<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Zeinab Alghanem, an 8th grade student attending the Unis Middle School Journalism Class, states that,\u201dI really like hippy modernism, because of bright, vivid, neon colors.The paintings tell stories, but I wouldn\u2019t be able to survive in the 60\u2019s.\u201d There are many differences between today\u2019s culture, and cultures back then. \u201cUnlike today\u2019s culture, there culture was more open, and knew what was happening at the time.\u201d For example, the Hippies knew that the government was pitying the poor, with another version of the bridge card.<\/p>\nApril Kincaid, and 8th grade journalism teacher, and a 7th grade social studies teacher, says that,\u201dThe posters were actually very nice. Not only does it have bright colors, but the topics of the posters were very deep, and current.\u201d Bright colors were excessively used back then, and the issues were so controversial, it can grab any interested person\u2019s attention. \u201cI am okay with today\u2019s culture. Technology makes life easier, 60\u2019s was very turbulent, and there was so much going on that it was very hard to get in contact with people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily Staugaitis, a Cranbrook employee who tours and helps students, says,\u201dI like hearing what students have to say, what they are curious about, what connections they make, what they think is \u201cba The 60\u2019s culture consisted of bright, vivid colors. But think about it, would you like to live in the 60\u2019s? \u201cI think I would live in today\u2019s culture, because of the advances we have made. Despite the horrible things going on right now,(Syria, refugee crisis, political instability, police violence, women\u2019s rights, the US and abroad, inadequate funding for schools, e.t.c). I think we have more tools to connect with each other now than we did in the 60\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n To conclude, overall, Hippy Modernism had a culture with very crazy bright colors, and many controversial issues that are still problems today! In the 60\u2019s, many people were pitied by the government with food stamps. Overall, looks like students and teachers would like to stay in today\u2019s society!<\/p>\n ~Jaafar Chahrour, A Unis Middle School Journalist, and blog editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know, people in the 60\u2019s invented an inflatable chair, a family sweater, and a money poster? In the 1960\u2019s it was the time period of the Hippies! They had very creative clothes and art. I interviewed students in the Unis Middle School Journalism class, and this class has been to Cranbrook Art Museum. …<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 Amira Said, an 8th grade student attending Unis Middle School Journalism Class, quotes,\u201dI would rather live in today\u2019s culture, because it seems that back then there were a lot of problems and protests.\u201d For instance, there was a great extent of racism against blacks, and against the poor. Many problems back then, are still problems today. \u201cDefinitely, there was a lot of racism against African Americans, (Black lives matter).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a>d art\u201d or \u201cgood art\u201d, and how those things shift and change as people grow and change.\u201d To sum it up, Emily enjoys hearing different opinions and perspectives on art. Changing the subject, the problems of the 60\u2019s could still be problems today. Emily\u2019s opinion is the same as the rest.\u201dWe are still facing very serious issues of inequality and unjust treatment of minority groups. Some progress has been made, but there is a ton more to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
