Answers
Between World War I and World War II America went through events in the political, economical and social areas that would change the face of the nation forever. The various eras- World War I, the Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression & the New Deal, and World War II each had separate issues that caused changes in relation to class, gender, domestic and international affairs. Although many of these events were only effective temporarily, others still show a strong influence today. Movements such as woman suffrage, events such as dropping the atomic bomb, and social eras such as The Harlem Renaissance still play an important role in the lives of Americans today.
The Roaring Twenties was for many a symbol of excitement, innovation, redefining roles of gender, race and class. Our everyday social life is based on many of the changes that occurred during those years.
The technologic inventions of the 1920s, such as the assembly line, commercial radio broadcasting, commercial aviation, increased use of telephones, early computing devices and genetic research are a huge part of our everyday life. New ways to organize labor and administrate the corporate system were being put into use. Farming was becoming mechanized- and the number of farmers dropped by millions. The new concept of mass consumption, or Consumerism, was booming across the country. Advertisements became a familiar addition to the landscape. New magazines, such as Time or The Reader’s Digest were produced. Hollywood became a name that was automatically associated with movies. Sound and color were added to the movies and they became one of the more popular social and leisure events.
