The 1920s saw a period of economic prosperity in the United States following World War 1. The development of new industries like automobiles, radio, motion pictures, and electricity created many new jobs and opportunities which drove economic growth. Henry Ford's assembly line techniques made cars more affordable and accessible to the masses. Laissez-faire economic policies under Republican presidents promoted business growth with little government interference. However, social changes were also significant as women gained the right to vote and flappers rebelled against traditional gender norms.

Chapter 13
This chapter discusses the expansion of American industry between 1850-1900. It describes the technological revolution during this period brought on by inventions like the light bulb, telephone, and internal combustion engine. It also discusses the growth of big businesses like railroads and steel production and conflicts that arose between large corporations and workers. The chapter is divided into sections on technological changes, growth of big businesses, industrialization's impact on workers, and major strikes that occurred.
Economics in the 1920’s apush jasmine Period 3
This document provides background information on Henry Ford and the economic environment of the 1920s in the United States. It describes Ford's early life and experiments with engines that led to the founding of the Ford Motor Company. It then discusses the agricultural problem of overproduction during this period and the resulting labor unrest. New farming technologies increased yields but demand did not rise accordingly, putting many farmers into debt. The document also outlines the growth of mass production techniques using assembly lines in factories and how this improved productivity but also led to issues of overproduction and unemployment.
Economics in the 1920s (1) Period 5
Henry Ford's introduction of the Model T and assembly line production methods in the early 1920s drove mass production and consumerism in the US. This led to economic growth and rising wages but also created disparities, as farmers struggled with overproduction and falling prices while unemployment remained high. New technologies continued to disrupt jobs even as industries like autos and related sectors boomed through standardized and efficient manufacturing processes. However, not all Americans shared in the prosperity of consumer goods and rising stock prices, as racial minorities and farmers faced difficult conditions through much of the decade.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, America transformed into an industrialized nation dominated by big businesses as the economy shifted from small, personal operations to large corporations. Companies integrated vertically by combining mass production with distribution and horizontally by merging into larger conglomerates. Big businesses arose through separating ownership from day-to-day management and establishing centralized administrative offices to oversee increasingly large and complex industrial operations. In contrast, big business developed more slowly in Great Britain, placing it at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy of the 20th century.
The 1920s Economy
The 1920s US economy saw high tariffs that boosted domestic industry but hurt farmers and trade, while tax cuts primarily benefited the wealthy. Regulations were reduced and businesses fixed prices. New technologies like the automobile and mass production grew industries and employment. However, easy credit, real estate speculation, and rampant stock market speculation built instability and left many in debt.
Ush ch. 24 section 1 notes
The document discusses how technological changes and globalization transformed the American economy in the late 20th century. It describes how the development of computers and new technologies like satellites and the internet revolutionized communication, business, and daily life. As a result, many jobs shifted to the service sector, multinational corporations emerged, and the global economy became more interconnected. Overall, technology and globalization brought both new opportunities and challenges to the U.S. economy and society.
Progressives and the twenties Day
1) Progressive reform lost momentum in the 1920s with respect to regulation of business as the federal government adopted a laissez-faire approach and removed itself from regulating the economy, leading to rampant speculation and ultimately the stock market crash and Great Depression.
2) Labor reform also declined as the diversity of immigrant workers made unity difficult due to language and cultural barriers, and private labor organizations were not encouraged.
3) Social welfare for immigrants decreased as well, as the U.S. adopted an isolationist stance in the 1920s and passed laws that significantly reduced immigration and created an unhospitable environment for foreigners.
Unit 2 - The 1920s
During the 1920s, new technologies and cultural changes emerged. Mass culture united Americans through popular entertainment like silent films starring Charlie Chaplin. Jazz music also developed and came to represent the era. Meanwhile, the Harlem Renaissance saw African American writers and artists explore themes of black identity, led by figures like Langston Hughes. However, social tensions remained over issues like religion, education, immigration, and Prohibition, which empowered organized crime.

