Bill Clinton Impeachment
I believe that Bill Clinton should have been impeached. Even thoughh no one can really prove what he did do with the money affairs, I believe that a man who cannot be trusted should not be running the United States. I also believe that the president should be a role model for all people of the United States. Since Bill Clinton was most likely having an affair with an intern, Monica Lewinski, it shows that Clinton lacks morals and doesn't take the promise of marriage seriously. A man who cannot be trusted and a man who breaks promises should not be running our country, and he should have been impeached.

Movies from the 60s-90s
Movies, as well as music, has definitely changed. In the 60s, movies like Planet of the Apes and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid were incredibly boring movies. They didn't have the technology that they had in the 90s. They were also westerns and so incredibly boring and dull. Movies now like Titanic and The Matrix are so much better. There are so many special effects that create a realistic atmosphere. The acting is better as well as the relatable situations. In each movie, there are battles with relationships and discovering who you truly are. We also watched Forrest Gump, which is one of the best movies of all time. Forrest Gump is a classic. I don't even know the words to describe how great this movie is. Tom Hanks's acting abilities are incredible. The entire story is realistic and hilarious, yet heartbreaking at some points. Overall, movies are so much better in the 90s, due to the updated technology and the more experienced actors.
Music of the 90s
Overall, I have enjoyed the music from the 90s. Although I wasn't alive for most of it, I remember most of the songs from the 90s because my older brothers use to constantly play them on the radio or off their cassette tapes. When I hear the songs of the 90s, I think of my childhood. I love the boy bands of the 90s because I am a stereotypical teenage girl. I love the rivalry between NSync and the Backstreet Boys. In addition, I love how women artists have broken out. One of my favorite songs of all time, Wannabe by the Spice Girls, came out during this time. A lot of the music during this time turned out to be uplifting and fun. Much of the music was about heartbreak. Tons of the music is about different relationships and anger. The different feelings presented through the music shows that the 90s are both a time of triumph and a time of fear. There is no one way to describe the 90s with one emotion. They were filled with happy times, sad times, angry times, as well as peaceful times. The music reflects different emotions experienced throughout the 90s.
The Evolution of Music 60s-90s
Music from the 60s to the 90s has changed significantly. In the 60s, music was beginning to become more rebellious. Punk began getting big, which was for teenage white boys. Now, rock has developed into all different branches and there is all different kinds of music that people listen to. For example, punk music in the 90s very similarity reflects Grunge music, in my opinion. Also in my opinion most forms of rock all sound the same to my ears. Also in the 60s, as punk music mostly spoke to teenage white boys, now all forms of rock and rap capture the attention of most of the male population. In addition, women artists have become much more popular to all people, especially in the hip hop and rap areas. I believe that the evolution of music proves that people today will do what they wish to do. They have developed their own opinions over subject manners. In addition, now, teenagers feel free to rebel against heir parents as much as they want. They feel that they have their own independence, so they choose to react independently, proven through the rebellious music.
Tv Shows from the 90s
We mostly focused on sitcoms during the 90s and what I've noticed is that most of the tv shows are just about average people. For example, we watched Friends, which is about a group of 6 friends and their experiences while living in New York. This show reflects average experiences presented through average people. This show also reflects the people's desire to live a normal life without all of the drama. For instance, throughout the 90s scandals broke loose, the USSR broke up, and several bombings occurred. People didn't want to live in the moment of dangers and uneasiness. Very similar to Friends, the sitcoms, The Simpsons and Seinfeld, deal with similar average situations. They each deal with everyday relate able problems that do not include too much drama. The Simpsons, however, seemed to differ from the others firstly because it's animated, but in addition, The Simpsons had more violence and inappropriate behavior. A last show we watched was The Fresh a Prince of Belair. This show was very interesting as it showed a teenage boy movie into his upperclass uncle's home. Again, the show dealt with everyday situations and was comical at points. The sitcoms during this time period seemed to avoid current events at the time, reflecting that people did not want to be involved with all of the drama that had gone on.
