Stephanie Coontz What We Really Miss About the 1950’s

After reading this article an am very grateful for not only the things I have but for the time in which I live. Coontz essay tells that more Americans believe that the 1950 were the best time to raise children. I would have to disagree with this. I do think that the 1950’s would have been a good time to raise children but it was a very sheltered time in my own opinion. 50’s children may have never known the amounts of information that children have access to now. If a child wants to learn about African elephants then a quick search on the internet and loads of facts, pictures, and other interest are then available. This would not be the case in the 50’s.
