Modern day<br /> Although our current generation has vastly progressed and advanced since the “roaring 20s,” there are countless attributes in which both eras directly resemble one another. These periods were the focal points of advancements in technology, women’s rights, and culture. The groundbreaking advances in technology for both generations had sparked a whole new outlook on our nation’s future ahead. Women’s rights were also a major turning point for education and the workforce, both in the <a href='/topics/1920-s' style='color:#3174a3'>1920s</a> and the modern day. Lastly, the influence of many individuals in the cultural communities of the “roaring 20s” and the modern day have greatly impacted the foundations of art, music, and sports. Without a doubt, the way of life for individuals in both eras have extremely similar concepts, where both seem to focus on establishing a progressive and strongly developing future.<br /> <br /> Technology has been the focal point in both generations, establishing many revolutionary changes that altered the nation’s future ahead. The 1920’s were the beginning of a new age, originating the inventions of the television, the Ford Model T. automobile, the Jukebox, and many other essential items. The Model T. created by Henry Ford changed the whole aspect of transportation, providing Americans with the freedom to travel more at a much more affordable cost.

Although cultures among the United States vary, the wide spread of technology is something all regions of America can relate to. From East to West, changes in entertainment, sports, and radio were major contributions to the change of pop culture. The 1920’s was the beginning of a new era that shaped the way the United States forever viewed the media. A chain reaction was built throughout the twenties, making the country closer from coast to coast.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>471 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/How-Did-Pop-Culture-Influence-The-Culture-642239A28DDB4EAC">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Only-Yesterday-by-Frederick-Lewis-Allen-FKJGGEPCTJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay about Only Yesterday by Frederick Lewis Allen</h2></a><ul><li>740 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Only-Yesterday-by-Frederick-Lewis-Allen-FKJGGEPCTJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay about Only Yesterday by Frederick Lewis Allen</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Although the roaring twenties are usually thought of as a time of universal prosperity, the reality is that unless one was Caucasian and well-to-do, society tended to shun the outliers (women, minorities, etc), propelling them out of political affairs and social scenes. Women rebelled, becoming increasingly promiscuous as the decade wore on. In 1920, it would have been unheard of to show an ankle, sport a bob haircut, or darken one’s eyes with what seemed like paint. By 1928, the younger generation was revealed as socially progressive, engaging in previously unthinkable behavior such as smoking, drinking in bars, and sex. Flappers became prevalent, with their flouncy skirts and short hair adorned with a jeweled headband. The decade earned its second nickname, “The Jazz Age”, from the incredible musical talents that emerged out of Harlem and other areas of the United States, leading to a less “restrained” entertainment.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>740 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Only-Yesterday-by-Frederick-Lewis-Allen-FKJGGEPCTJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay3"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Roaring-20s-Research-Paper-A054606EF1954441" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Roaring 20's Research Paper</h2></a><ul><li>580 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Roaring-20s-Research-Paper-A054606EF1954441" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Roaring 20's Research Paper</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Throughout a decade you will have several years that will have a certain title. They get their titles by how they affected the future. The 20’s will always be known as the roaring 20’s because it was a time where the culture started to embrace freedom. The general public considers the 1920’s to have been a good time for most Americans and I agree with this assessment of the time period for multiple reasons.

Unlike the gradual fluctuations in modern day society which lead tension in its wake, the 1920’s was a bombardment of radical change ranging from societal norms to economic consumption. The end of World War I led to the end of idealism, and evolving values began to escalate towards the 1920’s. The surge of immigrants allowed for greater and greater economic booms, including the use of credit and involvement in the stock market. Thus, increasing racial tensions surfaced, heightening as economic booms amplified. Such a deep shift in American culture conflicted with traditional mentalities.

One of the inventions were that Henry Ford invented the Model-T automobile. It became so famous that each family in the U.S had one car. This automobile made life easier for workers. They didn’t need to live close to where they worked anymore. The automobile also made it easier for people to visit their relatives who didn’t live as close to them. Because of this invention, they started arranging various highways. Not only did the Model-T automobile have an impact by making it easier for people to travel places, but it also affected life during this decade by increasing road construction and motivating oil industries.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>612 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/What-Are-The-Major-Inventions-Of-The-628289FDF4B90418">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay6"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Changing-Roles-Of-Women-During-World-War-FKCVEX3VUXZQ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Changing Roles Of Women During World War I</h2></a><ul><li>998 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Changing-Roles-Of-Women-During-World-War-FKCVEX3VUXZQ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Changing Roles Of Women During World War I</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The decade of the twenties has become known as “The Roaring Twenties,” “The Epoch of Confusion,” “The Age of Intolerance and Wonderful Nonsense,” “The Jazz Age,” amongst many others, all of which attempt to encompass the great times and good feelings of this decade that would influence modern America for many decades to come.

There were many issues in relation to race and how people of different ethnic groups were treated. African American had a cultural rejuvenation that being the Harlem Renaissance. The advent of the Ford Model T change the way how people traveled. Many may say an era like the 1950’s were highly comparable. Race related issues were on a decline as America as whole sought to be more accepting and the oppressed started to speak out on it. While some may argue that the 1920’s and the 1950’s were similar time periods, you can say they were different due to how the way minority ethnic groups were treated and the new consumerist lifestyles of people in the 1950’s.

In America, the end of World War I in 1919 represented a great opportunity for capitalists around the nation to further grow their wealth with what seemed to be no downside. However, capital’s reliance on sign exchange value, where individuals subscribe to beliefs and purchase goods because of what they represent, caused drastic changes in society. The value of interpersonal relations diminished, and the very meaning of reality was synthesized and then deconstructed.

The most scintillating impressions of that era are flappers and dance halls, movie palaces and radio empires, and Prohibition and speakeasies. Scientists unraveled boundaries of space and time, engineers built wonders, aviators flew men, and women were free to work. The country was confident and rich.

The world had just finished the biggest war in history, the First World War, and the United States was left almost unharmed by the war. The United States was able to experience a decade of peace and success following the war. During this decade, America became the wealthiest country in the world (Trueman, 2000). The people in the United States went through a colorful period during the twenties. However, at the same time the 1920s was also a very rebellious and difficult time for many. The culture of the 1920s has influenced the culture of America’s society today.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1707 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li><li>13 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/The-Culture-of-the-1920s-in-America-FKC38WEZTJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay15"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/1920s-Argumentative-Essay-C3EDCA34C2424C06" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">1920s Argumentative Essay</h2></a><ul><li>1638 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/1920s-Argumentative-Essay-C3EDCA34C2424C06" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">1920s Argumentative Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The 1920s is often stereotyped as the “Golden Twenties”, “Jazz Age”, and the “Roaring Twenties”. This was because the 1920s glorified and fantasized this era as being a wonderful time of excitement. During this time, there was also dramaturgic divide between the America’s pastime, and future. The nineteenth century, before World War I remained rooted culturally, without alteration. With the rise of the next generation, America seemed to disconnect its current attachment to the past, and guide into a more modern age. The divide between innovation and tradition created extreme contradictions as it switched over to urbanism and modernism (Zeitz). The 1920s also showed the economic boom from post World War I, the great migration of African American’s from the South to search for opportunity, and racial violence with the rise of the KKK.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1638 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large
