Americans enjoyed a high standard of living in the 1920s due to the country's wealth following World War I. With annual incomes rising over 35%, Americans had extra income to spend on new consumer goods which were widely available. Food was plentiful and cheap, and more people could afford to buy houses and cars. Entertainment such as movies, radio, and jazz flourished during this period known as the "Jazz Age".

Bacterial Growth Factors
Factors affecting microbial growth include pH, moisture, nutrient content, oxygen, and light. pH is important as most bacteria grow best near neutral pH, and even small pH changes can greatly impact growth rates. Moisture is essential and bacteria require more moisture than yeasts or molds. Nutrient content must provide elements like carbon, nitrogen, and minerals for growth. Oxygen requirements differ between obligate aerobes that need oxygen, facultative anaerobes that grow with or without oxygen, and obligate anaerobes that cannot tolerate oxygen. Light is only essential for photoautotrophs.
Growth of bacteria
The document discusses bacterial growth and reproduction. It covers:
1. When bacteria are inoculated into a suitable medium, exponential growth occurs as cells reproduce through binary fission. This leads to a dramatic increase in cell numbers over a short period of time.
2. There are four phases of bacterial growth in a growth curve: lag phase, log or exponential phase, stationary phase, and death phase. The log phase sees the most rapid reproduction as new cells outpace dying cells.
3. Methods to measure bacterial growth include plate counts, turbidity measurements, and direct microscopic counts. Plate counts provide a direct measure of viable cells but require incubation time.
Kingdom Protista
The document discusses the kingdoms of living organisms. It describes how protozoa are classified into 5 kingdoms today rather than the original 2 kingdoms of plants and animals. Specifically, it focuses on the kingdom Protista, defining protozoa as single-celled eukaryotic organisms. It provides details on the locomotion, nutrition, reproduction, and higher classification of various protozoan groups.
1920’s America
The document discusses the economic boom of 1920s America. It occurred due to long-term factors like abundant natural resources and a large internal market, as well as short-term factors like the US filling the void left by European industries during World War 1. Key features of the boom included new mass production techniques exemplified by Henry Ford's assembly lines. However, not all groups benefited equally from the prosperity - black Americans, farmers, wage earners and the unemployed struggled despite the overall economic growth.
1920s
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
AP European History 1920-1930
Technology had a significant impact on social life and culture in the 1920s and 1930s. Radio became widely popular, allowing people to receive news, entertainment and information faster in their homes. Medical advancements like penicillin and insulin improved health outcomes. Transportation innovations like Lindbergh's transatlantic flight expanded what was possible. Television and movies also helped spread ideas.
1920s transition america notes
After World War I, America saw many transitions as it moved from a rural, agricultural society to a more urban, industrial one. There was a shift from isolationism to internationalism, as well as a transition from a cash economy to one fueled by consumer credit. Socially and culturally, the country struggled with clashes between rural, traditional conservatives and urban, liberal reformers over issues like prohibition, women's changing roles, and new social norms. While some embraced modern flappers and new opportunities, others reacted by trying to preserve older values and restrict immigration and dissent. Overall, the postwar period was one of significant change and conflict as America adjusted to its new place in the world.

Roosevelt introduced the New Deal program to provide relief, economic recovery, and reforms to prevent another depression.
Chapter 22 section 4
The 1920s saw a period of widespread economic prosperity in the United States. New technologies and mass production techniques allowed goods to be produced more cheaply, enabling the middle class to purchase consumer items like cars, washing machines, and radios for the first time using installment plans where goods could be purchased on credit. This increased spending fueled a bull market on the stock exchange as more individuals invested, though many did so by buying on margin using loans, making them vulnerable. However, not all prospered as farmers struggled with overproduction and debt, and some workers faced layoffs as jobs were simplified by new assembly lines. This period of growth led to Herbert Hoover being elected president in 1928 on promises of continuing prosperity.

However, the prosperity of the 1920s masked some underlying weaknesses as farmers struggled and the stock market was fueled more by speculation than real growth. This false sense of endless prosperity set the stage for the market crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression.
Isolationims and Neutrality
This document discusses isolationism and neutrality in foreign policy. Isolationism refers to abstaining from political or economic relations with other countries, while neutrality means refraining from participation in wars between other states. The document explores reasons why countries may adopt isolationist or neutral stances, such as protecting their nation or avoiding international entanglements. However, it also argues that complete isolationism and neutrality are difficult or impossible to achieve in the modern world. The document then examines Ireland's policy of neutrality during World War II as a case study, discussing both advantages and limitations of this approach.

While the Jazz Age brought aspects of unity through shared experiences, it also highlighted ongoing social and racial divisions in American society.
The 1920s
The Treaty of Versailles formally ended World War 1 in 1919, establishing new borders and nations in Europe including Poland and Czechoslovakia. This upset Germany. In the 1920s, France occupied Germany's Ruhr Valley industrial region due to unpaid war reparations, causing hyperinflation.

