I think family unity was better 50 years ago. WW2 came along and it has been down hill since. Families used to sit and have dinner together and discuss the issues of the day. Now they hook up on a cell phone in between breaks in their "busy lives". Many things are better, many thing have gotten worse!
Fiscal Conservative. Also you would not like my reasoning why life has slowly eroded for the worse. It happened the day they took the mother out of the home and placed her in the labor industry. Call it sexist, but deep down inside you know this to be true.

Fifty years ago life was so much simpler and better than now in a lot of ways we didn't have all of the rules and regulations we have today. People just worked hard and tried to make life better for their families and I feel they had a better chance at doing it back then. Anyone could walk into a factory and make good money with no education. Now college graduates cannot find a job to support themselves and there are so many laws half the time we don't realize we are breaking them. I wish we could take the best things from each time period and put them together it would be awesome. Independent

I think that it has been better for the rich. But for the middle class, it's been disastrous. The outsourcing of jobs, price of housing and cars taking a big hike, the decay of the cities and rise in crime, with the amount of national and personal indebtedness will mean big changes in the near future. We will be pulled into more distant wars, and more exposed to terrorism.

50 years ago is 1966.
Definitely better as major cities (LA, Detroit, Newark) are not in flames from riots.
HOWEVER Johnson is escalating the war in Vietnam (sound familiar?) and there is a crisis in leadership
Hmmm. St Louis won the World Series in 1967.

It relies upon on what race and gender you have been. Do you fairly think of it became greater desirable for women individuals who had to stay homestead with their youngsters, or blacks and individuals of shade returned interior the Jim Crow days of 1957? No, we are lots greater desirable off today yet that would not advise we don't have very very severe problems. We nonetheless have the nuclear risk outstanding over our heads. And the fee of environmental degredation is occurring so speedy that our planet won't look a similar while your babies develop up. that for the period of itself is amazingly very severe.

I think it's impossible to answer that in one word. Technology is better. Morality probably worse. Pollution and environment is worse. Education worse. Civil rights- better. I'm a Democrat.
