The 1950's No Better Than TodayI lived in the 1950's "Leave it to Beaver," "Ozzie and Harriet" Was NOT the typical Home. The unskilled Laborer worked for 75 cents and hour. Those in the lower half of society were not paid enough to cover the costs of rent,food, utilities, all at the same time-Its alot like today 2006. Their was talking to your neighbor but the Mythical Community, fell way short of what was portrayed on TV programs. It was still fighting for survivial, dog eat dog.

It is possible that the upper classes had a lifestyle close to 1950's TV programs. but not the bottom half who worried about enough food to eat.

The early 1950's had the same SILENCE of reality, as is kept on those living the nighmare of poverty today. The status quo-Is "do not make people aware of the circumstances of those we underpay, the working poor.

Children died due to polio, and not enough to eat. Until Martin Luther King Jr. No one knew this.

What cultural values do you suppose television reflected during the 1950s What cultural values does televsion programming have today?

Television programming in the 1950s reflected the conservative life style of the period. All the nuclear families had a mother, father and children all living together. In most cases, the women in sitcoms did not work, or in the case of 'I Love Lucy,' were so incompetent they couldn't work. Women were portrayed in passive, supportive roles, and father always knew best. Today's programming, like the fifties, reflects the social reality of today. Many shows reflect single parents, women who work important jobs, and families who are flawed, but relatable.
