The 1950's is a decade that touches my soul. Throughout this course, I will be informing the audience about anything that started or happened during the 1950's. This is an opportunity for everyone including myself, to learn more about our history, such as: historical icons, morals, teenage life, etc. I have always been a person of little interest in school. I would rarely find a lecture fun, but once I heard a lecture about the 50s, I found myself enjoying every bit of information. Not many people believe in this, but I have felt that I used to live in that era. I love the entertainment, as well as, the automobiles.
Entertainment was an important feature of the 50s. There was a lot of music, theater, and television. There was the new rockabilly genre that was created by the most famous Elvis Presley. One television show, I Love Lucy, was a well known comedy show. Any man's favorite entertainment, Playboy Magazine, had begun. From there came the rising star, Marilyn Monroe. There were many more kinds of famous artists.
Fashion was not something excluded. Mostly everyone, especially teenagers had an eye for fashion. Teenagers used it to separate each other in groups; not as different as today. There were squares, greasers, rebels, and even geeks. Cars were in some way fashionable. Greasers loved to use hot rods, as you may have seen in the movie " Grease", or even in the video game " Mafia 2". Vehicles had begun to be a little more popular again after war problems.. For example, the very first Chevrolet Impala in 1958; which is my dream car. More information and depth will be given about the 1950's in time.
