SlamdogX: I still stand by my comments. These films do not teach government propaganda. They're just as good today as they were back then. In fact, there would have been no Columbine if the kids today had seen this.
(By the way, I was a child in the 60's myself. I lived through the 60's.)
The kids today should see these films. They might learn something from them. Regardless of whether this was back in the 1950's or even today; these films teach valuable lessons.
Back in those days, even when I went to school during the 60's and 70's, the teachers maintained control of the classroom. If you got in trouble in school, the teacher would tell your parents, and boy they would give it to you when you got home.
Nowadays, the kids are simply out of control. They're bringing guns and knives to school and they have to go through metal detectors. Instead of taking responsibility, the parents today are either running to a lawyer or to the ACLU.
Our teachers would run these films in class ,along with the great, Duck and Cover films. I do remember the teacher saying , these are alittle corny , but watch it anyway. I probably saw these around 1958 - 1960's . It was kinda like watching Leave it to Beaver in school, no one acted like the people in the show.
Judging from these videos... seems like in this time period... society was all about rules, control; and conformity... no wonder people rebelled in the 60's
@LOAblue and why society is such a mess today. Everybody is suing everybody. Then they want other people to follow the rules. They want the judge to rule in their favor.
I'm pretty sure my comment will get lots of thumbs downs, but I think it's true.
I agree to a point about everyone suing everyone else, some just don't take responsibility for themselves; and want to sue someone else for any stupid little reason. I just think if too many rules and restrictions are placed on people, that they are going to rebel; and the results will be worse than they would have been otherwise. If I was a kid in this era, and had to be subjected to these kinds of videos constantly; I'd have ended up going nuts!
@LOAblue I agree with you. Too many rules and restrictions can be very bad. Not enough can be even worse. Finding the correct balance is the key. When you have large groups of people occupying the same space, the right kinds of rules can help things go smoothly.
Seems today people are getting rid of lots of good common sense rules and replacing them with really petty stupid rules.
@LOAblue And the 1960s were a miserable time. many young people ran away from their parents and family and ended up barefoot on the streets of san Francisco. They started taking toxic drugs and engaged in indiscriminate sex with strangers. They got sick in many ways. The 60s left America with an unculture based on "being hip" and listening only to loud noisy, violent "Rock n Roll". We still suffer today as result of this time of moral depression and cultural decay.
@Avalon400 Not saying the 60's was perfect, but I'd much prefer that decade over the 50's. At least in the 60's people were challenging old ways of doing things, and that time period did also give us a lot of social advancement.
Rules that make us servants of a faceless regime!

It would be good if the government followed the same rules they force us to follow.

Rules are so important, we often write them in teeny tiny print so nobody can read them.
