“After getting our bearings together and spending some time reflecting, we’re excited to give our fans something to help them through this unpredictable and very touch-and-go time.” “Then we went through line-up changes, COVID and a slew of protests and riots all over the world and felt too drained to prepare a music release.
“We recorded this music over a two-year time period and had been so excited to release and tour in spring,” says Danielle Johnson, the band’s lead singer and co-founder. Then, of course, the pandemic happened, and everything relating to schedules was suddenly up in the air. V enturing down novel sonic avenues with a new line-up of musicians, Hoochi Coochi was looking forward to releasing The Watershed, their most recent EP, shortly after their well-received performance at Philadelphia’s City Winery in March. This is why I think that the development of birth control, the invention of the Internet and the Moon landing are worth mentioning as the “watershed” moments of the history.Hoochi Coochi finally get their due with the release of their new EP Without any of these moments our world would never be the way we know it today. The importance of these three events cannot be underestimated. The Internet is blamed for creating destructive influences and clouding people’s minds, but on the other hand, this net provides us with quick communication in the emergency situations, gives us global banking system and a lot of knowledge.Īll of these events happened in the thirty year period between 19 and influenced the future of the United States and the mankind in general in social, financial, cultural, political and scientific aspects. The opinions against contraception come from religious confessions, they say that birth control is sinful and immoral, but there are also points of view, which notice that contraception is very helpful to fight issues like overpopulation of the planet, poverty and many dangerous diseases. On the other hand, such important things as cell phones nowadays depend on the satellites that are in space due to the process of exploration. In the argument about the importance of these events there are opinions saying that the Moon landing was not important for the majority of people, it definitely is a technological break though, but it did not change the lives of humans much. It made a significant impact not only on the technological development but on the cultural and social life of the whole planet. This step opened new horizons for the mankind. The first time a man stepped on the surface of the Moon was observed and followed by millions of Americans and people from all around the world. The space missions encouraged by the flow of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States led to many great achievements for the world’s science.
It is a new stage of getting to know the world around us. This moment in human history is a significant point of our technological progress and the development of the power of the thought. The last, but not the least “watershed” event I would like to mention is the Moon landing and the exploration of the space. This invention was transformed in multiple ways since it first appeared, and it is now an irreplaceable part of the whole world’s life. The scientists never stopped working on this project and by the 1980s they already were using a worldwide network. In several years the computer scientists invented a way to send data from one computer to another. The network was expected to carry communicational functions and serve as an alternative to the telephone connection. The first net designed to connect computers to one another was called ARPAnet and it was first introduced in 1962. The next event that happened between 19 and has changed the history forever was the development of networking. This invention became a new step in the human history and the history of equal rights between the genders. By the beginning of the 70s the means of birth control were no longer a part of the federal anti-obscenity laws.Īfter the contraception was announced legal, many pharmaceutical companies started to develop more versions and types of long and short lasting reversible birth control. Most of single women had no rights to use contraceptives. Birth control was considered an illegal practice before 1960s. One of such moments is the development of reproductive rights.
