    1920's Cultural Changes

    As a period of wealth and prosperity, the Roaring Twenties represented a few of the main cultural and economical changes throughout America. This age received its name from the exuberant era ranging from 1918 to 1929. The second half of the decade became known as the “Golden Twenties.” Typified by roaring automobiles, industrial factories, jazz music, and loud crowded streets, the Roaring Twenties reflected an epoch of exorbitant revelry. The economy thrived and society gradually became more accepting of other cultures and influences. Although this time period expressed progress towards modern society, many did not approve of the adjustment. From this, the Ku Klux Klan, or the KKK, sprouted as well as the “cultural civil war.” The economical,…

    10th grade research paper on the vietnam war

    The war had a lasting effect on all parties involved. The US lost its first war, the objective of stopping communism from spreading failed. The war was also the first that the people and soldiers couldn't look back on with pride of a sense of accomplishment (Hochgesang, Lawyer, Stevenson 1). Due to the government’s secrecy and over reach of power, a distrust of the United States government, as an institution, grew that still exists today. The fall out of the war had massive, negative impacts on south East Asian countries. More countries would fall to communism. The devastation of the war caused economic repercussions that still effect countries today. Not only did the war cause lasting damage multiple countries, but it allowed situations that caused the death, slaughter, and starvation of millions in the years following the war (sparknotes).…

    Homer Plessy And Jim Crow Law

    It mainly started in the year of 1896 when the United States Supreme Court supported the idea of “separate but equal.” This idea came along by the Supreme Court by a certain incidence that occurred in 1892.

    Indentured Servants Vs Slavery

    In the 1600s black and white people related to each other by the first African indentured servants arrived in the Virginia Colony of the United States of America in 1619. They were indentured servants and not slaves because the Spanish had baptized them and the English believed that baptized people could not be enslaved. This era was truly the beginning of white opinions dominating Black lives across continents. However, blacks and white worked side by side, married each other freely, ran away from their masters together and even rose up against the rich together, guns were drawn. Blacks had the same rights as whites of the same social status. From 1640 to 1723 the American colonies, particularly in the South, passed laws that ate away…

    Life in the 1950's compared to Today

    Life today is very fast-paced. Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere and will push you out of the way to get there, like it's some kind of race. In our personal lives, we have our cell phones, and maybe a home phone, scheduled play dates for our kids, microwaves, satellite TV, home security systems that don't involve dogs, solar landscape lighting, automatic underground sprinkler systems for our lawns, and compact fluorescent lights to replace the incandescent bulbs that waste energy. In the business world, you have meetings that you can attend by using a video phone, PowerPoint presentations to help you get your point across at the meetings you can't get out of, instant messaging to speak to clients and other businesses around the world, cell phones with computers built right into them to do everything simultaneously, navigational systems for the company cars to get you from point a to point b, and food replicators (just kidding). Items such as cell phones, computers, PDA's, mp3 players, the internet, cable television and satellites, make this fast pace possible; and that's only a few of the many hundreds of thousands of things that have been invented over the years to make life easier, and move us into the digital information age.…
