Abstract

Every generation looks back to what it thought were less turbulent and troubled times. The 1980s look to many to have been a quiet, stable time marked certainly by a little, but not a lot of, change, division, and strife. During that period people even looked back to the 1960s, remembering only hippies and flower power and not Vietnam: the marches and the sitins. Even people in the peaceful 1950s looked back — while their world was threatened by the Korean war, the Suez Crisis, and decolonialization — to what they remembered as a golden, peaceful period of stability.