Globalization i adv1
This document discusses the history of globalization in three waves from 1860 to the present. It outlines key drivers and developments in each wave such as advances in transportation and technology, as well as political and economic changes. The first wave from 1860-1914 saw increased global trade and movement of people and capital due to new steam technologies. The second wave from 1944-1971 established international organizations like the IMF and GATT to support economic integration after World War 2. The third wave from 1989 onwards has been driven most significantly by advances in internet and telecommunications, allowing large-scale global commerce and foreign investment. The document also examines why businesses expand globally to access new markets, cut costs, and spread risk. International advertising agencies have played a complementary
Urbanization
During the late 19th century, the United States underwent rapid urbanization and industrialization. Millions of immigrants poured into American cities, and populations skyrocketed. New building technologies allowed for the construction of skyscrapers in major urban areas. At the same time, social problems emerged as many immigrants lived in poor conditions. New business practices like vertical and horizontal integration led to the rise of monopolies that dominated industries. While economic growth was substantial, the Gilded Age also saw the development of class divisions and inequality.
Ap chapter 24 the new era
The 1920s in America, also known as the "Roaring Twenties", was a time of significant social and cultural change as the country transitioned from a rural to urban society. Traditional values were clashing with new, modern ideals as society embraced freer lifestyles and individualism. The period saw rapid economic growth and mass consumption. However, it was also an era of social tensions around issues like immigration, racial inequality, women's roles, and cultural divides between rural and urban populations.
Boll Weevil and Drought
The document summarizes several economic factors that contributed to the Great Depression in the United States, including: stock market speculation and crashing prices; overproduction of industrial and agricultural goods; high tariffs that reduced international trade; drought and the boll weevil plague that depressed agricultural production in the South; and a general attitude of excessive borrowing, spending, and risk-taking without concern for the future known as "laissez-faire". When the stock market crashed in 1929, it exposed existing economic weaknesses and plunged the country into a decade-long depression.
Intro to Bus 110 MW - Chap002
The document discusses several key concepts in economics including:
1. The major branches of economics are macroeconomics, which focuses on the overall economy, and microeconomics, which focuses on individual markets.
2. Thomas Malthus believed population growth would outpace food production, but others see a large population as an economic resource when educated.
3. Adam Smith is considered the father of modern economics and developed the concept of the invisible hand, where individual self-interest can benefit society.
End of the New Deal
The document provides an overview of the New Deal programs implemented during FDR's presidency from 1933-1939 to address the Great Depression. It discusses relief programs that put billions into the pockets of poor Americans and put people back to work. While unemployment dropped from 13 million to 9 million from 1933-1936, the economy experienced a downturn in 1937, with unemployment rising again to 10 million by 1939. The New Deal faced criticisms from big business and those who thought it didn't go far enough. It had mixed impacts, providing some benefits to workers, labor unions, and the unemployed, but did not adequately help women, minorities, farmworkers, or the poor.

Globalization
This document discusses several aspects of globalization including its history, effects, advantages, and challenges. It provides definitions of key terms like international business and trade. Several companies and industries are used as examples to illustrate concepts around globalization like Coca-Cola's global operations and the telecommunications industry going global. Both benefits and criticisms of globalization are outlined around topics such as the environment, large corporations, and its social impacts.
Globalization And A Changing World[1]
Globalization refers to the increasing economic integration and interdependence of nations through trade. As globalization has increased, countries specialize in producing goods they have a comparative advantage in and trade for other goods. Examples include the US importing fruit from Chile and companies like Nike manufacturing shoes in other countries to reduce costs. While globalization allows for lower prices and economic growth, it has also led to issues like outsourcing jobs abroad and unequal conditions for workers in some factories and industries. Views on globalization range from those who see its benefits as inevitable to those concerned it has negative social impacts if not properly managed.
Riot Britain
The 2011 London riots began as a protest over the police shooting of Mark Duggan but escalated into wider unrest and criminal behavior across several days. Over 3000 people were arrested for their involvement in the riots, which caused an estimated £200 million in damage. The riots were carried out predominantly by young men and women and were characterized by looting, arson, and violence against property and individuals. The causes of the riots are widely debated but suggested factors include discontent over government cuts, lack of opportunities and respect for youth, opportunism, and gang involvement.

