Trends in American Postwar period
Trends in Postwar American Culture and Society by Roland Marchand
Roland basically created this chart to show some of the cultural trends after the postwar. He uses this chart to argue his claim that a more similar popular culture than anything Americans had ever known emerged in the postwar period and the similarity often appeared as a “decline of class and regional differences in clothing and recreation”. The results from the chart show that there was a rapid change in the number of under age kids getting arrested rose during the mid 14’s and 60’s. Disapproval of women wearing shorts decreased making it ‘okay’ to show extra skin in public. Miles of motor travel across the United States had been under predicted because the number of people who took rode trips was more than double the prediction. This article states many things such as students hoped to organize the resources of technology, the university, corporations, and government to get rid of poverty and racism therefore their agenda being to reform. It also says that people of this generation that over the course of war and what has been change to the condition of humanity. The students who go to college feel the inequality throughout the campus weather they’re in classes or dorm or frat houses. The United States and its citizens believe that we have the greatest economy in the world but that is a false statement because there are other countries out there that have a better working economy. When it comes to politicians no one know what to believe and the American people at this time felt as if they’re statements weren’t as good as they could of have been they weren’t believable. All of the talk of inequality gave African Americas the hope during the Civil Rights movement.
Americans that were born during the depression grew up at a time when a number of economic and demographic factors met in an extremely favorable way. There was more wealth to go around and a decline in the number of people to share it.
