The Great Depression

Flappers of the 20’s changed the standards of femininity forever in many ways. The major thing that these flapper girls did was make femininity marketable. Before the flapper generation, many women took part in the political realm and fought to have the same rights that men had. However, these flapper women wanted nothing to do with politics like their mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers did. These women found politics boring, and these women only wanted to have fun.

The Great Depression was a test of character and strength. The poverty ridden United states was a testament to the strong and willing. During this Depression women where the backbone to society. Women helped when no one else would. They gave when there was nothing to give and fought for those who could not.

The Great Depression can be a tough subject for most people, but still inspiring to others. The Great Depression was a very difficult time for America as well as women. The women of the Great Depression struggled through many trials, as did many others in the United States, but they were able to get through it all. The women of the Great Depression worked their hardest to stay true to themselves, and their family, as well as, to keep a job, a stable household, and for some, a strong marriage.

During this time period of the Great Depression the U.S went through many social and economic changes. From 1929-1939 people suffered the effects of the stock market crash, business failures and bank collapses. People took their money out of banks which made the economy worse and put us deeper into a depression. There was an increase in unemployment and many families lost their jobs which caused them to lose their homes and savings. Many husbands abandoned their wives and many people starved. The streets were filled with garbage and filth. Throughout the depression woman were largely effected in many ways.

During the Great Depression, life wasn’t easy. Many farmers lost their farms and during that same times, years of erosion and drought were created in the Midwest, where crops could no longer grow (about.com) and many families lost their savings as the numerous amount of banks collapsed in the early 1930s. Because these families could to not pay for rent payments or mortgage, they were forced out of their homes or were evicted from their apartments. Unemployed and underemployed male heads of the families founded the depression to be extremely difficult, because in traditional concepts, the men were the providers of the families (galegroup.com). Unemployment rose from three percent to 25 percent during the depression. Those who still had jobs, their wages fell 42 percent. Famers and other unemployed workers traveled to California to find work, but many of them ended up living as homeless (about.com) It is said in academic.mu.edu that The main role of women during

Many Americans still think that the Great Depression was caused by the stock market crashing, on October 29, 1929. What is true that most economists think now is that the stock market crash alone could not be fully to blame. There were many factors into creating the nationwide depression. The first being that the “Roaring 20’s” was the first time North Carolinians and their American counterparts could buy a lot more of the new consumer items, like washers and toasters, on newly available credit. The wealthy elite along with the new American business class, could not wait to come down to and enjoy leisure activities like the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, to spend all of that disposable free-flowing money. This was also one of the first times that average, middle-class people had more freedom because they had more income. In addition, banks in our state, as well as other states in the union, were small and unprotected. That means that when a bank went bankrupt, they could not pay back all of their loans or savings. Many farmers in North Carolina started to mechanize their new, larger farms to compete with other farms. This increased supply and dropped demand, lowered the price of food and made it harder to pay back the loans for the new tractors and machinery when the banks got into trouble for over-extending credit. Our state, like our small banks, did not depend on handouts from the Federal Government like

“Once I built a railroad, now it's done, Brother, can you spare a dime?” This was one of the songs of the Great Depression; most Americans had lost everything after 1929. However, during the early 1920s, times seemed to become good again. The first World War was over and, in America, a time of prosperity, industrialism, and economic growth spread. It must have been hard to picture that near the end of 1929, the economy would fall into the worst and longest lasting depression the nation had ever faced.

The 1930s was one of the most challenging times in US history, where the Great Depression caused millions of Americans to suffer through hardships because of the economy. Many people were out of work and unemployed, and the government at the time, believed that the best option was to stay out of its affairs, leaving the struggling people hung out to dry. It was not until Franklin Roosevelt was elected president, that the state of the country began to change. And that was due to the creation of the New Deal; a plan to alleviate the state of the country, providing help through increased government spending and programs, that led to its eventual recovery after the second World War.

During the Great Depression, things were hard for women. Many people had different opinions about what women should do. Many thought they shouldn’t work because they are taking men’s jobs and they thought that wasn’t right to the men. Many other people thought they should stay at home and just be a stay at home mom and clean the house and to make sure food is on the table when men came home from work. Women believed they should do there own thing, many women wanted to work during this time to help. The Great Depression made it hard for women because people had many different ideas on what they should do, White and African American women struggled differently, but in the end it became better for both groups.

My second wish is to write a country song that can help families that have been affected by natural disasters. I think that it would be great to have a country song that every single penny made on it went to the las vegas shooting ang hurricane families that have been affected and lost loved ones. What is going on right not with the natural disasters and the shootings and the terrorist attacks. It think that if i wrote a song that got sung by a willing singer it would be beneficial that the money wrnt to them. I hope this wish would help families.

In 1929 the stock market crashes due to an unstable economy, over speculation and Government policies. Many people think that the stock crash was to blame for the Great Depression but that is not correct. Both the crash and depression were the result of problems with the economy that were still underneath society 's minds. The depression affected people in a series of ways: poverty is spreading causing farm distress, unemployment, health, family stresses and unfortunately, discrimination increases. America tended to blame Hoover for the depression and all the problems. When the 1932 election came people weren’t very fond of Hoover, but Roosevelt on the other hand introduced Happy Days and everyone loved that idea.

The roaring twenties was a time filled with hope and change. President Warren G. Harding promised a “return to normalcy”, which reflected his own conservative values and the voters’ wants for stability and order. Americans felt that they had been through more than enough, and desired prosperity. During the years 1919 and 1920 the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments were passed; the outlaw of alcoholic beverages and the right for women to vote, which ones of the many reasons society was turning their backs on Progressivism. Republicans were beginning to return to their previous dominance. The 1920’s was an economic boom for America, including everything from an increase in jobs, a rise in plentiful goods, new consumer products, and the reduction of taxes. The country was filled with jazz music, dance, and what appeared to be a brighter future. The 1929 crash of stock market was the beginning of a downward spiral leading in to the Great Depression. The stock market crash is often to be confused as the cause of the Great Depression, although that is false. A few of the issues that lead to the Great Depression included; farming (which decreased in demand as farms increased through the states during World War I), banking, and mass unemployment. Capitalism took shape as what was once the individualistic Protestant work ethic was reshaped into industrial work on a grand scale. Each worker contributed to the greater good, and the workers were presided over by a boss

Animal Farm is a compelling and tenacious story of the corruption of a society. The smart took over the weak, and once docile animals became monsters. It truly showed how selfishness turned the pigs into the humans they once hated. The pigs' greed leads them to drive out decency and only have avariciousness left. Snowball was so wholesome and had much potential, but once he was gone Napoleon became a tyrant. Reading it felt like watching a society morph into a shadow of its former self. The main parts were the Rebellion, the beginning of Napoleons reign, and when the pigs became the monsters they once hated.

Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother depicts destitute pea pickers in California, centering on Florence Owens Thompson, age 32, a mother of seven children, in Nipomo, California, March 1936.

In this essay, my aims are to explain the definition of health, contrasted with a positive definition such as that provided by the ‘World Health Organisation ' (WHO) in 1974, with its positive and negative concept of health and the definition of disease and its connection to the social model. It will then be followed by the study of Mildred Blaxter (1990). I will also be explaining the definition of the ‘sick role ' which was introduced by Talcott Parson, with its positive and negative effects on the society. There will be an explanation of the doctor/patient relationship on the theory of the functionalist approach by a theorist called Barber (1963) and by also critically evaluating ways in which the medical profession exercises social control, plus the medical profession 's contribution to ill health and their strength and weaknesses. Finally, I will analyse the key issues relating to the political economy of the health industry.
