Making a Sandwich the 1950's Way

The video starts off with an old style television, our screen point of view is in black and white, and with light music.

The music reminds me of Wii loading screen jingle. Afterwards they color our screen and show us a sentence, "Let's Make a Sandwich."

Goes on to say that sandwiches are necessary and that it is Americanized. It shows two children drinking a soda and eating a wrapped sandwich.

They show a mother and daughter on our screen and they demonstrate how to make a good and proper sandwich.

The view is of all of their ingredients on the table in front of them and they are both dressed in their accurate attire.

The mother brings out the bread and the narrator has to say everything they are doing but does not include their thoughts on making the sandwich.

The writers of this commercial, I guess you could say is demonstrating that women are the only ones who do the cooking and they have to in order to feed their family.

There is no footage of men or boys helping in the kitchen and this script is the definition of what society wants everyone to be like and look like.

I do have to say they went with the right choice to make sure their actresses keep their hair back so they do not have any loose hairs in the meals.

The way that the narrator labels the pan as the simmer flame is what threw me off and confused me as I have never heard anyone say this before.

In all, the writers accurately represented on how people make sandwiches in real life and how not to make a mess either.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco
