i always love vintage videos.

obviously it's just a few experiences and opinions, but its just so refreshing looking into the window of the past and comparing life then and now.

I added some clarity that wasn't in the original video.

If you look at their faces, you can see they are young. It's just that the garments were way more serious looking back then.

And have 1000x more common sense than todays marshmallow kids.
I didn’t watch the whole video but just shows you how we as a society really have gone backwards.

Yeah.

And the so-called diversity was there, no animosity between any of them, people were intelligent, articulate, and could live in harmony just fine.

Not sure I would say things are worse now, all I see are 4 women having a tea party with a Korean guy... Have tea parties changed that much since the 50s?

Why do teenagers in that era still look like 40 year olds?

Cigarettes, hygiene, and formal clothing. There was a time when youngsters combed their undyed hair and didn't wear sweatpants everywhere.

This was a better and more authentic world than ours. But it created many of pur present day problems. I recall reading that Sayyid Qutb, one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, and one of the fathers of modern violent Islam took his first turn toward fundamentalism while he was a exchange student in the US during the 50’s. He was turned away from a movie theatre because he was black. You reap what you sow.
