1.) In the 1950s the government built a steel mill, an oil refinery and many hydroelectric dams. The government also set up a bank that had the explicit purpose of lending money to new businesses. 2.) In an attempt to combat poverty, the Brazilian government instituted a variety of development programs. Most of these programs have focused on developing the industrial sector and also on encouraging people to migrate to Brazil's sparsely populated interior regions. 3.) Another great success was the creation and widespread use of the alcohol-based fuel - gasohol, which is a mix of gasoline and ethanol. By using ethanol (which comes from sugarcane), Brazil has been able to avoid spending large amounts of money on expensive foreign oil. These efforts have resulted in manufacturing now accounting for one third of Brazil's gross national product and status as one of the world's leading industrial nations.

Main stream entertainment in Australia depended pretty well on American and English artists with a smattering of Australian and NZ artists thrown in on the radio and live shows; television also arrived in Australia in 1956.

Most people during the 1950's went to regular Saturday Night dances and to "the pictures"/movies. People also entertained themselves with local card and bridge games, lawn bowls, bingo, croquet, following the races or listening to the football.

'Biggles' was a Favourite regular radio show, as was the school-class comedy, "Yes; what?" 'Billy Bouncer/Uncle Norman' was a favorite, pre-school radio show.

Uncle Norman [Norman Swain] eventually hosted a children's television show. His competitors wee also running kids' shows, such as Happy Hammond and the Tarax [soft drink] Shows also commenced late in the decade.

Soon after television arrived, some favourite regular series were Superman, the Cisco Kid, Roy Rogers, the Disney Mousketeers, etc.

Some churches and youth centres, such as YMCA, also ran programmes and entertainment of various kinds for the public and youth.

When rock'n'roll hit the waves, Johnny O'Keefe from Sydney, quickly made a huge name for himself, with his own unique style, being locally dubbed, "The King" - having television shows and big hit records. To give some idea of the strength of his popularity and influence, it would be fair to say that no one even since his day has been any 'bigger' in the Australian pop scene than was 'JOK', as he was also often called. Frank Ifield was also just coming into his own by the end of the 1950's in the country music scene.

However, as in the 1950's, even as now, the Aussies tended to use sport as their main form of entertainment. Horse racing, AFL football, rugby, soccer and basketball in winter & surfing, cricket, yachting, swimming, tennis, etc. in summer; plenty of picnics in its wide open spaces. Overall, Melbourne is probably the capital of much of this; and they have some excellent comedy clubs.

Agriculture- The agriculture sector suffered from low productivity and stagnation was saddled with surplus labour.It contributed more than 50% of the national product. Poverty- Indian economy was shsttered economy on the eve of independence.poverty was all prevailing and wide-spread. Per capita income was very low.

Depending upon which country you're talking about, everything is under copyright for at least 70 years. (The time of answering is 2011) At this moment, 40's songs should not be under copyright in some countries anymore, although others will vary.

Songs from the 1940s will be protected by copyright if they were published with proper notice and their US copyrights were renewed at 28 years, and in the public domain if they were not. Unfortunately there is no easy way to find out if a song was renewed (you would need to order a search of the paper records at the Library of Congress, which is expensive), so it's often just safest to assume it was.

Recordings from the 1940s are still protected, under state copyright laws of the USA, and will not enter the public domain until February 15, 2067 at the earliest, which is when the federal law pre-empts the state laws. Copyrights for sound recordings in other countries vary.

The music in the 50's was important as well from the 40's. IT is beause during these time periods there were many promblems in that time such as the World War 2 , British invasion and more promblems . So the 50's of music and 40's came to create

To MAKE music, acoustic instruments were used for most purposes. The only electronic instruments were electronic organs (the Hammond organ was introduced in 1934 and competitors soon followed), electric guitars and theremins (mostly used in movie scores).

To RECORD music, the vast majority of recordings were made using microphones, tube (valve) amplifiers, and cutting lathes that cut 78-rpm discs. These held 3 to 5 minutes of music on each side and were manufactured like cookies, pressing molten globs of plastic between stampers that held "negatives" of the original disk, with ridges matching the grooves that would be stamped into the plastic. The plastic was very stiff and did not take detailed impressions, so the sound quality was only somewhat better than a modern telephone.
