WOW ... if only they could have seen 50 years ahead to what we have now as a society they would have a heart attack ... these youngsters are like angels compared to now ... but having said that its easy to see that as each generation moves on to the next generation how its slipped away to what now is.
How lovely, natural boys & girls with limited makeup & no plastic surgery in sight, the girls very ladylike & the chaps coy & well- spoken..lovely times back then
Excellent programme. Two things seem apparent to me: First, these teenagers from 1960 account for themselves so well in the way in which they speak, making salient points and using considered structured sentences. Their speech wasn't studded with 'you know' and 'I was like...' and 'so I said to her...' and general overuse of meaningless link words to cover up vacuousness communication. Second, parental attitudes haven't changed. I am 15 years further down the line and my parents were saying much the same in the 1970s, thinking that my values reflected the decay in society and that their generation and their lives as young people had been so much better (their generation had Hitler, Stalin and a world war which killed 60 million people. Literacy, health, life expectancy, social mobility were all incomparably worse). In any event, this is a TV programme well worth watching.
17 24. She is lovely 😊 and had two kids ,the older people did not know what was to come the Devil 👿it sounds like the adults don’t like to see kids having a good time because they had a poo life
I'd like to have seen the son of the woman at 37:30 and heard his side of the story. I wouldn't be surprised if it was very different from what the woman is saying here.
I was born in 1963 so the 70s was my teenage era and I had as much freedom as I wanted or needed, within limits of course, my parents believed in treating me and my older sister with trust and respect and it was a two way street, we respected their boundaries and paid the price for breaking them, I was taught to work hard and play hard, respect others and treat everyone the way I would want to be treated myself, I left school and joined the military, a family tradition that is still ongoing, joining up was the best thing I ever did, and the values my parents and grandparents instilled in me stood me in great stead, I never got into any trouble (well never got caught anyway) and brought my children up the same way as I was and they never have got into any trouble either, they got the same freedoms and boundaries as I did, I suppose the point I am trying to make is that if parents bring their children up with the same morals and values as I was then all teenagers, no matter when they are of that age, then society would be a far better place, teenagers today don’t (in general) get taught real morals and standards, parents are to busy working to earn the money needed to buy their children the “trappings” of modern society.
@@mikethespike7579 That is twisting my comment out of context, as I said if me or my sister broke the rules there were consequences, punishments that fitted the crime if you like, and as I also said I never got caught making a mistake, not that I didn’t, but those mistakes taught me valuable lessons that I have tried to instil in my life and my children/grandchildren, just because I seem boring to you, from one comment, you would be surprised to know that I was a party animal and enjoyed getting a bit drunk during my social and service life. The old saying of “never judge a book by its cover” is very apt.
@@allandavis8201 Nothing twisted about it. I only remarked on how full of yourself you sound in your comment. Maybe you're not as self-centred as your comment suggests. But people who talk about themselves like you do, how perfect they are, tend to leave a bad taste in other people's mouths.
@@mikethespike7579 Obviously you feel like I am not allowed to have pride in my journey through life and that trying to impart a tiny piece of that knowledge onto others is being self-centred, and “full of myself” but that was not my intention, if I have offended you then I can only apologise for that, it certainly wasn’t my intention, I am not perfect by any stretch of the word, perhaps in future I will refrain from commenting about something that I see as important to me and possibly others, if I can make just one person more aware of what I am trying to do or say, perhaps give them a different perspective then that would be a step in the right direction. Once again I can only apologise for offending you, or others, it certainly is never my intention.
@@allandavis8201You are even now missing the point. I'll try again. You might be proud of your life journey and good for you. But posting a long detailed comment about it comes over like the tiresome pub bore that people avoid making eye contact with. At least I've told you that, not like most others who leave you to wonder why people avoid talking to you.
What really did change is what could be called the interface of the times but not the human nature. Indeed in the past things were somewhat more calm, wholesome, even innocent but that only in the way people appeared in society, that was what society accepted. Of course it does say something about mentality too, something indeed changed, but not to the extent some people like to think. It seems really immature to believe that people are somehow more marred today than they were in the past.
