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,…

Over the past 15 years it has increased by 10 per cent…
A decade may sound like a short time, but in reality, many things could happen in just that one decade. One decade can totally change what happens and make a 180 degree turn of what was happening. In the 1920s, World War 1 has just ended and soldiers were coming back from many casualties. From America being stuck in war, they were finally able to celebrate. A dramatic change had begun and the cultural structure had completely changed. A great economic growth was able to happen because of consumer goods, and this swept up America into a completely different society. From being reserved and rural, people became urbanized. Throughout the 1920s, cultural factors like the Jazz Age, Flappers, and the jazz music was what made Americans flourish and…

The history of the United States plays a huge role in how the nation, as well as the world, is today. Politics, social, and economic factors led our country to where it is now.

Throughout history the roles of women have changed dramatically. Since the 1950’s, women have slowly but surely evolved into the individuals one sees today in public offices, law firms or even the five o’ clock news. However, this evolution did not occur over night. Although women in the 1950’s and today have dealt with similar stereotypes, today life has greatly improved because women aren’t as pressured to get married, are taken more seriously in the business world, and are even making as much or more money as men.…

Racism was still very predominant in the 1950s. During these times, it was tolerable to have businesses serving only white people or only black people. The major record companies of this time where no exception from this practice. The first generation of rhythm and blues and rock and roll musicians who became popular during these times frightened most parents. Artists such as Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard played music with lyrics relating to sex, school, provocative dancing and rock and roll itself. The record companies even substituted the terms rhythm and blues records with “race records,” describing recordings by African American artists that were not gospel or jazz. The white society protested rock and roll encouraging people not to buy this music. It was too late; the road that led to rock and roll was paved with gold, and certain people noticed this.…

Two eras in time were the 1930's and 1960's. Both of these two periods in time are interesting in their own ways. Also people usually think the 1960's were all about fun which wasn't always true. In addition people think that a main event in the 30's was the Great Depression which in fact is true but there's more to the 30's than most people think. There are many seminaries and differences in these two are fashion, inventions/technology, and music. Three similarities between them are the people involved during the time, entertainment, and conflicts.…