Industrial - Progressive USA
During the period from 1877-1920, the United States experienced rapid industrialization and urbanization. Many Americans moved to cities where factories provided jobs, though workers often lived in poor conditions. New technologies like the assembly line boosted industrial output but also led to concerns about labor conditions. As cities grew, they faced issues with housing, infrastructure, and political corruption. In response, reform movements gained momentum through muckraking journalism and efforts to empower workers through organized labor and unions.

The document provides an overview of the causes and impact of the Great Depression, as well as reforms implemented in response. It discusses how the stock market crash of 1929 led to a banking panic and monetary contraction as people withdrew money from banks. This caused a reduction in consumer spending and a vicious cycle of unemployment. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff and adherence to the gold standard exacerbated the situation. The Depression had severe effects on industry, workers, and families. Unemployment rose to 25% and people lost homes and jobs. In response, President Roosevelt was elected and implemented a "New Deal" including programs to fix banks, provide unemployment and recovery plans, and prevent future crises through new agencies and regulations.
History revision paper 2
The New Deal aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform during the Great Depression through numerous government programs known as the "alphabet agencies." These agencies included the CCC, WPA, AAA, TVA, and NRA, and aimed to create jobs, boost industry, and reform the financial system. However, the New Deal faced criticism from both the right and left, with some arguing it did not do enough to help certain groups or the economy, while others felt it went too far in expanding the government's role.
The jazzage
The Jazz Age of the 1920s saw major cultural and social changes in American society. Young people embraced new styles of dress, music, and greater personal freedom than previous generations. At the same time, religious fundamentalism opposed these changes and sought to preserve traditional values. Economically, lower taxes and new industries like automobiles spurred widespread prosperity, though some groups faced exclusion and hardship. Mass production using assembly lines boosted supplies and reduced costs of goods, fueling a new consumer society.

The document discusses key social, economic, and political changes in the United States during the 1920s. Politically, Republican presidents like Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover held office. Economically, new industries like automobiles and electricity grew due to mass production techniques. However, not all groups prospered as farmers, Native Americans, and African Americans faced hardships. Socially, prohibition caused rise of organized crime while the lives of women expanded with women's suffrage. New technologies and a consumer culture also emerged during the "Roaring 20s".
APUSH 1920s quiz game
During the 1920s in the US, politics were dominated by the presidencies of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Harding's administration was tainted by scandal, while Coolidge pursued policies of deregulation and tax cuts. Society became more urbanized and consumerist. New technologies like the radio and movies popularized culture on a national scale. However, social changes encountered resistance from those clinging to traditional values, exemplified by the Scopes Trial. The period also saw tensions over immigration, nativism, and racial issues. Disillusioned writers like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Lewis critiqued and commented on this changing era.
Chapter 21: Politics and Prosperity
The document provides an overview of key events and developments in the United States during the 1920s. It discusses the Red Scare following WWI and fears of communism. Labor strikes in 1919 are mentioned. Republican presidents Harding and Coolidge pursued pro-business policies and isolationism in foreign policy. The 1920s saw rapid economic growth fueled by a consumer economy, mass production techniques like the assembly line, and the rise of the automobile industry. However, some groups like farmers and laborers did not share equally in prosperity. The stock market boom raised confidence but also signs of potential danger in an unstable economy emerged as the decade ended.
Staar 07 the roaring twenties
After World War I, Americans faced difficulties adjusting to peace such as a recession, job losses, and isolationism. In the 1920s, Republican presidents pursued laissez-faire economic policies and limited government interference in business. The Roaring 20s were driven by new industries like automobiles, mass production techniques, mass consumption fueled by advertising, and stock market speculation. Cultural values changed as Prohibition took effect, fundamentalism clashed with modernism, and women and African Americans gained new freedoms and opportunities for self-expression.
1920's section 1 republican presidents
The document discusses the economic boom of the 1920s in the United States under Republican administrations. Republican presidents like Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover pursued policies of deregulation and non-intervention that spurred rapid business growth. A consumer economy emerged as Americans purchased new household goods and automobiles in increasing numbers, often on installment plans and credit. However, this period of prosperity was built on unstable economic foundations that would contribute to the stock market crash and Great Depression of 1929.
