The 1910s and 1920s were two important decades consisting of many significant events from World War One to Canada gaining its independence. For my radio segments, I chose to talk about the Battle of Ypres and sinking of the Lusitania. Firstly, I chose to report about the second battle that occurred at Ypres, Belgium in 1915 because it was one of first times that Canadians fought Europeans and fought well no matter the circumstances. In the 1910s, people valued bravery immensely because it was a sign of masculinity and virility. Men used to sign up for the war solely to not feel left out or inferior in terms of fortitude. In the Battle of Ypres, Canadian troops counterattacked the Germans to close the gap created by the poison gas and the soldiers held the line long enough for…
Doménico Cieri Estrada once said, “Bring the past only if you are to going to build from it.” The 1920s and 1990s are largely spread apart, as are the cultural values of the people who grew up in that time period. The influences of growing up in different times can surely influence the way people act and respond to difficulties and debates outside of themselves. But the difference in time periods encourages growth and build upon each other, making similarities and differences easy to define. Technological advances in the 1920s and 1990s can be viewed as being similar by the useful inventions that were released that people continue to use in the present.…
America had two rebellious eras which was The Roaring Twenties and The Sixties but however there were distinguishable differences. The Roaring Twenties experience the change when people started to migrate from the rural to the cities. For instance, women begin to express themselves by dressing more revealing, drink publicly, smoke publicly, and are more sexually active. Not only that, during this time it was illegal to sell, consumer, or create alcoholic beverages but people however rebelled against the law to the point where the congress repealed prohibition with the 21 amendment. The Sixties however almost the same, except they went above and beyond when it comes to society norms. During this time, there was a dramatic growth of a counterculture…
Progressivism Between 1870 and 1920 a population shift occurred from rural to urban. Early immigrants and new immigrants differed greatly in many areas. Urbanization lead to changes in technology such as transportation, water power, steam power, and machinery.

The Jazz Age, the Age of Intolerance, The Age of Wonderful Nonsense was the era better known as the Roaring Twenties. This era pioneered the way to modern America. This decade followed the conclusion of World War I, “the war to end all wars”. The United States experienced a radical change socially, economically, politically and innovatively. The 1920’s would be an era where the identity of the United States would evolve and become a staple in modern society. “The most vivid impressions of that era are flappers and dance halls, movie palaces and radio empires and prohibition and speakeasies.” (Zeitz, n.d.)…

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…

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,…

Often called the Roaring Twenties, the postwar decade sometimes appears as one long flamboyant party, where the urban rich danced the Charleston and the foxtrot until 2 a.m. In fact, one might just as convincingly describe it as a period of individual possibility and lofty aspirations to serve the greater good.
