The 1960's
|
|
|
|
Mr. Basiuk is the person I chose for my interview. Rather than
|
|
immigrating to Canada, Mr. Basiuk was born in Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba,
|
|
in 1936. He was educated in high school to the north end of Winnipeg at
|
|
St. John's Technical High School. He spent two years altogether in grade
|
|
10 and 11 then attended five years in the University Of Manitoba and
|
|
graduated as an electrical engineer. Unfortunately, he was not able to
|
|
find a job in this profession in this area, and therefore began his career
|
|
as a teacher; and has been teaching for the last thirty years.
|

|
Interview
|
|
|
|
Who was in political power and how affective was he in accomplishing
|
|
his goals? I wasn't really interested nor paid much attention to politics,
|
|
therefore I cannot answer this question.
|
|
|
|
What things did you want to see changed by the government? What sort
|
|
of problems did the government face and how were they solved? I wanted to
|
|
see the government have more concern for the poor people. Things such as
|
|
Medicare, OHIP, and pension plans. The government faced many problems, one
|
|
of the most toughest, I think, was the deep recession occurring in the
|
|
60's.
|
|
|
|
What special events or figures were most significant to you? Name some
|
|
of the social trends you took part in. Well, I didn't have any hero's or
|
|
someone to look up to until later on in my 20's when someone invited me to
|
|
Montreal to watch a folk singer called Pete Seager. From this time on, I
|
|
became really dedicated and interested in music and this really influenced
|
|
my life. I was a teacher than, so I didn't really take part in social
|
|
events, yet there was a building north of Jarvis called Yorkville and
|
|
teenagers would usually gather there to dance and have fun. I would
|
|
occasionally go to that place.
|
|
|
|
State the differences in fashion from the 60's and today. Which music
|
|
group or band did you enjoy listening to? What types of dances did you
|
|
enjoy? First of all, teenagers and especially woman would wear clothes with
|
|
more colour and beads. Bellbottoms were in back at that time. There are
|
|
certain people who wear lots of flowers and turned out to be called the
|
|
flower power. This name was given because they believed that being "nice"
|
|
to others would help change the country--so they gave many people flowers
|
|
and asked them to be their friend. I really enjoyed listening to folk
|
|
music. There isn't any particular person I really admired for his or her
|
|
music but originally Pete Seager started my career in music. Hmm... I
|
|
didn't dance at all.
|
|
|
|
Name the movies you watched that were spectacular and why they were.
|
|
What were the prices like? Ah, some of the movies I watched were mainly
|
|
those with Marilan Grandle called On The Water Front, Sword OŸ The Greek.
|
|
I really enjoyed watching these movies because it gave me time to relax
|
|
from my work and this was a new movie revolution. I think they were about
|
|
two to three dollars.
|
|
|
|
What types of haircuts did you have and how would you compare them with
|
|
today's? What types of food did you prefer eating then, and why? Believe it
|
|
or not, I had long hair down to my shoulders. I still remember, however,
|
|
that we all had to wear ties to school and not any regular t-shirts. I
|
|
admit they weren't the best haircuts, but I wouldn't say today's are
|
|
either. The things I mainly ate were perogies, cabbage rolls, and sour
|
|
crums. The 60's was the first time they ever ate things that were healthy
|
|
such as salad, and other vegetables. Usually I would eat meat, meat, and
|
|
just meat... eheh.
|
|
|
|
What was your philosophy of life? Do you remember any old sayings you
|
|
can tell me? To do my best for others and respect their thoughts, stay
|
|
honest, single, and young. I remember teenagers saying things like "don't
|
|
trust anyone over 30" and that's what they just did. Everyone rebelled
|
|
against their parents. I guess there were so many teenagers then ever
|
|
before since the Baby Boom. Teenagers gained control in the 60's. Women,
|
|
also gained some power as I recall... But I don't remember too much about
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
What type of economic problems did you face and did they affect your
|
|
life? Was it difficult to find jobs, and how? Since I was a teacher at the
|
|
age of 20, I had money rolling in, thus, I didn't really have any economic
|
|
problems. I would say it was difficult but not too hard. I myself
|
|
couldn't find a job in the fields I studies for so, that's why I became a
|
|
teacher.
|
|
|
|
How did you feel about the FLQ crisis and how did this influence your
|
|
life? Were you for or against separation? Why? I felt it was ridiculous
|
|
that people had to use violence in order to get what they want. This,
|
|
however, didn't influence my life in any way. I was definitely against it.
|
|
I think that every province should be treated equally and there's no reason
|
|
why Quebec should have special treatment. Actually, I feel somewhat strong
|
|
about the Quebec situation; if I was in charge, I wouldn't give them
|
|
anything that any of the other provinces don't get!
|
|
|
|
If there was one thing you could change in the 60's, what would it be,
|
|
and why? Drugs for sure. I feels that this was a major concern in the
|
|
60's. Teenagers were testing drugs and obviously went crazy over them.
|
|
They were also living with each other without getting married. Since this
|
|
crisis hasn't been resolved at that time, it is now today's concern as
|
|
well. Young people began to question a lot of things that they accepted to
|
|
that point. You must understand that the 60's was a time of change. It
|
|
was the turning point from the years before the 60's and the years after.
|
|
Teenagers began to rebel against parents and authority and this reflected
|
|
the way they lived in the 60's. The 60's were fun!
|
|
|
|
Analysis
|
|
|
|
This brief fortunate interview with Mr. Basiuk game me a general idea
|
|
what it would be like living as a teen in the 60's. I realize how someone
|
|
who lived through the 60's could have such a special and long lasting
|
|
memory. No one could forget the thrilling, life risking, and especially
|
|
fun filling 60's. This was the time where parents' orders were ignored and
|
|
every thing was expressed freely. Drugs were a major teen crisis back
|
|
then, and now as well. A person who did not have fun in the 60's is
|
|
considered not to have lived through it.
|
|
|
|
The 60's has been a time where everything changed and many revolutions
|
|
began, such as music, fashion, movies, and food. Yes, definitely this time
|
|
would never be forgotten. Canada, surely had a big change. The 60's made
|
|
up what the 90's are now. Parties rolled everywhere as politicians
|
|
continued to fight for or against separatism. Everything was happening all
|
|
at once, it was a hectic movement for everyone. Those who were well off
|
|
were care freeing, whereas, the less fortunate spent hours on the streets
|
|
begging or using drugs. Protests were common everywhere, especially in
|
|
Quebec where separatism was the main issue. People assumed that things
|
|
could be done through violent actions. And although, it was clearly
|
|
understood it solves nothing, it still was neglected. Every moment in the
|
|
60's shall be cherished and you'll be surprised on how much detail and
|
|
insights people can still recall about that decade. A lot happened in the
|
|
60's!
|
|
|
|
Being this my very first time interviewing a person, I found it ran
|
|
smoothly despite some major technical delays. It was hard at first, but
|
|
once I got into it, everything went perfectlyÄas I hoped. Being an
|
|
interviewer is not easy. You just don't sit there, ask questions, record
|
|
the response, and then leave. I realize that in order to have the best
|
|
results of an interview, you have to sit there and listen carefully.
|
|
Understand what the person is saying, look at his expressions and gestures,
|
|
and most of all, try to see things in the way he's telling them and not the
|
|
way you want to hear them. It's amazing how I felt when Mr. Basiuk started
|
|
telling me his experiences in the 60's. Interviewing someone really does
|
|
help building character and can be fun as well.