The New Deal
The New Deal was President Franklin Roosevelt's response to the Great Depression in the 1930s. It established numerous programs and agencies to provide relief, reform the financial system, and stimulate economic recovery. Some of the major programs included the FDIC to protect bank deposits, the SEC to regulate Wall Street, and the WPA and CCC to provide jobs for unemployed Americans through public works projects and conservation efforts. While not all of its policies ended the Depression, the New Deal restored hope by taking bold action and establishing the foundation of the modern American welfare state.
Us History Ch.8
The document provides an overview of several key events and developments during the 1920s in the United States. It discusses the scandals that plagued Harding's administration, including Teapot Dome, and how Coolidge sought to restore integrity after becoming president. It also summarizes the rise of new industries like automobiles and airlines, the consumer society fueled by mass advertising and easy credit, and Republican economic policies like tax cuts championed by Andrew Mellon that focused on supply-side economics.
Chapter 22: The Crash and Depression
The document summarizes Chapter 22 which discusses the Great Depression from 1929-1933. It provides background on the stock market crash of 1929, how it led to widespread economic issues. As unemployment rose and banks began to fail, poverty spread significantly. Americans struggled to survive through hard times. The 1932 election was a turning point as FDR promised a "New Deal" with a larger federal role, defeating Hoover who believed the government should not intervene in the economy.
USA Depth Study 1
- The documents discuss the economic boom of the 1920s in the United States. Several presidents and business leaders at the time believed the US had entered a new economic era of prosperity led by new industries and methods of scientific management and mass production.
- The economy saw dramatic growth in industries like autos, appliances, and consumer goods due to assembly lines and high productivity. However, poverty and unemployment remained issues as economic growth was uneven and benefited some more than others.
- The period saw stock market speculation and rising consumer debt levels that could not be sustained in the long run. By the late 1920s, some signs pointed to weaknesses in the continued boom.

Unit 3, Lecture 1 - The 1920s. Covers the Harding and Coolidge presidencies, as well as the social and economic changes of the decade. Ends before the Crash.
Ch11 rg 3 web
During the 1920s, new mass production techniques enabled American workers to produce more goods in less time, fueling economic boom. Henry Ford's innovations in automobile assembly greatly increased production speeds and lowered costs, making cars affordable for many Americans and stimulating industries like steel and road construction. However, the economic prosperity of the decade was unevenly distributed, as farmers struggled with falling crop prices and debt.
Week four 1920s
1) The 1920s saw rapid economic growth in the US fueled by new manufacturing techniques like the assembly line and mass production pioneered by Henry Ford for automobile production.
2) This led to a consumer boom as products became more affordable, but the benefits were not evenly distributed, with rural areas and farmers facing difficulties.
3) Presidents Harding and Coolidge pursued pro-business policies and cut taxes and regulations to sustain growth, but several scandals erupted under Harding, while not all Americans shared in the prosperity of the era.
History revision paper 2
The Great Depression began after the stock market crash of 1929 and devastated the US economy. Unemployment rose sharply as industrial production and GDP declined substantially. In response, President Roosevelt introduced his New Deal programs in the 1930s, which aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform. This included the establishment of numerous alphabet agencies to stimulate the economy through public works projects, regulate banking and Wall Street, and provide welfare. However, the Supreme Court opposed some agencies as unconstitutional attempts to extend federal power.
Paper 1 master answer sample for 2015
Farming conditions worsened in the mid-1930s in the USA due to years of over-farming and poor conservation practices that blew and washed away topsoil, causing hundreds of thousands to leave their farms and become migrant workers. The government established more permanent camps in 1937 to help house these displaced farmers.
Stock market crash
The document summarizes the causes and effects of the Stock Market Crash of 1929 that led to the Great Depression. It describes how rampant speculation in the roaring 1920s led to an unsustainable bubble. The crash was directly triggered when plans for the Smoot-Hawley Tariff act faced limitations, causing a panic on Black Thursday in October 1929 and a collapse of stock prices over the next few years. The crash had devastating economic effects worldwide and led to FDR's New Deal programs to stimulate recovery.
