Deep dives

The Discontent of the 70s

Living in the 1970s is portrayed as a time of indifference where individuals were less concerned about their responsibilities and societal issues. People felt free to indulge in their desires, whether it meant smoking inside or consuming alcohol casually without regard for the consequences. This era is marked by a lack of interconnectedness and responsibility towards the community, contrasting with the current generation's heightened awareness and engagement with global issues. However, this also created a cultural stratification where wealth disparity was clearly delineated, defining social interactions and what success looked like during that time.
