The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive.
In the Western world, the focus shifted from the social activism of the the sixties to social activities simply for one's own pleasure, save for environmentalism, which continued in a very visible way. The seventies were characterized by the writer Tom Wolfe as the "Me Decade."
The perception of the established institutions of nuclear family, religion and trust in one's government continued to lose ground during this time. Major developments of the sexual revolution included the awareness of the impact of contraceptive pills on social-interactional relationships, and an increase in divorce rates, single parent households, and pre-marital sex. By the end of the decade the feminist movement had helped improve women's working conditions. The United States' defeat in the Vietnam War and the resignation of Richard Nixon help lead to a vague sense of malaise.
