Here are lots of things that happened.  I don't think they are called current events when they happened thirty years ago though!

This smells like a research paper you should be doing your own research for.  I'll just say the foreign policy of the 1950's was totally dominated by worldwide struggle with the USSR for allies and hegemony.  Everything else was secondary.  On top of the perpetual war footing and a major shooting war in Korea there was the threat of nuclear holocaust.  And the American imagination has latched onto the idea that this decade was innocent and carefree, a Golden Age that makes our own times dark and frightening in comparison.  This grotesque glorification of the past plays right into the hands of the current regime, which manipulates fear to stay in power and strip away our constitutional rights.

It's highly unlikely that you'll get the information you've asked for because opinion polling, statistical analysis and predictive modelling techniques weren't around then.  I'd suggest using the results of the elections after the war as a guide as well as empirical evidence from the time (newsreels, editorials etc.)\n\nOf course Messers Hitler, Stalin and Moussolini didn't really have to bother with 'approval' as they were totalitarian dictators.

I think that it was almost impossible to miss, if you are at all aware of anything that is going on in the world! I can't imagine too many people missing it, unless they are very young. I think that even most middle school kids will understand what they were trying to say!

I was in broadcasting (radio) for 15 yrs and studied broadcast journalism in college. I have done TV commercials and have known people who work in TV news.\n\nMedia philosopher Marshall McLuhan said of television:"The medium IS the message." In otherwords, when people first saw an image broadcast through miles and miles of space that materialized on a screen and came alive, they knew that the fact that man could DO that was a statement in itself. TV became bigger than life, and so did the people who appeared on it. Entertainers achieved fame faster than ever before. In ONE network broadcast millions of people could see a movie, drama, comedy, or musical performance simultaneously. When Ed Sullivan shouted "Ladies and Gentlemen-the BEATLES!" on his variety show one Sunday night in 1964 a musical revolution was born.  And two years earlier, when newsman Walter Cronkite  looked into the camera and said:"President Kennedy died at 1PM Central Standard Time", laid down his glasses, and wiped tears from his eyes, a nation was overcome with grief. And Cronkite became, according to poll after poll, the most trusted voice in America. The paradox here is that television's power as the biggest of media has permeated into such small places  as the family unit that is also extremely personal.  I still remember cringing as a kid when I watched "The FBI" with my grandfather and at the end he would always say:"Yep, Agent Erskine always gets his man!" as if he KNEW him. Or when my Mom at 83 years old still asks me if I watched "Katie" today. The fact that Couric can be referred to by her first name says something about the intimacy of television. Now radio probably invented that intimacy. But only TV can deliver it on as grand a scale. By duplication of resources, television has allowed people thousands of miles away to become part of more of our lives than radio delivers on a local basis. Networks have all but wiped out local entertainment media and replaced duties of people who worked at the local level.  That is not the case for local television news. I live in the 20th biggest television market in the country and we have fiercely competitive local tv newscasts. And our local news anchors are also household icons who average $250-300,000 a year. There is a danger, I think, when we establish fake relationships with people who don't know us. For those of us who are active members of society, it's one thing. But for people on the fringe who are isolated for whatever reason, dependence on media celebrities of any kind is unhealthy.  We as a society are WAY too interested in what these people are doing in their day-to-day lives. TV has become a surrogate gossip buddy for the petty, a surrogate friend for the lonely, and a surrogate teacher/babysitter for our children.  It is run by people who do not represent the values of many of our families and who use the lowest common denominators of sex and violence to attract, normalize, and desensitize audiences. TV execs say that they are only giving Americans what they want but if "the medium really is the message" then TV is TELLING us what we want. In otherwords, if it is on TV it is cool, correct, appropriate and normal. As an adult I can make my own choices. Children are another matter. Even harmless TV has been shown in experiments to stunt  creativity and imagination in children. Kids without TV are much more likely to find imaginitive and healthy ways to entertain themselves.Unfortunately TV's downside is that it has revolutionized communication by lessening it between family members and communicates unrealistic expectations to almost everyone. \n\nHowever, our need to communicate BACK is overcoming our worship of TV "heroes". Computers and the internet have brought personal communication back into the media. People today want "interactive" media that listens to THEM. They don't want to j

In my country (United States), television rules as the premier medium for disseminating news. News Channels like CNN, MSNBC, Fox news have created a nonstop 24 hour news cycle.\n\nTaking an Asian country like India, TV channels are emulating the American model and are creating 24 hour news cycles.  Their reach is not as much as the American channels but they are getting there.\n\ncc

Check out foxnews.com. They did an extensive investigative report on post war Iraq a while back.  Based upon what they found the country is thriving.\n\nAs for the media they look for stories that have two factors.  First the story must have an excitement factor in order to get an audience.  Second it must fall within limits of what is acceptable to the liberals who own the media outlets.  Except for FOX and some local independent papers and news stations most media follows these two unwritten but mutually understood rules.

Well considering that didnt happen no one can tell you for sure what the world would be like today.\nThey can guess or even imagine...but how are they to know for sure.\n\nI bet back then if you told people what the world would be like today you would have been tarred and feathered!

TV and Radio\n\nBoth use transmitter networks and satellite to transmit the media to the public so have a look at them and see if that helps

The media. Through spin and sensationalism they control the minds and emotions of the masses. They are the one international power that affects every civilized nation without exception and can induce riots, revolts, protests, public outrage, boycotts, or whatever else they wish.
