Directions: Watch segments 1 through 7 of “Super Power: America- the Story of Us,” read Chapter 24 in Give Me Liberty!, and read the following documents from the Voices of Fredom reader 162 (pg. 244: Nixon “What Freedom Means to Us,”; pg. 249, Doc. 163, Kerr “Industrialism and Industrial Man,” and pg. 259, Doc. 166, Mills “Cheerful Robots.”)

In your original post, write a response to the following question:

The 1950s is typically dubbed a decade of conformity where a new “American standard of living” became dominated by consumerism, suburban living, and emphasis on democratic American values to oppose communism. By the end of the decade, do you think conformity still dominated American society? Why or why not? (Be sure to consider the new consumer culture, suburban living, and anti-communist crusade. Also consider social movements like the Beats and the beginning of the Civil Rights movement.)
