Answer:

D. They are considered to be workaholics.

Explanation:

For baby boomers, work is a way of life. Unlike the younger generations, they prefer stability (lasting decades in their jobs) and think in the long term, since they believe that hard work is the guarantee to enjoy good years of retirement.

Their rigorous work ethic leads them to think that success in life is largely defined by their professional prestige and the positions they occupy in their workplace. It is so much their commitment that they often reproach young people for their culture of immediacy and (perceived) laziness.

For this generation, authority within the workplace is linked to the time, experience and contributions made to the corporation. Naturally, the more time, experience and contributions, the greater the authority should be.

The origin of this mentality has to do with the time in which they were born and grew up (1946-1964), a time when competition in work and education was very intense. So this generation learned that hard work would be rewarding for the gain of positions.

This obsession with work goes hand in hand with a strong feeling of independence, which often makes them question the establishment and hierarchies, even in their workplace. Thus, two options would be ruled out (A and E). Likewise, they grew up during a time of profound social changes (the postwar period, the beginning of the Cold War, the advent of the hippie movement), which has led them not to conform to rules and develop an important social consciousness . With this, we discard options B and C.

Compare and contrast the musical output of the following musicians: Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly. How
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The US was still much more segregated and entrenched with conservative attitudes around the 1950s, with the civil right movement yet to develop a decade later; the big labels were not really interested in rock and roll at the time until Elvis with his swagger and more charisma than the other artists in the list <em>(mostly the way he was marketed)</em> what made him king due selling more records than anyone else and in a way that no one did before.

White artists rarely did better than original Black artists on the pop charts when making cover versions of R&B;  Chuck Berry used to record on independent R&B labels with influences of CW as a previous attempt to appeal to pop audiences blending R&B + CW, what was called as the <em>"Whitening"</em> of R&B, which influenced artists such as Buddy Holly and Bill Haley who was a Diskjockey that further helped in better introducing that sound to white audiences due being <em>"white"</em> himself, but not in the same way Elvis could later on.

R&B and CW were both influenced by Jazz and Swing; albeit most of their sounds and tempos are different, their lyrics, chords, melodies, and themes were similar, both reflected the down economy of that time in history, which resonated with most people across the social spectrum, bringing them together somehow, making them realize they had more things in common than they thought; the <em>"Elvis phenomenon"</em> capitalized this better than other previous trends, due to his rags to riches story, genuinely aligned with the American dream.
