Looking around at the world today, I can't help thinking about how times have changed. The fifties were nothing like today. Homes were much more modest and hardly anyone had more than one car.

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Importance of appearance in society: 2 of 17
Never underestimate the importance of appearance in society. It is a fact that people judge you by your appearance. The better you're dressed, the more respect you get from others. I have experienced it myself. The elementary school I attended was in a good neighborhood and my family was poor. I never had new cloths and alwa... More..

Many of the happiest moments in life are very brief and often soon forgotten.
