Clothing of the 1960's blossomed into a more scandalist fashion, which has remained since. Women started to wear less clothing and covering less skin, cutting their hair short, and wearing higher heels. Men's clothing was influenced by England's fashion mostly because of certain bands; including The Beatles, with suits, longer collars, and longer hair. Music of the 1960's evolved into a more rebellious rock and roll and encouraged young teens to be more original. The music placed new, cultured images of life into their brains. Elvis was a big worry for parents that he would send their children in the wrong path by his dancing and pelic thrusts. The way family lives were seen had changed; less children, more separation, less togetherness, and women taking part in more than just cooking and cleaning. With the Civil Rights Movement came less segregation and more racial equality. The racial activists finally recieved what they wanted when racial equality became lawful. Drugs became more acceptable among Hippies and teenagers because of the need for peace and for everyone to come together. Sexual interactions were more popular and more frequent, caused by the Hippie Movement. With the introduction of oral contraception ("The Pill"), more and more people were 'hooking up' because "The Pill" pushed the idea of intercourse being acceptable with no consquences and/or worries. The invention of the bar code scanner made shopping more popular and efficient, along with the ATM. With Vietnam happening, Hippies became even more active in freedom and peace, people were worried about their family members and friends over seas, getting angry with the government, and got nervous when watching the first broadcasted war on television. With Iraq being broadcasted more, people are wanting to get more involved in the military and becoming more patriotic. What do you think people's take on WW2 would be like if it was broadcasted on television. Please comment your answer. ||
