Making a powerful statement for black equality‚ African Americans took the world to its knees in the era of the 1950’s-1960’s by forming the Black Panther Party. This movement displayed an intolerance for harsh accusations‚ brutality and unjust treatment. At that time African Americans made a huge impact on every race‚ not just their own. The group wanted to ensure that all African Americans would have access to an equal opportunity in employment‚ education‚ housing‚ and granted entry to every public

Modernism of Fashion: 1950’s and Today Styles tend to cycle‚ but fashion itself is ever-changing and evolving. Fashion and its styles change continually. It has evolved accordingly to the time‚ culture‚ and society it is in. The similarities and differences of modern fashion today and modern fashion in the 1950s may appear obvious while others are subtler. World War II had ended in 1945 and is recognized in the fashion world as a “period of transition”. The whole 1950’s decade of fashion was very

The 1950’s A typical 1950’s family was nothing like the ideal family in today’s generation. Back then a typical family was a mom and a dad and several children. This is nothing like the current generation‚ where there are pregnant 16 year olds who think its ok to get pregnant out of wedlock because they see that on television. Everyone sat down to a home cooked meal together‚ unlike today where both men and women go to work and so they wind up eating something quick. Shows like “Leave it to Beaver”

Even though both the 1950’s women fashion and 2016’s women fashion are bold in style‚ there are many similarities and differences in the two year’s fashion senses and their impressions on America’s fashion industry. 1950’s and 2016’s women fashion are comparable in many ways.

Conformity and Compliance During the 1950’s The 1950’s are often labeled as an era of conformity and complacency. But how valid is this label? Could the same radical and rebellious Americans of the 1960’s be submissive and compliant just one decade earlier? The answer (for the most part) is yes. The suburbanization‚ consumerism/materialism‚ second Red Scare‚ and "cult of domesticity"� of the 1950’s exemplify this accepting and submissive attitude of Americans. However‚ there are some exceptions.

Racial Segregation Imagine the position of an African American person in the 1900’s? Just because of their skin color‚ they had to have permission to do certain things‚ and laws against them and their rights. Having separate bathrooms or water fountains than everyone else. Although racial segregation isn’t as big of a problem today‚ it was a major issue to most everyone in the 1900’s.
