    The 1950s A typical 1950s 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”

    fashion. Leaving‚ I imagined the mall back in the 1950s. The bright colored outfits reminded me of today’s. Even though both the 1950s 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. 1950s and 2016’s women fashion are comparable in many ways.

    The history of Barbie’s trace back to the 1950s. Dolls have generally changed in size and appearance over the years. Growing up every holiday‚ birthday or Christmas I would want a new doll.
