People in the 1950's Were not Clean

This video starts off with a medical doctor reacting to 1950's health films. As usual they use a narrator over the film.

I would it was the trend back in the 50's to use narration for everything and I do like it in my opinion.

It starts off with the film of a young boy running with his dog and the reactor seems amused by this concept.

He pokes fun at the dogs name which was Mr.dorag. I have to agree that naming your dog this name is odd but it is cute as well.

Moves onto how back in the day there was an awareness for kids not to get overtired from playing too much outside.

In today's world children are more at home with their iPads or watching television all day and not ever outside anymore. This doesn't speak for all children but the majority.

The next film that should be discussed is how people used singing in commercials to spread awareness or to go along with a product someone is selling.

Which is not uncommon as we still use this tactic today but not as much as the 1950's.

One thing the reactor in this video said was how they needed a commercial about people washing themselves and learning about cleanliness.

I can see why they had a film about getting people to clean themselves more and to keep up with their hygiene.

As it was common that people got dirty more and they had less easy ways to clean themselves compared to today. I think some did not learn from their parents either.

There is another commercial that is worth mentioning is that this little kid was eating unhealthy all day and that is why his stomach hurts.

Which from the medical doctor states this is not true, he had symptoms of a viral gastroenteritis.

This means this little kid has the stomach flu and is not evidence of eating too much or too unhealthy.

The film that should be around in 2021 is the one about periods and how to prepare children for their menstrual cycles.

What to expect with a period and what to do to deal with period cramps, bloating, and backaches.

In all of this, the reactor was professional and had some great advice for people today.

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

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...

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair. They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well. The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era. Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous. Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well. I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing! Women's Hairstyles in the 1950s Many of the women in this time period went for the short hair with curls as a way to look fancy and presentable....