The Roaring Twenties were defined by three key factors: 1) Political progression as the US transitioned from WWI and elected Warren G. Harding to return the country to normalcy. 2) Advancements in technology like movies and radio that changed lifestyles. 3) Cultural shifts as the flapper lifestyle emerged and women gained new freedoms. Coming out of war, the 1920s saw the US undergo economic growth and social liberalization, capturing the spirit of change and exuberance associated with the term "The Roaring Twenties."
Causes Of Great Depression
The document summarizes various causes that contributed to the Great Depression in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. It discusses factors such as unequal distribution of wealth, overproduction in industry and agriculture, high tariffs and war debts that affected Europe's economy, the stock market crash of 1929, and the actions of the Federal Reserve and President Hoover that exacerbated the economic downturn. It also outlines the timeline of key economic and political events during this period.
Day 6 Group B
The 1920s became known as the Roaring Twenties due to rising mass consumption in America and breakthroughs in the arts and entertainment industries. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's tax cuts for the rich and Henry Ford's advances in mass production made previously luxury goods more accessible to the middle class. New technologies like the radio and movies provided affordable entertainment. Jazz music and Art Deco became dominant as literary works from Hemingway and Fitzgerald reflected the cultural liberation of the time period. Overall, the economic conditions and developments in arts/entertainment helped define the decade as one of increased spending, innovation, and cultural changes.
FARMERS AND THOSE OUT OF THE BOOM
While many Americans prospered during the economic boom of the 1920s, farmers struggled with overproduction and declining prices. The combination of improved farming techniques, more land under cultivation, and a decreasing population led to more food being produced than could be sold. As a result, farm prices dropped by 50% in 1921 and hundreds of rural banks collapsed, causing financial hardship for many farmers. At the same time, workers in other industries like coal, textiles and leather faced unemployment as new technologies disrupted their sectors and foreign competition increased.

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".
Twenties
The 1920s was a decade of social, political, and economic change in the United States. After World War I and the Russian Revolution, there was a "Red Scare" where fear of communism led to attacks on radicals. The 1920 election saw a return to "normalcy" under Warren Harding. The decade saw rapid economic growth driven by new industries like automobiles, installment buying, and advertising. However, scandals plagued Harding's administration.

Why The Roaring 20s?
The Roaring 20’s
The document discusses the social, economic, and cultural changes that occurred in the United States during the 1920s. Specifically, it notes that the decade saw a boom in the American economy as consumerism grew with new household appliances, automobiles, and advertising becoming widespread. Lifestyles also became more modern and urban as women gained independence, jazz music rose in popularity, and Hollywood flourished. However, the prosperity of the era rested on an unstable economic foundation that eventually led to the Great Depression.
Cultural Influences Of The 1920S
The 1920s saw significant changes in women's fashion and lifestyles with the rise of the "flappers". Flappers, who were typically younger middle- or upper-class women, rejected Victorian styles and values by wearing shorter skirts, bobbed hair, and makeup. They embraced new freedoms like drinking, smoking, and dancing. This helped change the traditional role of women as homemakers by showing that women could be independent and make their own choices. Mass media like magazines also helped spread flapper styles nationwide, making new fashion trends accessible to more women and further transforming women's lives in the 1920s.

