Answer this essential question by developing a discussion between two sets of people describing the positives and negatives of life in the 50s. Use one color to identify the positive aspects and another color to identify negative aspects. You should include at least six (6) major aspects explained on each side of the discussion. Each aspect should be described with detail. Make sure you spice up your discussion with some snappy 50s lingo. You'll be in fat city and have it made in the shade if you try your best, dig?


 * -Hey Clide, What’s buzzing cuzzin? Heard anything about the reds? **
 * - Heard that Senator from Wisconsin has an envelope full of 200 names of communists in the government, but all I heard about the ones overseas is that they’re collecting weapons, and man, are they frosted. **
 * - Wow, I hope they take care of that grody mess...but what about those bomb threats? **
 * -That stuff’s insane man, I had to make a bomb shelter back at my pad in case the Soviets total the area. **

 * - Whatever I gotta go. You go pile up Z’s, go catch up on the space race if you’re that interested. **
