What changes do you think made the biggest impact on American society and culture in the 1950s?

History

ANEK [815]2 years ago
5 0

During the 1950s, a sense of uniformity pervaded American society. Conformity was common, as young and old alike followed group norms rather than striking out on their own. Though men and women had been forced into new employment patterns during World War II, once the war was over, traditional roles were reaffirmed. Men expected to be the breadwinners; women, even when they worked, assumed their proper place was at home. Sociologist David Riesman observed the importance of peer-group expectations in his influential book, The Lonely Crowd. He called this new society "other-directed," and maintained that such societies lead to stability as well as conformity. Television contributed to the homogenizing trend by providing young and old with a shared experience reflecting accepted social patterns.

In one hundred to one hundred and fifty words, discuss how the American people have responded to aid Middle Eastern independence
Dahasolnce [82]

Explanation:

There are many different trains of thought that lead Americans to their own mindset about the aid of Middle Eastern independence. Generally speaking, there are many people who believe that the United States should be the Police of the world or the hero of smaller countries and help them since they have the power to do so. Others believe that the United States has no rights of interfering in foreign affairs and should mind their own business. There are those who just don't agree with the idea of sending kids to die for other countries as well, no matter why.

Which factors influence us economic foreign policy?check all that apply​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The one item in the list that doesn't influence US economic foreign policy would be "opposing free trade agreements."  That would not be something that influences US economic foreign policy, but an action that would be an exercise of what is called "economic nationalism."  Economic nationalism seeks to avoid foreign economic entanglements and protect the businesses of one's own nation.  It's sort of the opposite of economic foreign policy, more of a domestic response against foreign influences on the domestic economy
