I 'm going to talk about is The Beatles, The Rolling Stone, The Beach Boys.

The 1960s was a great development era for film, theater, and television. Unlike most of today’s motion pictures, where it is socially acceptable to see couples of any gender sleeping with or having sexual contact with on television, couples on T.V. in the 60’s were not seen sleeping together. Some shows or movies would have even had separate beds on set. Film, theater, and television has come a long way since the 60s; Causes of this could include the Vietnam War, inauguration of President John F. Kennedy and other popular developments.

The 1980s, known as an image driven decade, was a time full of new technology. The new technology of the 80s transformed the way movies were made and seen by viewers. The decade was a time of transformation in both technology and film.
