    The Cold War stimulated the ‘fear of communism’, which had extremely cohesive and divisive implications amongst Australian society and politics. The fear of communism exercised it’s powerful influence over the minds of Australians from about 1949 with the beginning of the Cold War and the communist revolution in China, until about the end of Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War in 1972.

    Between the years 1950 and 1970, wages increased significantly allowing most families to achieve the then ideal of a male-breadwinner, single income household. Beginning in the 1970s there was an enormous economic shift in the United States. Going from a manufacturing based economy to a service based economy there was a large change in the types of jobs now available to men as more opportunities for women and those with higher education. The level of education an individual received now largely dictated what type of job they were eligible for and women, now able to provide for themselves and their families relied less on the ideals of a breadwinner, male run household as they were given more opportunities both in education and the workforce. New family dynamics relied heavily on whether or…

    As the establishments of our fledgling federation initiated at the launch of the 20th century, the inhabitants in Australia lived and worked in a society that the government interfered little in, known as the "laissez-faire" policy. This also meant that individuals were left to look after themselves, as they had no protection from the government as we do now, for example Medicare and insurance. Life in the early years of federation was quite different in comparison to our own community now more than a hundred years later. At the time it was the era of massive changes in technology and improvements in quality of life and health but there were still many lives of the poorer members of society that were left unchanged. Luxury was certainly one of the many absent desires of the working class people.…