Turn of the Century Scavenger Hunt
1. The document provides directions for a scavenger hunt activity involving questions about topics from early 20th century American history, such as technology, mass production, immigration, labor, and politics.
2. The questions cover inventions like the internal combustion engine, the rise of mass production and assembly lines, immigration patterns and the resulting social attitudes, labor issues faced by immigrants and the growth of unions, and political machines in cities.
3. Upon completing the various history-related questions in the scavenger hunt, students were instructed to email their instructor to receive points for the completed activity.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

- 2. California Standards 11.5 Students analyze the major political, social, economic, technological, and cultural developments of the 1920s.
- 3. Post WWI, Americans were extremely to make and spend money! Time to Ponder: Why do you think the 1920s were so “Prosperous”? Definition of Prosperous: “marked by success or economic well-being”
- 4. Reason #1 - Impact of Automobiles! Henry Ford - installs/creates the first ever assembly line! Assembly lines allowed for individual parts to be made faster and less costly. These assembly lines gave individuals more jobs! 1. Reduced the car production from 12 hours to 1 hour and 33 minutes! WOW!!!!!!! Cars are not just for the wealthy - It is for everyone!!!! YAY!!! More cars created = economy rises!
- 5. Reason #2 - Rise of New Industries! The development of new industries allowed for great effect to society! - New industries opened job opportunities for everyone! 1. Car Industry 2. Radio/Motion Picture Industry 3. Electric Industry 4. Music Industry Why do these industries raise economic prosperity? New industries = More jobs = More money being spent = ECONOMIC BOOM!!!
- 6. GNP Per Capita - 1920s Note: GNP Per Capita = “the total value of all the goods and services produced by a country in a year including income from foreign investments, divided by the number of people living there.”
- 8. Now You Try! 1. Why was the economy booming in the 1920s! 2. What industry do you believe was the most influential?
- 9. The Age of Change; the 1920s! The 1920s presented three major changes… 1. Social Changes 2. Economic Changes 3. Political Changes
- 10. Social Changes 1. 18th Amendment (1919) - a. Made the sale and consumption of alcohol illegal! i. Why Alcohol? 1. Individuals believed that high crime rates were due to the consumption of alcohol 2. People believed that alcohol was “evil” b. Prohibition was extremely hard to enforce! i. Individuals began creating billion dollar companies that smuggled alcohol - These companies were called bootleggers! c. Eventually, the 18th Amendment was undo by the 21st Amendment; which made alcohol legal again!
- 11. Social Changes Cont. 2. The Lives of Woman ● The 19th Amendment (1920) - This amendment gave women the right to vote! ○ As women's were allowed to vote, many joined the workforce! ■ However, most faced low wages and wage discrimiation. Females were being paid less than males doing the same type of work. ● Rebellious and Independent Women = Flappers ○ What were Flappers? ■ Flappers were the new age of “woman” - They were modern rebellious females that went against society’s norms for females! ● Wore short skirts, had short haircuts, drank alcohol, and most importantly, fought for the disparity of male and female.
- 12. Economic Changes ● Republican presidents are pro-business! ○ Presidents supported all types of business, in which allowed the economy to boom! ■ Mass production was supported by the Presidents; therefore, received national funding to create more and more. ● Republican presidents supported the policy of “laissez faire economics” ○ What is Laissez Faire? ■ Government policy that allowed businesses to make their own decision without government interference. ● This gave businesses their autonomy!
- 13. Political Changes President Warren Harding (1920-1923) ● His policy, “Return to Normalcy” - His campaign promised to get America back to normal through the policy of less government intervention in business and foreign affairs. ○ “Less government in business and more business in government ■ Cut the budget and lower the taxes on the wealthy; therefore, the wealthy could start more businesses.
- 14. Political Changes Cont. President Herbert Hoover ● Republican president that supported the idea of Laissez-faire government ○ The less interference of government in private business - allows the self-autonomy of the business to make their own decisions. ● Wanted people to help themselves.
- 16. Final Questions In your own words, arguably, which policy created for the much change? Social, Political, Economic? Explain!
