The document discusses 1950s American society and culture, including the rise of suburbs and conformity. It focuses on Levittown, the first large-scale planned suburb in the US. Levittown helped satisfy the demand for affordable housing following World War II. Over 17,000 houses were built there between 1947-1958 for returning GIs. The homes cost around $6,900 with $100 down. Suburbs like Levittown helped propagate cultural norms of the 1950s by encouraging conformity and traditional gender roles.
