Oral History Project

For the oral history project, i thought it would be a very interesting project to do and has been one that i have never done before. When i first looked at the newspaper i selected from the 60's, i was wondering what people would think about us by looking at our newspapers. With all of the crime we have today...you wonder if it is going to be the same, worse, or if someone is going to come up with a solutions to the worlds problems in 50 or 60 years?

As for looking into the past with the newspaper, the big thing that i focused on was that there were no pictures of just women. If there were a picture with a woman she was either with a man or it was just an ad for bra's or ironing boards. It is amazing how women have become more respected and even very powerful, especially in the business and political aspect.

I had aolt of fun doing this project and i thought it was a great idea not only for research, but for understanding the way people lived before us.
