Promt:
Your answer must cover all of the following
First, describe life in the 1950s (historical information and details).
Then pick one or more quotes from the list of the documents (you can
use more than one) that will explain whether, in their minds, the 1950s
society was good or bad. Provide historical details to support your
analysis of the document. You can state that it was both good and bad,
but it depended on the individual.
Next, what changes do you see in modern America (stick with the same topic and provide specific examples)?
Think about:
Gender roles
Conformity
Military Spending
Politics/Government
Teenagers
Corporate America
Or anything else I might have missed.
