1950s. Her class is about an hour and ten minutes. Nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan i like ike. This idea that this spin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956 conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. It shows the 1950s as an era of prosperity where america was a world leader and American People were happy in their suburban homes. I like ike is simple.

These are all different political pressures for enforcing certain ideals and resisting those that we will look at next week. But i like ike requests as a political construct shifted saengs attention away from those divisi
