No, we haven´t. Society has progressed a lot throughout the last 70 years and we´re MUCH better off today than we were decades ago. And the 50´s were just shitty, especially in regard to women-rights, workers-rights, medical insurance, overall quality of life, progress in all sorts of sciences. Politics has lost its decency in public nowadays, as it appears to us, but believe me, behind closed doors, all well-educated and seemingly friendly politicians in the 50´s were even more brutal and ruthless than today. In conclusion, were the 50´s better? Yes and No. Better than in the years before the 50´s, but certainly not better than today. That would just be self-deception. It just LOOKED fancier, but behind the curtain there was a lot of misery for the avarage people. The struggle for daily income was much more severe than it is the case today.

@@MagicCarpetRide8669 Said every era-daydreamer ever, without giving any kind of evidence or example for it. And for the people in future year 2060, I can promise you, people like you will raise their voices and tell the world wholeheartedly, that the golden years of the 2020´s were just the best and cannot brought back ever again, right? What you don´t seem to understand is, that something "better" is not only a vague feeling but has to be precisely determined and pointed out. What was better in detail? When comparing all your points to today, you´re going to realize very quickly, that life was a lot harder back in these days. Furthermore, from a psychological point of view, the "everything was better back in the days"-effect is nothing else but a deception of our own mind: It automatically erases all bad parts from our past to make our present life easier. That is the reason why failed relationships or friendships oftentimes seem to have been more positive in retrospection than it was the case in reality. Sorry, but as long as you´re not proving your points, it will just be a feeling over something, that has nothing to do with reality. Greetings from Germany

Hi, Vintage Treasures Videos, thank you for the memories! Born in 1950, I lived my "American Graffiti" years. I remember the sock hops, the dresses, the uniforms... In those days of the nuclear family, we grew up with values and traditions reinforced by family(ies), neighbors, community, Boy/Girl Scouts/4-H youth groups, Church(es), schools, ... all the way up to the Media outlets (TV, magazines, radio, Wolfman Jack, Dick Clark, Alan Freed, ...) which were reinforcing traditional American family values. Despite having our own "hormone storms" as teenagers, most of us did respect girls and young women. I studied in NYC in the late sixties - that is the way it was. Thank you for bringing me back to a time of innocence, optimism and freedom (before the war, that is). May Peace be with you, Ciao, L (Veteran).

And make no mistake, younger adults in the '50s had a lot of fun. I would have loved to have lived in those days. Thanks to the presenter for giving me a glimpse of it.

Wish it was still like this today. Beautiful and the people were stylish and more. Happier days. Sad to see what happened to our country since. They would be so shocked and upset with what happened to us too. You can see it with most of the people over 75 today who remember those days. They say a few things are better today but most of it today it not as nice as then. I grew up in the 70s 80s early 90s. I see changes too. I was hoping it would get better than the 80s and 90s but it got worse especially in our cities.

Здравствуйте, поверьте, не вам одним так кажется, я с 75г. Могу сказать , после 2010 , все стало меняться неу лучшую сторону, особенно люди их как будто подменили, лица стали другие, я много раз думала на эту тему, могу лишь сказать одно, что то не так.....

@@googleN-qn8wi I tried to understand what you are saying. The translation I am getting does not make sense to me. It is Russian? I suppose you agree with me. Living here since 1975 and since 2010 you noticed things began to change with different faces that are not for the better?

we are still living in the generation of the last veterans of ww2 and still got people who are over 100 years old living here in the U.S. as long as our elderly are treasured, well cared for, and treated well we still got timecapsles of the 50s right here with us until they all pass away, then we live on in their memories good and the bad

I love the pictures of this era.

Such a great video!! 😊 Times have changed so much....and definitely NOT for the better.... ppl dressed classy, ppl had much better mannerisms, ppl were more polite/kind, neighbors ALWAYS looked out for one another

This upload of American during the golden-50's made excellent viewing. While I live in another part of the world, I would give just about anything to have been a part of the 50's era in America. The gas stations, diners, shopping arcades, the churches - everything looked so clean, so lively and so inviting. My heart skipped a beat when you gave us a view of the book and paper stands that sold stuff in 1953, the year my top fave, Lisa Gaye signed with Universal International. How I would love to get my hands on those books and papers of that particular year. What also caught my eagle eye were shots of young boys [delinquents] smoking on the street and gambling on the side-walks. They couldn't have been more than 14 years of age. Livening up the eye were very shapely girls in short-shorts [reminded me of Debra Paget & Lisa Gaye on bicycles] and those in two-piece swimsuits. One of the diner shots featured a very young Sal Mineo, who must have been looking for a movie-break discovery. There was also a brief shot of a street-busker. All in all, a wonderful stroll down memory lane with one wish "Time should have stood still"

I love ❤️ 1950s

I usually spurn artificially "colorized" film and video, but I must say that you guys did a very good job with this video.

It would be hard to argue otherwise. A decade (if that) out of WW2, cars were much more reliable and safe at that point. Telephones advancing.

Вот та Америка которая влюбила в себя целый мир. Мода музыка кинематограф etc.

What a wonderful era. It must have been great having lived then, perhaps especially as a teenager. I get wistful seeing those photos or films although I was born several years later. Thank you for your channel which I found accidentally but subscribed.

White America was better. Otherwise, people wouldn't want to immigrate here, but instead would go to Asia, Africa, South America, etc... But they don't. They came to North America because white people have the most prosperous cultures until they get diluted by "multiculturalism".....everything goes to sh*t afterwards.

Good choice in music...

I am from the Netherlands and I love this beautiful America. Thanks for the very nice pictures.
