Punk vanguards from the seventies hailed from the East Coast and from Great Britain (the Ramones‚ the Clash‚ etc.). The Sex Pistols’ "Liar" and Blink182’s "What’s My Age Again?" demonstrates how conditions — social‚ political‚ and physical — are reflected in the nature of the music produced by these punk bands. The Sex Pistols emerged in the late seventies as one of the first politically charged punk

The literary work‚ To Kill A Mockingbird‚ by Harper Lee should continue to be a part of the Freshman curriculum. The book published in the 1960’s is relevant to the youth of today. It speaks truths and facts of the past that can’t be taught in a textbook and the themes found in the pages of this novel are needed in the world today. To Kill a Mockingbird is relevant today and should be taught as young as appropriate. In chapter eleven‚ Mrs. Dubose is seen as a racist and ill-tempered old lady who

Music from the 1960’s and 1970’s is much different than music of today. Classic rock was started in the 1960’s as a cause of the British invasion‚ which included the discovery of bands such as the Beatles‚ Led Zeppelin‚ and Pink Floyd. The British invasion influenced garage rock which many high school aged boys would participate in. Some examples of garage rock inspired bands are: the Yarbirds‚ the Animals‚ the Rolling Stones‚ the Kinks‚ and the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Also

In the early 1900’s the man was seen as the intellectual individual who takes care of their wife and family‚ who arrives home with the money and who was the supplier. However during the 1930’s this typical idea of the man’s role was extremely hard to keep ahold of due to The Great Depression. While the average woman worked on household dynamics and keeping the family afloat‚ the man was out looking for a job‚ or struggling to keep his current job. As a result‚ the average male came home at the end

times come new problems and different priorities to consider. From the 1920’s to the present day‚ many things have changed regarding the government‚ morally‚ and socially. In spite of this‚ some has remained the same. The social aspect of society has probably changed the most since the 1920’s. People rarely talk face-to-face anymore. Most if not all communication is done though either the Internet or with a phone. In the 20’s people would’ve had to send a letter or travel long distances to talk to

stereotypes were so abundant‚ and how terrible they were. To Kill a Mockingbird is very much still relevant today. Society does not take everyone in for who they are but they judge people if they don’t live up to certain expectations. Think about your environment and how others around you feel. Issues that happened a long time ago still happen today. People grow up with different beliefs‚ and moral education. For Instance‚ Walter Cunningham was poor and was isolated from all the other kids in school

War I that had initiated the Roaring Twenties gave way to the debilitating economic hardship of the later era. At the end of World War I‚ soldiers returned to the United States and Canada with money in their pockets and many new products on the market on which to spend it. At first‚ the recession of wartime production caused a brief but deep recession‚ known as the Post-WWI recession. Quickly‚ however‚ the U.S. and Canadian economies rebounded as returning soldiers re-entered the labor force and

I do not think affirmative action is appropriate for the United States today. Affirmative action had an important role back in the 1960’s‚ in the midst of the civil rights era. It was intended to promote equal opportunities to work and to education for minority groups (at that time African Americans). That was almost sixty years ago. Our culture has evolved since then‚ with each passing generation‚ racism and prejudice dies a little more. As a nation‚ we will continue to evolve‚ and the challenges

Despite being written in the 1950’s‚ some attributes along the course of this novel connect to our youth. Holden Caulfield‚ the protagonist‚ is a juvenile who expresses the growth of teenagers. Although our generation might be more technologically focused‚ that doesn’t change the impression of our rebellion towards those older than us; The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger demonstrates that this novel can still discussed as relevant today. Holden is still trying to get a grip at maturity as
