This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed. • Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be happy and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

  5. Peace, Prosperity, and Progress? • Analyze the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mGTLrI8rxQ&feature=related • This song was written in 1962. What does this say about how some people viewed the lifestyle of the 1950s-1960s • What is conformity? How is conformity perceived as positive and how can it be perceived as negative?

  6. Critics of Cold War Culture Levittown, PA Many Americans critical of Suburbia Saw it as a wasteland of conformity and materialism “packaged villages that have become the dormitory of a new generation of organization men. They are not workers in the usual sense of the word. These people do not only work for the organization. They belong to it as well.”– The Organization Man, by William Whyte

Rebelling Against Conformity • Most rebellion takes place in the arts • Abstract Expressionism: art emphasizes emotion, objects unrecognizable • Beat Movement: poets and writers promote non-conformity • Reject all forms of convention (jobs, hygiene, religion) • “stream of consciousness” writing often seen as obscene or offensive

  8. The Howl by Allen Ginsberg • I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, • angelheadedhipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, • who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz, • who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated, • who passed through universities with radiant eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy among the scholars of war, • who were expelled from the academies for crazy & publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull • who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burning their money in wastebaskets and listening to the Terror through the wall • who got busted in their pubic beards returning through Laredo with a belt of marijuana for New York, • who ate fire in paint hotels or drank turpentine in Paradise Alley, death, or purgatoried their torsos night after night • with dreams, with drugs, with waking nightmares, alcohol and cock and endless balls, • incomparable blind streets of shuddering cloud and lightning in the mind leaping towards poles of Canada & Paterson, illuminating all the motionless world of Time between
