1950-1971 A Clockwork Orange

The postwar era where the world had waken up from a somehow isolated front between countries, to a more hostile and aware place. By this I mean that during the years of 1950 to 1971 there was a thirst for future technology, some kind of a race. This brought a lot of differences and cultural crashes between the adult age and the new young era. Which grew up in a place were women started having sexual freedom in the 1960's because of the contraceptive oral pill. Also the launch of the computer revolution. Somehow everything changed so rapidly even if you could not accept it. The businesses did not need so much the working hands, but the automated machines that provided them with much faster resolutions and at a low cost. We can also infer that the lack of censorship in the new Talking Pictures was a boost of information(even if it was the wrong one). The example given to the youth of this era was of freedom at any cost.
