What do the people in the 1970s listen to?
Do you mean forms of recorded music? Primarily FM radio, LP records and cassettes. 45 rpm singles were still around, but declining in popularity. 8-track tape players disappeared rapidly as cassettes took over.
Recording technology advanced enormously between 1968 and 1973, as multi-track studios and signal processing became more sophisticated. This not only raised the production quality of studio recordings, it also inspired a whole generation of artists to use the studio in new ways.
Do you mean styles of music? Classical, rock, soul/R&B/funk, jazz, disco. Rock was still guitar-oriented, for the most part. Progressive rock reached its peak. Punk did not appear until late in the decade and New Wave appeared in the '80s. R&B and soul was in a "golden age" with a wide variety of artists enjoying crossover success. In jazz, the bebop era had drawn to a close and fusion was the most successful style. Disco borrowed heavily from soul/R&B/funk--it still had string arrangements and relatively slow dance tempos (that would all change with Hi-NRG in the early '80s, which would lead to house...).

Why is there a South Vietnam and a North Vietnam?
The Republic of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Việt Nam Cộng Hòa, French: République du Viêt Nam), commonly referred to asSouth Vietnam, was a state which governed southern Vietnam until 1975. It received international recognition, primarily from democratic and anti-communist nations, as the Republic of Vietnam (1955-75). Its capital was Saigon. The terms South Vietnam and North Vietnam became common usage in 1954 at the time of the Geneva Conference, which partitioned Vietnam into Viet-Minh and French zones at the 17th parallel. The United States was an ally of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.[2][3][4]
South Vietnam's origins can be traced to the French colony of Cochinchina, which consisted of the southern third of Vietnam and was a subdivision of French Indochina. After World War II, the Vietminh, led by Ho Chi Minh, proclaimed the establishment of a Communist nation in Hanoi. In 1949, non-communist Vietnamese politicians formed a rival government in Saigon led by former emperor Bao Dai. Bao Dai was deposed by Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem in 1955, who proclaimed himself president after a referendum. After Diem was deposed in a military coup in 1963, there was a series of short-lived military governments. General Nguyen Van Thieu led the country from 1967 until 1975. The Vietnam War began in 1959 with an uprising by Viet Congforces supplied by North Vietnam. Fighting climaxed during the Tet Offensive of 1968, when there were over 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers and 500,000 U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam. Despite a peace treaty concluded in January 1973, fighting continued until the North Vietnamese army overran Saigon on 30 April 1975.

Was there an oil shortage in America in the 1970s?
Most definitely. The crisis occurred when, in response to US support of Israel in the Yom Kippur war, Arab oil producers cut back supply of oil to the US, and increased oil prices fourfold overnight. In October 1973, the oil crisis actually sparked a number of legislation changes in the US. Practical legislation to help improve fuel economy was enacted: this included imposing a highway speed limit of 55mph, and allowing motorists to turn right on a red light to minimise unnecessary idling. In November 1973, Nixon also called for a ban on gasoline sales on Sundays, a ban which lasted until the crisis was resolved in March 1974.
