How did j.
d. salinger, in the catcher in the rye, depict the culture of the 1950s?

During the 1950s, the country was recovering from the trauma and disruption that WWII had caused. In order to do so, many people believed it was necessary for society to go back to a point in which social rules were not questioned, and peace and routine were maintained. This was aided by the fact that the economy of post-WWII US was booming. Therefore, society became more rigid and social rules were enforced much more intensely.

This is the culture that J. D. Salinger depicts in his novel. He argues, in an indirect way, that the culture of the 1950s was oppressive and false. Moreover, he created characters who refused to conform to such a society. His characters use profanity, question moral and social rules and feel alienated in the world. These issues resonated with many people, and led The Catcher in the Rye to become a classic book in the countercultural revolt of these years.

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
