1970's youtube videos

1) What do you think is changing in America from Archie's point of view?
Well, the reason why Archie has that point of view is because he was in a different stage of culture when he was growing up, and he has a different way of seeing things, rather than we see them today. For an example, he doesn't have that much respect for his wife. He was in that time period where you tell your wife what to do, and the wife is usually the house mother who cleans and is always in the kitchen. The way that men treat women has changed in our culture a lot since Archie's time period. Also the fact that Archie asked Davis that since he was colored, what ever made him turn Jew? That is from Archie's point of view, and that has changed. Our society today is different, and people understand more about the Jews and African Americans.

2) In what ways are young people (his daughter and son-in-law in the clip) and minorities changing society for Archie?
They were trying to convince Archie that he is prejudice, because of the thing that he said to Davis.

3)What is changing in American Society?
The fact that those two African American people were in a taxi, and the taxi drove straight up to the building that they were getting dropped off to. Today, in our society, we still have taxi's, in better condition and a different style, but the taxi driver doesn't drive straight up to the building, you either have to walk or don't take one.
