Title: suburbia - 1950's
Headings: 

Content: Neighbors loved to compete with each other on housekeeping. If someone had a nice lawn then others had to have a nice lawn as well. There was even a book written about suburban life called The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit written by Sloan Wilson that showed the negative side about living in the suburbs. In addition to this sense of feeling like everyone has to belong, there was also a sense of conformity. A feeling of sameness and that everyone should be alike and fit in, rather than be different and upset things. This also was true in the workplace as well as in the home. Suburbs have really become a useful invention for many people. Suburban outgrowth also produced more cars buying which in turn led to more roads having to be built. The more cars there were on the road, the more traffic there was. Malls and fast food restaurants began to be built for people on the go.
