Question: Did anyone grow up in the 70s!? or knows a lot about it!?
Not grow up in the 70s but were old enough during the 70s to be aware of everything that happened then
If so, can you answer these simple pre research survey questions for my assignment!?

Name:

What were the social (clothes) , political (war and conscription) and cultural (music and art) developments and events!?

What were the impacts of international events and relationships on Australia's history!?(vietnam war)

What were the British or American influence on Popular Culture!?

How did the 70s (events of the 70s) shape Australia today!?

What were some anti-war songs and artist of the time!?

Who were some iconic people of the 70s that had a big influence on Society and the population (can be of any nationality, doesn't have to be australian)

thank you!
i know it's tedious but i was told to interview someone before researching about the 70s!. the actual assignment is to write a panel discussion, discussing the 70s -vietnam, music, culture, politics, society!.!.etc etc!.
(kind of like the The Panel australian show that was around aout 10 years ago)
One of my guess has to be the interviewee and the other people have to know a lot about the 70s!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To Those of You Born
1930 - 1979

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE

1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!< FONT face= Georgia color=black size=2>

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant!.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes!.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints!.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads!.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags!.

Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat!.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle!.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this!.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon!. We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar!. And, we weren't overweight!.
WHY!?
Because we were always outside, playing!.!.!.that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on!.

No one was able to reach us all day!. And, we were O!.K!.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes!. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem

we did not have Play stations, Nintendo's and X-boxes!. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms!. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents!.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever!.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes!.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team!. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment!. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of!. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers problem solvers and inventors ever!.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas!.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all!.
If YOU are one of them!? CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good!.

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were!.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it!?

For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us!.!.!.go ahead and delete this!.
For the rest of us!.!.!.pass this on!.

Everybody loves Raymon!. Great answer!. I remember all of that, and did most all of that and am still here!. My health didn't bother me until someone told me I was unhealthy!.

Now I have to think and worry about everything all day!.I graduated high school in 1971 so that covers most a lot of the time frame!. I preferred the late 50's early to mid 60's!. Now I just want to make it to my mid 60's!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
