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.

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

 What Is So Special About This Film? What is so special about it is the aesthetic this woman put into this video. She has such a cheery and fun voice that lights up the room. This woman has the dressing style down for this 1950's style video about beauty routines and how she does not talk bad about it either.  Some people in their videos they have some terrible things to say about the 50's while they are making a video about this time period. She thinks of doing this routine during the week to give yourself some self-care and be gentle with your skin and body.  The 50's themed music in this film makes it even more calming and has a relaxing vibe to it. She reminds me of my grandma who was born in the 1950's era and brings back some good memories.
