sexism in the 1950's

This poster displays sexism because is says how much electricity does it have, then shows a woman doing house work that requires electricity.  This poster is saying that there is enough for the woman to get all the house work done with out ruining out.  It also shows a young boy in a workshop with his dad and their plugging in a electrical cord.  That is stating that the men are the ones that do the building while the women are the ones that do the cleaning.

impact of television on society

The impact the television had on the people of the 1950's was that before everyone was out doing this and out of their house but once television was introduced people began to spend more time at home watching it. At first since television was not being broadcast 24/7 it did not effect people as much as it does today.  In todays time people spend hours a day in front of the television and it causes people to become lazy sitting on the couch all day.

short story

One day me and my two brothers had to spend the day with our grandmother, non of us were really all that excited about it.  Well at a quarter to 12 she arrived at our house and we all headed out. The first thing we did was go to the zoo and my two older brothers were acting as if they were to cool to be with her, you could tell she was getting upset and eventually we went to lunch at a local diner.  While waiting on our food she started to tell us about her childhood and that made my two older brothers really interested and we all started to talk and share stories and by the end she bought all of us a pice of pie.
