Were things better in the 50s

I know I am probably going to get severely attacked for this. Aside from the human rights violation Black people should have never been treated the way they were .

Do you think it was better when families were a priority and mothers were at home ? When kids could play safely outside until the street lights came on? When they could play Cowboys and Indians and ride their bikes, practically anywhere.? When people actually stood for the national anthem with their hand over their heart ? Law-enforcement was respected.? And going to church on Sunday was a priority?

When Killary Klintoon declared it takes a village, that's when the start of the destruction of the "nuclear family" happened, when family values started getting attacked.
@NativePortlander1970 It started a lot earlier with Reagan's systematic destruction of the middle class in the 1980s. A book by one person didn't have the effect you think it did.
@LeopoldBloom How about we compare primetime tv from 1985 to the 21st century. You assume you're smart, try and figure it out, entertainment has always been the pulse of modern culture.

@NativePortlander1970 It doesn't really make sense to compare "prime time TV" in the past to today, when most people are watching streamed entertainment.

So what's your point? Does popular entertainment shape culture, or merely reflect it?
