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.

Why Mental Asylums Were Bad in the 1950's

During the 1950’s, more than half a million people in the United States were in mental asylums and lots of them were in there for life. At one point, there was not even enough beds for all the patients being admitted. These places were so widely supported and were deemed as helpful for those with mental illnesses. At least by societies standards. Many babies are put into these asylums for the slightest thing along with children. Almost everyone was labeled as a person with a disability. Mental asylums at this time period were promoted as a safe space for all ages of people to get treatment for their illnesses. This was not the case at all.
