How has the decade of 1970's helped changed today's society?

There were actually two decades that changed America: the Sixties with the opposition to the Vietnam war, the Pill and the Woman's Liberation movement, and then the Seventies, the decade of the I-generation, the No-Fault divorce laws that brought about a slow deterioration of family life. You can sum up these changes with an overall statement that they have caused today's difficulty of maintaining workable family relationships. For human relationships are built on alikeness, that with a more diverse elements going into a relationship, has become more difficult to maintain. It still remains to be seen whether these changes of allowing more freedoms, will also have a positive effect on our society. You can read much more about this problem in the chapter "In The Wake of the Sixties" in Meyer's book on "Marriages, Shack-ups and Other Disasters."

What was the name of the discount department store at Herald Square along with Macy's and Gimbels that closed in the 1970s?

I BELIEVE IT WAS KORVETTES

It WAS EJ Korvettes. I was working at Gimbels during that time and remember when Korvettes finally "gave up the ghost".

E J Korvette was never in Herald Square. It was on 5th Avenue, several blocks away from Macy's and Gimbels. You might be thinking of "Saks 34th". Saks Fifth Avenue used to be owned by Gimbels -- there were TWO Saks stores in Manhattan ... the better known and more prestigious Saks Fifth Avenue and the less prestigious and cheaper Saks 34th Street. That closed around 1970. There was also Sterns which closed in the 1980s (I think)... it wasn't in Herald Square though -- it was on 42nd Street. One close by Macy's was a great store called Franklin Simon -- on 34th Street a block east of Macy's and Gimbels.

Hope this helped.

stern's was actually located on 34th and 35th st beteween 5th and Madison

Why were the American people disillusioned in the 1970s?

The 70's received the "spill over" from the 60's. People living in the 60's & 70's, if they were age 60 thru 70, had been born in 1900 or the 1890's. That particular age group of US Citizens had lived thru the horse and buggy days, out-side bathrooms (out houses), NO air conditioning, NO refrigerators, NO TV's, NO modern appliances of today. That age group was raised by parents who had settled the US Frontier on HORSEBACK.

Now, take that age group of United States Citizens, and move them through the evolution of automobiles, propeller driven airplanes, JET powered airplanes, space vehicles, LANDING A MAN ON THE MOON, deep sea underwater exploration submarines, fighting wars in the SKY (World War I & World War II), THE ATOMIC BOMBS, the Korean & Vietnam Wars, and Assassinations of US Presidents & Senators, and other political leaders; those people and their children (you & I) are going to experience "some disillusionment."

To give you an idea of "TIME TRAVELLING": Libby, the wife of LTC George A. Custer, who died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, lived to see airliners and WWII.

Jose, wife of famed frontiersman & lawman, Wyatt Earp, lived to see airliners and WWII. Both of these "frontierswomen" lived into the modern automobile era. Wyatt Earp himself, drove an automobile and made a living selling real estate in Los Angeles, dying in 1929.

Change is constant; but it can also take it's toll.
