American Dream in L.A.
[ send me this paper ]
In the fifties, the 'age of suburbia', the American dream was epitomized by the ability to own a home, live in safety and in a community of like minded souls. The great exodus from the cities to the suburbs defined the American idea of 'the good life'. This 5 page paper suggests that while the belief in the American Dream is closely aligned to the growth and popularity of suburbs, Los Angeles is a perfect example of how suburbs were the precursor to a geographical division based on race and class.

American Families & The Nostalgia Myth / The Way We Never Were
[ send me this paper ]
Focusing primarily upon the argument in Stephanie Coontz's (1992) book by same title, the writer of this 5 page paper presents the argument that each generation has looked upon the one previous to it and commented on how pure and innocent things were back in the proverbial "good ol' days." In actuality, however, morality was never as high in the past as we are led to believe. We are "brainwashed" by family-orientated television programs to believe that during the 50's and 60's, people were more "innocent" when in reality, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, drug abuse, etc.;-- soared-- sometimes to levels much higher than today. This social phenomenon is explored in great detail. Bibliography also cites 2 additional sources.
