City colleges have expanded and are more common than before.
Medical Care is better than before. In the early 50s there were "Polio Epidemics" That disease is "eliminated"
Some medicines are so much cheaper than before....?? (what about anti-biotics?)

....Debbie, I got complaints about your post.....Quote..."Racism and homophobia are on the upswing"

....Compared to the 60s and 70s...Racism is far less than before...
.....Compared to the more recent past, homosexuals are far more accepted than in the 70s and 80s.
That is not kept a secret as much as before, and part of the culture, as opposed to .. an oddity.

........Over all we are a more ..."socialistic society" than most people could have imagined in the 50s.
