Disillusionment During the 1970’s We have all witnessed disillusionment at play in our daily lives. It could be finding out that some item is not as great as you thought it might be, or maybe it was a decision that turned sour after you had already gone through with it. Americans in the 1970’s witnessed disillusionment in their own homes. False news reports were forcing patriotic propaganda instead of the truth. Issues such as the Vietnam War, discontent within cities, and inequality between…

During the period from 1970 to the end of the 1980s, there was a major structural factor change in the industry and that is farms have become less numerous but larger and with increased concentration of profit. As Dutton and Cornish (1988) note, “between 1950 and 1981, the number of farm units decreased from 26,406 to 20,012 units... Yet land in agricultural production has actually increased by 17 percent over the same period” (p. 165). This same trend was evident looking at cash sales where,…

how women were depicted in the 1970’s to the present. I plan to compare and contrast the 1970’s to the present day by using articles that depict a woman’s image. I think the 1970’s was a changing point for women. In the 1970’s, the women’s movement gave women freedom, independence, and equality. I think women in the 1970’s were depicted as submissive, dependent, and judged by appearance. My first article explains the depiction of women in Iranian cinema from the 1970’s to the present. Iranian…

This was not something just in the United States, but it also occurred in other countries as well. One would be surprised to know that the laws for special education are…

Feminism and race in the united states in the 1970s Introduction Feminism in the 1960s and 1970s came up as a result of the social upheavals that existed in the US during these years. Black feminists by the 1970s felt that the women’s movement led by such feminist organizations as the National Organization for Women (NOW); was too dominated by white middle-class women. They argued that these organizations could not represent the needs of poor and black women effectively. They argued that the…

After the end of the war in 1970, the Vietnamese economy declined because of the destruction resulted from the war. Infrastructures were destroyed such roads, bridges, ports, electricity, water supply, schools, hospitals, etc. These essential things had to be repair primarily. The country lacked of human resource because many people died and disabilities by war. Furthermore, Vietnam is an agricultural country to do farming on the land, unfortunately, the land used to be a battle ground were…

Federal standards dictate how much pollution autos may emit, and automakers decide how to achieve the pollution limits. The emission reductions of the 1970's came about because of fundamental improvements in engine design, plus the addition of charcoal canisters to collect hydrocarbon vapors and exhaust gas recirculation valves to reduce nitrogen oxides. The advent of "first generation" catalytic converters in 1975 significantly reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. The use of…

Throughout the 1970s, as Iran realized tremendous profits from oil production, a gap developed and expanded between the wealthy and the poor. A recession, which began in 1975, increased tensions between the classes in Iran. Secular protests in the form of marches, organizations, and political poetry readings sprouted up and spread all across the country. Then, late in October of 1977, the Ayatollah Khomeini's 47-year-old son Mostafa died suddenly of a heart attack, and rumors did spread that he…

Lesbian Feminism and the Politics of Difference in the 1970’s started off describing Audre Lorde, a truly pivotal character in the black, lesbian, and feminist movements of her time. The self-described “black, lesbian, feminist, poet, warrior, mother” was born to Caribbean immigrant parents in Harlem in 1934. Through her upbringing, Lorde thrived in poetry, a strength that would follow her into adulthood. She used his to her advantage as she progressed through the working class throughout her…
