Put'in in the Ritz
Put'in in the Ritz
When Irvin Berlin wrote "Put’in on the Ritz" in 1927, the wild 20s were in full swing. The days and nights of elegant sophistication were the last scream. Whit tie and cocks, as they say. Where this generation of women wore flapper and speakeasys, the action was. The culture of the 1920s flourished and made Put’in on the Ritz into the yardstick of society until the early 1930s. Practically wherever you looked at from New York to Chicago at the time, happiness and exuberance transcended cultures and put the world out of the Charleston dance time.
The refinement of this era defined a nation. Sad, although the global economic crisis soon caught the world in which too many were caught in a downward cycle towards poverty. Many searched for refuge by watching the films to imagine how it would be to experience these carefree days from yesterday. Fascinated by the performances of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and others made these days of misery more bearable.
When the world came closer to the Second World War, a new ear appeared. The 1940s, when the sights and sounds, especially in music, removed society from the elegant sophistication that prevailed 20 years ago. The swing age of Benny Goodman, Crooners like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra set the tone for a departure from the time when people put on the scratch. For us baby boomers, it was our parents, who experienced the happiness of the 1920s, danced the Charleston, survived the hard times of the global economic crisis and freed the world from the scourge of the Second World War that made it a lot of the moral values, integrity and social customs that existed for more than 40 years.
Even if we were taught the same moral standards as our parents, one has to say that a sociological change was already underway. When the Second World War came to an end, the advent of rock and roll began and in the mid -1950s there was another sociological change. Many can say that the cause of the renewed postponement of society as a whole is related to the development of new acceptance in music, entertainment and social norms. A gradual departure from the strict behavior and clothing that was the accepted norm years ago also helped to change in companies.
This sociological change in the 50s and again in the 1960s, the sophistication, etiquette and the mannerisms that enabled society to avoid all the pitfalls that are anchored in today's society. Our schools were the first to deteriorate the rules of conduct, respect and discipline. The BabyBoomer generation was almost insurmountable towards difficulty when she tried to convey what she had taught, just about external powers from Dr. To find spock mentality craze and the entertainment. It was the entertainment industry, from a large part of the music such as hard rock, hip hop and rap to today's video games that have turned our company upside down. We also have to recognize that the Vietnam War, together with many judgments of the Supreme Court, has undermined the recovery of a certain extent of the elegant sophistication of the companies, as Put’in on the Ritz in today's society would not only be possible, but would also be more acceptable.
The usual norm of today is far from the days of Irvin Berlin. When I look back on how my parents and the parents of the children with whom I grew up, all had the same qualities in the way they wore themselves. According to today's standards, it is so a shame, because many today could not imagine how our parents in my youth have approached behavior. And yet in our upbringing we have made it so much of the violence, the lack of moral judgment and the lack of respect, which is not only shown by our youth today.
We should all remember put’in on the Ritz and welcome it because this madness and this sentence symbolize a nation. The Dapper Sophistification America is an aspect of our society that has transformed our culture into sophistication and elegance that has been lost. As my father told me when I grew up in Chicago, the 1920s were even one of the best times with Al Capone that influenced the development of my father and how he influenced the values and moral integrity that have made as many of us into baby boomers, as they say "to live and thrive".
