The 1950s is referred to as “era of conformity” you ether behaved a certain way or became rejected by society.

That is true. But now we live in 2017 and things have changed drastically. The good thing about looking back to 1950 is so we can appreciate how far women have come. Many countries have female presidents.
Mentally ill people are treated better than they used to be. We can be schizophrenic and be considered an awesome college professor. We can be bipolar and considered the best artist on Earth. We are no longer thrown in black holes and zapped to death like we used to be back in the 50s.
