When one looks at 1950’s it appears very passive on the surface, yet there is an ugly underbelly.
Discuss the good and bad of this decade.
Some but not all the issues to discuss are culture-movies, books, tv, role of family, baby boomers, suburban growth. You might include role of women then and today including working women today forced to give up jobs because of virus.
There were also changes taking place. Discuss the cold war (including Red Scare), Korean War, Civil rights (Jim Crow, segregation, Till, Parks, Jackie Robinson).
Feel free to include anything else that you deem suitable.
Sources: Use the internet. At least 3 sources none of which should be a textbook. One of the sources must be an e-book.
Citations: It is very important to cite sources within the text. The more the better. If you do not it is plagiarism.
Bibliography: List sources at the end. This is not part of the 4-5 pgs
