Unit 1: Unit 1: Setting the Stage – Discussion

Discussion topic #1: Imagine you’re a housewife or a businessman in the early 1960s. What would a typical day be like for you? Describe your function in society. Are you happy or not in this role? Why? What are your options to change this, if any? Support your ideas from the readings.

Discussion topic # 2: Choose any event from the 1960 Timeline in the Resources link under Reading tab. Explain how you think that event influenced life today. Do not forget to reference the ideas in your response to the course materials or other resources that you consulted to answer this question.
