1971- Poe vs Wade was a political movement where women wanted the right to have an abortion. Their rights were protected by the 14th Amendment and they were granted to right to have an abortion on January 22, 1973. This changes my view because i feel that abortion shouldn’t happen but it’s the females body and nobody should tell them what they can do with their body. This controversy is still going on today. This picture challenges the social norm because women just have the child and then have a say now they are challenging the fact that they have to have the child.

1973- Mobile phone was invented. This was invented solely for the fact that people needed to communicate on the go. In addition, Martin Cooper of Motorola felt that people were struggling with communication and this invention was for Americans to not have to be anywhere without a form of communication. This does go against or with a social norm this is the start of a norm. Simply because of the on-the-go communication

This is a display of an electric chair that was used for executions  in Connecticut prior to 1960. During the 1970’s citizens found the death penalty conflicted with religion and disrupted the peace. This photograph holds a lot of emotion behind it people have lost their lives due to the death penalty and the electric chair is one of the most gruesome forms of punishment. This challenges social norms and goes against what a lot of the hippies were promoting which was love and peace. The photograph does hold some shock value considering that this is a display in a museum and was actually used to kill people.

The Equal Rights Amendment was very Controversial in the 1970’s. The amendment stated that there should be no discrimination against anyone’s sex or gender. Some people felt as though this helped decrease the unfairness in the workforce against women. So this amendment would be very beneficial. On the other hand people felt as though there needed to be separation of genders like the Boy Scouts, public restrooms, etc.This Law was never passed.
