What Influenced Cleanliness For Adults and Children

When things go south during the 1950's era, they make educational videos to educate the public.

This is not a bad idea to do, I think we should have educational videos like this as advertisements along with those for car insurances, and more.

Specifically in 1951, many adults made a good film on how children need to have good hygiene and how to maintain it.

By watching these videos today they do have important information but seems like it would be terrifying for children at this time since I saw a giant tooth influencing kids.

I do have to mention, I love the narration they do for these videos they produced back in the 50's. The men have calm asmr voices.

They do include videos such as brushing your teeth, washing your hands, showering daily, washing your dishes, and cleaning up your house.

What shocked me to find out was how bars of soap during this time were used for everything including laundry.

Many of these producers for these videos concentrated on how people were supposed to look representable and beautiful.

They focused a lot on looks and how happy and successful people were on the outside rather looking inward.

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance. Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to. This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process. All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day. Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...

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...

Why Did Narrators From The 1950s Always Sound The Same?

Commercial radio broadcasting started within the 1920's and moved through the 1950's era. Soon enough people listened less to the radio and went for televisions as they became cheaper. This is because TV's back in the early 50's were very expensive that only the rich got to watch any shows or interviews. As you know lots of people tuned into the radio to hear about politics, Broadway shows, news broadcasts, and more to hear about what is going on in the world. What is shocking to find out is that people who were in radio broadcasts and in motion picture films sounded so similar was because they were taught to speak a certain way. Many people who taught what is called the transatlantic accent in radio and motion picture studios at the time. When the radio was introduced to the world, microphones sounded tinnier and had a very different frequency. Many companies wanted their speakers to adopt and accent so that they were heard clearly by the public and ...
