A living organization changes with time. Some
parts of it may remain identical to that which was
first constructed. Most parts will adapt to
changes in the world, in society, and in mankind
itself. If it does not change, it withers and
dies. Organizations which fail to adapt to
changes, whether they like it or not, tend to
become shrunken relics of their original selves.
They become mummified images of a once living
creation. Such an organization is the Ku Klux
Klan, better known as the KKK. The...

Streetcar Named Desire One Can Understand

Throughout the 1950 s many revolutions took place.
There was a loss of idealism. The end of what
would be called the golden age brought upon the
children of the fifties a sense of illegitimacy
and unimportance. The 50 s brought in the music of
Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis and the
entertainment value of the Annie Oakley show. All
of which had a certain revolutionary quality.
Elvis brought America sex appeal and caused what
was later seen as a great loss of morality among
