G. I. Joe war toys, western cowboys movies, and the Indian movies were the concept of Englehardt.

G. I. Joe (war toys):

Peak: During the time of the 1040s to 1960s there were G. I. Joe toys which built the concept of becoming a soldier in the minds of the kids. Fall: In the seventies, there were efforts to tone down the toys a little bit later then went completely out.

Potential revival: But the toys return again in the eighties.

Films & TV series:

Peak: There were movies like these western, cowboys and the Indian movies where there was discrimination on the basis of the caste and the color. People watched this movie as a reassurance that they had won WWII. Fall: These movies disappeared and anti-war movies came.

Potential revival:For example, movies like star wars came again.
