Social Changes After Ww2

On December 7th, 1941, Japanese fighter planes staged an attack on U.S naval and military forces based in Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. In around just two hours, America suffered from approximately 3,435 casualties including 2,000 deaths. The shattering defeat cost the U.S, 8 battle ships and around 200 airplanes. The following day, President Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. This was approved, and more than two years into the conflict, America had eventually fully committed to the war.

After the end of World War II, the United States went through many changes. Most of the changes were for the better, but some had an adverse effect on certain population centers. Many programs, agencies and policies were created to transform American society and government.

World War II was a war that changed the world. It affected many lives across the globe, including those in America. The lives of women and minorities in America were greatly changed. Women became a key part in aiding the war effort, and minorities took the opportunity to push for civil rights. However, for Japanese Americans, the war had a very negative effect as they were seen as a threat to our country. World War II truly impacted these groups of people and transformed their of ways of life.

World War II changed the lives of many Americans overnight. Men, women, children, everyone was impacted by it in one way or another. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese, the United States made the decision to enter World War II and fight back. World War II gave those who were discriminated against better opportunities. World War II impacted many Americans especially Latinos, African Americans, and women. Even though they were all discriminated against equally before World War II, during World War II Latinos and African Americans had a more positive experience than women.

World War II had a big effect on what was already going on in this time period. World War II was the most destuctive war conflict in history because it had the most effect on money. The war began inn 1939 when the British and France declared war after the takeover in Poland. The United States didn't decide to join the war until after

The American home front during World War II is recalled warmly in popular memory and cultural myth as a time of unprecedented national unity, years in which Americans stuck together in common cause. World War II brought many new ideas and changes to American life. Even though World War II brought no physical destruction to the United States mainland, it did affect American society. Every aspect of American life was altered by U.S. involvement in the war including demographics, the labor force, economics and cultural trends.

Due to the successfulness of World War II, Americas society underwent superb economic and social growth. Between the years of 1939 through 1965, a change was seen within minorities, women's status, and the middle class lifestyle; subsequently, resulting in an all around better life for the citizens of America prior to World War II. As a result of the war, people were now open to segregation, women were a part of the workforce, and the possibility of owning your own house was more probable than ever. One might argue that the changes seen after World War II were not superior --due to reluctant fears for growth and change in America--; however, the changes seen after World War II were inevitable acts that helped shape The America now seen in 2016.

WWII had a major impact on America both positive and negative. The war affected many aspects of American life and had lasting impacts even after the war ended. The war required a huge production effort to provide the materials the soldiers needed to fight. The United States produced weapons for the war and became “an arsenal of democracy.” The United States experienced a change in economic and social patterns and this provided a template for years after the war. On the positive side, WWII brought about many changes to world. It brought us into the modern age, revolutionized warfare, established America and Russia as the supreme powers of the world, laid the political geography for the next century, was the origin of the Cold War, introduced nuclear weapons to the world, revolutionized large-scale warfare, showed what an evil regime is capable of (Holocaust, Japanese POW camps), introduced or started new, and it brought war to a completely new destructive scale.

World War II brought several changes to the world and specifically America. It not only changed the world map but also set impact on the behaviours. WWII played a major role in building turning points during different periods. Before WWII, African Americans were not offered equal rights in the community. It was considered an impossible thing that African could ever do a white collar or even a blue collar job. However, soon after the WWII, there came a turning point in the lives of African American with the Civil Rights Act in 1964.

In the economic aspect, the war ended the Great Depression. (Winkler,1986) In 1940, money was being spent to aid the war effort and in return boosted the American economy. (Winkler,1986) The production of war necessities such as weapons opened up door for the unemployed. (Winkler,1986) Millions of unemployed Americans returned to work to make the weapons of war needed to protect the United States. (Winkler,1986) “During the war 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporate profits after taxes doubled.” (Goodwin,1992) War needs directly consumed over one-third of the output of industry causing a slight decrease in consumer goods production. (Goodwin,1992) U.S economy converted to wartime production therefore most consumer goods were

World War II was a very important event in American history, but as bad as war is or seems to be there always seems to have better outcomes in the end. By the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and bringing America into the war it opened the eyes of all Americans to the problems not only domestically but internationally and the biggest problem that was discovered after the completion of World War II was the level of social equality around the world. It had been a problem that had plagued the world for many years but the atrocities that brought about by the war coupled with the ever growing eye of the media caused for greater concern in the light of social equality in the world.

You walk into a high school classroom, you see students half asleep, some bored with the material, maybe even a handful being attentive and studious. You do not know these students and they do not know you, you are just a fly on the wall here. You look in the back corner, trying to hide away from the classroom, a student in a sweatshirt way too big for their body, baggy jeans and sneakers. You assume that the student doesn’t want to be there, and wants to go home as quickly as possible. But, you are just an observer here. As the class leaves to go on to other subjects, you see that student appears to have feminine features hidden under all the baggy apparel. You might even think to yourself, “why is that girl dressed like she is wearing her

World War II had a definite impact on the United States. It changed how people lived and how other people were viewed. Not many people realize the treatment of people from our own country during World War II. Three groups of people that were affected were women, African Americans, and Japanese Americans. The lives of these people were changed drastically, whether by having to work, mistreatment because of skin color, or by being blamed for something that was done by a country they were native to.

World War 2 is a war that was fought globally between the years 1939 to 1945. The war mainly involved all the great powers of the world.

Take a trip to a nearby university. As you walk the pristine courtyards, perhaps you see a small group of upperclassmen holding trays of food and containers of alcohol for a later party. Your eyes flicker towards the alcohol being carried in the arms of a laughing male in the rowdy group, knowing that it will only enhance their wild behavior, causing them to act out inappropriately. However, only those who attended the party will know what inappropriate actions were displayed. Nonetheless, what is unknown to those attending the party, and many Americans, is that in recent years at least 23% of women in college will later report that they were sexually assaulted (Wallace). Without parental guidance a newly found type of freedom has resonance in college students. Some students choose to abuse their newly found freedom in illegal manners that include sexual harassment. Sexual harassment has captured the attention of many universities in the last few years. With the reports increasing, many universities have taken action to protect their students from forms of unwanted sexual contact which can range from forced kissing, to touching, to rape. Previously, in order to protect their reputation, many universities attempted to cover up few reports of sexual harassment. However, due to the recent dramatic rise in reports of sexual harassment, universities have now gone to great lengths to stop further reports of sexual harassments by effectively placing restrictions and policies to
