How might some of the current social events of today reflect
those of the 1970's? What can history teach us about our current

History tends to repeat itself right? There are always
commonalities from decade to decade, but they may take
different shape or form. For example, popular culture fashion in
the 1970s consisted mostly of bell bottom jeans, bright color
patches, hip huggers, platform shoes, clogs, and gypsy t-shirts
were all in the norm of fashion and these people were known as
Hippies. There is a new fashion bug in today’s popular culture
known ironically as the Hipster. Hipsters’ style of clothing
consist typically of thick framed glasses, earth tone clothing,
fedoras or other hats, suspenders, dress shoes, scarfs, etc.
