Answer 1

You have a lot to learn, ma'm

EDIT: To the person below. How is this racist in any way!? She never said black people: you did. Even if it were only black people who couldn't afford it, so what!? They may have been poor then.

It's a known fact anyway that black people were never as wealthy or powerful (in general, excluding the likes of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King jr. etc) as white people until about the '80s (the date may be wrong).

So I would say your comment is ignorant.

Answer 3

This is an impossible question - like so many on this site, but certainly worth a try to answer. I am Canadian so some of my suggestions will clearly have a bias, but I am sure that American ideas will creep in some places:

10s: increased western expansion and a drive to tame the wilderness and protect some areas;

20s: the rise of popular music and culture through phonographs and radio - public singing and dancing became far more widespread;

30s: public worry about the economic state of the world - travel to find work - conserving, fixing and recycling anything of value;

40s: war effort, patriotism, the real beginning of seeing the world in different camps and blocs - I would suggest the beginning of the "us" and "them" mentality;

50: the rush to suburbia, rapid economic growth which demanded higher levels of education and skills and a proliferation of popular music, radio and movies with its core in Hollywood - probably the true beginning of American hegomony around the western world;

60s: the widespread questioning of authority (schools, church, but especially government) - no where was this more pronounced that in the United States - protest showed up in all forms (music, literature, art, etc)

70s: further widening of the "us and them" ideology caused mainly by Cold War politics and energy crisis - disco, punk and sensibilities become known and people tire of mainstream popular culture - in many parts of the world a hedonistic "I'll do what I want" attitude is present;

80s: post punk attitudes open popular culture up so that anyone who wants to create can do so (I think this the real time when Warhol's famous '15 minutes of fame' idea became close to a reality - information started to be spread at a hyper pace - expansion of cellphones, computers, cable TV, etc.

90s: a belief that people can get rich by doing nothing - a rapid rise of middle class investing in stock market, mutual funds - "let your money do the work for you" kind of concept - also a runaway, devil may care attitude among more and more of our celebrities (athletes, musicians, TV evangelicals) - a measureable rise in consumerism and selfishness;

2000s: FEAR - we have become afraid of everything - terrorists, illegal aliens, people with different colour skin, liberals, conservatives.  This has been perpetuated by American politics and adopted by many centrist and right leaning governments around the world - also, the dramatic rise in "doing it my way" (g*y marriages, same s*x parenting, etc.)

Whoa.  Good question and difficult to answer.
