5.3 The Times are Changing

What do you remember from last lesson?

Different

• The standards (norms) and values of people changed during the sixties. 
• A standard is seen as normal behaviour in society.
• Values are what people consider to be important.

Exercise

Find 3 standards (norms) and 3 values. 

Nation-state

• Standards and values make the people of a country feel as one.
• Some countries have different standards and values than the Netherlands. 

50's

• In the 50's there was something called pillarisation.
• Religion was important!

Secularisation

• This changed in the 60's: secularisation.
• The church became less important and  had less influence!

60's

• Not only secularisation and depillarisation , but also higher wages (1963), individualisation and democratisation (referendum).

Dolle Mina

• The babyboomers had grown up and became the protest generation.
•  The pill was invented, which was a safe way for birth control and it changed sexual ethics. However, the church was against this. 
• Women did not have equal rights with men when it came to work or education. The Dolle Minas wanted to change this. 

Second Feminist Wave

• Women wanted equal rights,  equal wages and equal opportunities. 
• The Dolle Minas wanted to achieve this by protesting. These were usually a bit playful or funny.

Exercise

Find two Dolle Mina protests and explain...

• Why they are protesting.
• What they did during the protest.

We'll discuss some afterwards.
