More About Sports and Changes From the 1940s to Today
Look through this selection to take a deeper look into the changes from the 1940s to today, and what exactly happened. You will also look at how some examples are the same, and some that are different.
In what ways are the 2 time periods similar? In what ways are they different? Do there seem to be reasons from these similarities and differences?
These examples from the time periods are similar, because most of the sports they played back in the 1940s are the same sports we play today. Some other similarities are that women still play sports, as well do men. Some other similarities are there are still some of the same rules and regulations as they had in 1940. Some differences of that culture of sports to today is that some leagues were created, while others were "erased". Another difference was that some girls played a sport, then that sport changed into another, or got more simpler for other kids. Some of these changes, like I mentioned earlier were effected by World War II and America needing soldiers, but not everything was effected by the Great War, somethings were changed because of entertainment purposes--like one thing got too boring. To think, honestly, how much in our world today even stays the same?
What are any differences in forms of your examples from each time period?
Some of the differences are the fashion of the sport--for men and women, but women mainly. For instance, women no longer had to wear skirts and could dress as men do playing these sports. Men's fashion changed in football and soccer mainly--football more padding and different uniforms and soccer went from long sleeves and shots as short as the mid-thigh to longer shorts and long or short sleeved uniforms. Some other differences are the ways that women worked there way into being treated as equal as men in being able to play sports.
How do your comparisons of these examples from both time periods relate to the ideas of change?
The ideas of change, or the five types of change, are "Change is linked to time," "change is everywhere", "Change may be positive or negative", "Change may be organized or random", and "Change can happen naturally or be caused by humans." All of these generalizations fit under this category of sports in culture.
Change is linked to time
This idea of change relates because time causes things to change...as the world goes on, new things are invented, people's interests change, which is why change is linked to time can relate to the sports culture of 1940s and on, or really, as long as the world exists.
Change is everywhere
This idea of change relates to this culture because everything is always changing--people, objects, inventions, etc--and everything includes sports, and everything with it.
Change may be positive or negative
This idea of change relates to this culture because most of these changes that changed sports, or will change sports, is positive because it usually changes to how the people like the sport, or people's interest in entertainment.
Change may be perceived as orderly or random
This idea of change relates to this part of the culture in America because most of these changes were organized by someone...I don't think rules, regulations, ideas, or pretty much anything in sports can't really be changed randomly.
Change can happen Naturally or be caused by people
Most of these changes were caused by people. For instance, World War II was caused by people, new equipment, jerseys, uniforms, and rules were changed by someone.

In What Ways do Your Examples of Popular Culture in Both Time Periods Reflect National and/or World Events?
Most of the changes from the 1940s reflect the war going on in the east. World War II effected how people lived, what they could do, and lots of other things. Most of the changes today in this culture reflect only national events, since there aren't any huge world events going on that effect the way everyday citizens live.
