Television in the 1950's was an extension of middle class values, often featuring families that had similar mannerisms and lived in suburban neighborhoods that resembled those of the people watching the programs. Rock n Roll expressed dismay at these values and became a medium for expressing social problems and tensions that teenagers faced but could not talk about.

It got white teenagers listening to black music and put into their heads the problems that black people had. They would idolize black singers and go to concerts with black people.

Rock n roll had lyrics and singers that danced in a way that promoted having sex. Teenage pregnancy had risen a lot during this time

Katya's feelings about the film Rocky 1v are completely valid. The boxer that was supposed to represent the soviet union was cold and scary looking, and it's unfair to generalize an entire country of people like that. Not all Russians had such scathing opinions of Americans, but this movie could lead some people to feel that way. The boxer killing the American fighter also exacerbated this by making them not only look scary, but evil. People can disagree with each other's views, but very few people are driven to kill people they dont know because of it. To make the film less prejudiced and have less of a divisive tone...they could've had the boxer not kill Apollo Creed. He could beat Apollo in the ring, but not kill him. Maybe the soviet boxer could appear vicious at first so that the movie still has the element of suspense, but they could also have Americans taunting the boxer outside of the fighting ring and Rocky, being the nice guy he is, could show good sportsmanship by saying something like "don't listen to them alright". When Rocky says "if I can change, we all can change" there could be a scene of Rocky looking back at the Russian boxer, the other boxer could respond with a subtle nod of approval.

The origins of the counterculture began in the 1950s with "the beats". Jack Kerouac's novel "on the road" became a bestseller and indentified with the feelings of discontent that many youngsters had about our materialistic society. These youngsters would hold meetings in the coffee shops in new york, where they could read aloud rebellious slam poetry. They also played chess and listened to folk music. Bob Dylan was one of the first to sing the songs he wrote, and many loved his lyricism that spoke to the truth of what people were feeling at the time. The hippie movement, however, did not become prominent until the 1960s. When Ken Kensy grew a following from his popular novel "one flew from the cuckoo's nest", they payed attention when he took part in a military LSD experiment. He wanted to spread the word about the ecstasy of LSD, and he would invite people to take LSD in gatherings. San Francisco and Haught Ashbury became major spots in California for artists of all kind and young people to gather and create art and feel free using the escapist quality of the LSD hallucinations. The hippies valued peace and freedom above all, and for the most part to take part in politics.This, among many other reasons, were why adults came to dislike the hippie movement. They thought the deviation from the normal structure of society was selfish and hedonistic, and the music and fashion was strange to them because a lot of the art that was being made was difficult to understand if you weren't doing LSD. Adults were worried about this new epidemic of young people who were at risk of putting themselves and others in harms way because they were doing drugs. This fear hit its peak when word broke out of a gathering 100,000-200,000 young people who were going to flock out to Haught Ashbury over the summer to fully indulge in this way of life. Adults were advising others against it and officials were threatening to call in the national guard. Nonetheless, the Summer of Love proceeded and the youth culture triumphed. Loads of bands and musicians played, and free stores were set up because of counterculture's desire to avoid materialism and because the amount of people exceeded the town's capacity. Utopian as the hippies wanted it to be, crime, homelessness, and chaos broke out and the young people left to return to their normal life. A funeral called "the death of a hippie" was held a year later, and was one of the moments that signified the end of this era.

1. The 1990s was famous for having a loud-quiet dyanamic
2. The part I found most surprising was when he mentioned that he had to lie to the band about the takes being faulty because he knew it would sound better with more layers. I didn't realize just how many layers it took to kind of create this grunge sound
3.Production would become more complex on albums in the future.
