Social Events In The 1970s

Answer 3

The release of the movie GREASE in 1977 was a major social event. There were other events that were social, but depending on how you're classifying, they may have crossed over into other realms, as well:

Vietnam War
Attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics
Nadia Comenichi getting a perfect 10 at the Olympics in Gymnastics
Iranian Hostage Crisis (cost Carter the election).
Disco music
The Godfather movies (parts 1 and 2)
Introduction of FM radio, cable TV and the microwave oven
End of party lines in most of the US

Answer 4

1 April 1970, Nixon signed a law banning cigarette advertising on television.

Edit- a major social trend in the 1970s was a nostalgic look back on the fifties. This can be clearly seen in music (country music became popular), TV and movies (films and shows set in the 50s, showing idealized portrayals).
