What I would like to learn about in the 70s

I would like to learn more about Jimmy Carter and find out why he is considered one of the worst presidents of all time, I would like to learn ore about the fall of Saigon and it's effects on American conservatives. Of the Iranian hostage crisis and the economy during the 1970s sounds very interesting too and would like to go more in depth with that.

Music, Television, movies of the 60s

Overall the 60s was a pretty cool generation. I believe the music was really good and interesting.mi believe that music was a huge part of this culitee and really defined who some people were. With Woodstock, the Beatles and the English invasion of music really played a huge part in shaping what the sixties are remembered for. The television was rather bland, the television shows often had a laugh track and I found to not really be that interesting. The twilight zone was the only show I found interesting, the endings were unpredictable and I enjoyed that. The movies were pretty interesting the effects were better than I would have thought. I believe that music was probably the biggest factor of shaping culture in the sixties. I personally enjoy music of the sixties and believe it was one of the best generations of music ever.

What I want to learn

What I want to learn is the assassinations, civil rights issues and television. I believe all of these things were crucial in the 60s because it defined what the 60s were.

Lets Define

I believe that pop culture is many different things, but mostly it is what is trending at a certain time point. There are different sides of pop culture some being music others being fashion. For example the picture below is an example of pop culture, with nick cage growing a mustache other men may find it cool and grow one as well. Or if a famous actress is wearing a certain brand, others will follow and buy that brand. I believe pop culture and advertisement go hand in hand because advertisement takes advantage of pop culture to push their product out on the public by endorsing celebrities and athletes to wear their product.
