5.3 The times are changing

What do you remember form the last lesson?

Differences

• At the same time,  different types of relationships started to happen more and were accepted. 

More than one

• Things like this were unthinkable during the 50's! 

Divorce

• There was a rise in divorces.
• The Netherlands  came with a new divorce law in 1971.
• This ended the ''Big Lie''. 

Turning point

• 1973 became a turning point: Economic Crisis.
•  An oil crisis was the cause.
• The conflict in the Middle East caused the OPEC (Mostly Arabic countries) to up the prices of oil. 

Youth

• Mentality amongst the youth was grim.
• The Punk subculture was a reaction to the crisis of the 1970s (''no future idea'' due to many cases of unemployment), 

Gabbers

• In the 90s the ''Gabber culture''  arose.
• They listened to house music and their heads were (mostly) shaved bald.
• They used drugs like XTC.

Purple

• In the 80s  purple cabinets had the power.
• This is a cabinet with social-democratic and liberal parties.

2001

• Things became grim again after 2001, because

1. Lower incomes didn't prosper from the increasing prosperity.
2. Bureaucracy. There were too many rules and restrictions.
3. An increasing amount of people were against a multicultrual society (populism).