Vietnam War
The document discusses the causes and key events of the Vietnam War. It began as an effort by the US to contain the spread of communism through alliances and policies like the Domino Theory. This led to increasing American involvement and escalation over decades. Major events included the division of Vietnam in 1954, the Tet Offensive of 1968, and the Fall of Saigon in 1975, which ended with a communist victory.
The Cold War
The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to 1991. Though they never directly fought each other, there was a constant rivalry as each country sought to spread their opposing economic and political ideologies across the world. This included the US aiming to contain the spread of communism and rebuild democratic allies through programs like the Marshall Plan, while the Soviets wanted to promote communism and control Eastern European governments as a buffer against Western influence. Their conflicting goals led to an arms race, proxy wars, and the division of Europe and Germany between capitalist and communist spheres of influence marked by the Iron Curtain.
McCarthyism
During the McCarthy Era of the 1950s in America, Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited fears about communism for political gain. He claimed to have a list of government employees who were communists and launched accusations with little evidence. McCarthyism led to widespread paranoia where Americans were denounced as communist sympathizers. It influenced society through restrictions on education, censorship of media, and promotion of pro-American ideals. McCarthy's accusations eventually lost credibility and he was censured after televised hearings showed his bullying behavior, marking the end of the McCarthy Era.
US Enters The War (WWII)
This document provides background information on the political and economic isolationism policies of the United States in the 1920s-1930s and the events leading up to its entry into World War II in 1941. It discusses the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s, FDR's 1937 quarantine speech, and the Cash and Carry policy of 1939 which allowed allies to purchase arms. It also covers increased defense spending in 1940, the Lend-Lease plan to aid allies in 1941, and the Pearl Harbor attack which led to the US declaring war on the Allied side against the Axis powers.
Japanese Internment
During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and detained in internment camps across the United States. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which led to Japanese Americans being evacuated from their homes and detained without due process. Ten internment camps were established in remote locations, including Manzanar in California, where families were housed in overcrowded barracks surrounded by barbed wire fences under armed guard. Life in the camps was difficult, as internees lived in poor conditions with little privacy or amenities while struggling with inadequate medical care and racism.
WWI
The document discusses key details about World War 1, including when it took place from 1914-1918, the countries involved, and the long and short term causes. It also discusses America's initial isolationism, what eventually convinced the US to join the war in 1917, including German submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Telegram. The US then helped supply the Allies with troops, money and resources to aid their efforts and turn the tide of the war. The war had social impacts on the US such as more women working and African Americans migrating north.
Reconstruction and it Effects
Political reconstruction led to a power struggle between Congress and the President over readmitting southern states to the union and granting citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. The 14th and 15th Amendments aimed to define citizenship and prohibit racial discrimination in voting. Economically, the South was devastated by the war and faced problems rebuilding industry, infrastructure, and agriculture without slave labor. Socially, the Freedman's Bureau and civil rights acts aimed to help former slaves through education, healthcare, and equal protection under the law, though racial tensions remained high.
Revolution in England
The document summarizes the revolution in England that established parliamentary rule over absolute monarchy. It began when King John faced a rebellion from nobles in 1215, forcing him to agree to the Magna Carta which established basic legal rights and limited royal power. This led to the development of institutions like common law, due process, habeas corpus and an increasingly powerful Parliament that sought to restrict monarchs' authority. This conflict continued until the Glorious Revolution of 1688 established England as a constitutional monarchy with Parliament drafting the Bill of Rights to define the powers of monarch and parliament. A cabinet system developed where government ministers answered to Parliament rather than the monarch, establishing the prime minister as head of the ruling party.
Reasons/Results of the Civil War
The document summarizes some of the key political, economic, and social reasons for the outbreak of the Civil War. The North supported a strong central government and the abolition of slavery, while the South believed in states' rights and the right to own slaves. Economically, the North was becoming more industrialized while the South relied on slave labor for its agricultural economy. These deep divisions and fears over the issues of slavery and states' rights ultimately led the South to secede from the Union and the North to refuse, resulting in the Civil War.
Iraq War
The document discusses the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It outlines the key parties involved in each conflict such as Saddam Hussein, the US government, and terrorist groups. It also provides timelines for when each conflict began and lists reasons for American involvement such as responding to terrorist attacks and spreading democracy. Finally, it notes some results of the conflicts like rising death tolls and immense financial costs for the US.
Ptolemy, Copernicus, and the Church
The document discusses the transition from the geocentric model of the universe proposed by Ptolemy and Aristotle, in which Earth is the center, to the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, in which the Sun is the center. It also provides context about the Scientific Revolution that began in Europe in the late 1500s and early 1600s, when scientists began systematically testing theories through experiments and observation rather than relying on traditional explanations. Some of the key figures who helped establish the modern scientific method are mentioned, including Galileo, Vesalius, Harvey, Boyle, Bacon, and Descartes.

Urbanization
As more immigrants arrived in American cities in the late 19th century, urban populations skyrocketed. This posed major challenges for city governments, including providing adequate housing, transportation, water, sanitation, crime prevention, and fire protection for the growing populations. Common problems included overcrowded tenement housing, lack of indoor plumbing and clean water, piles of horse manure in the streets, increased crime rates, and destructive fires due to buildings being close together and made of wood. Cities struggled to establish effective police, fire, and sanitation services to address the problems that arose from rapid urban growth and industrialization.
Chinese exclusion Act
- Early Chinese immigration to the US in the 1800s was spurred by instability in China and the California Gold Rush, with over 20,000 Chinese immigrants arriving by 1852 to work in the gold fields.
- However, Chinese miners faced resentment and violence from white miners who saw them as competition. Laws were passed targeting Chinese immigrants and many left the gold fields for San Francisco's Chinatown.
- In the 1860s, Chinese laborers were recruited to build the Transcontinental Railroad, facing dangerous work and racism, though they were integral to its completion in 1869. Anti-Chinese violence increased in the 1870s as the economy declined.
Timeline of Democracy
The document provides information about democracy and society in ancient Greece, the Middle Ages/Medieval Times, and modern times. It then discusses several aspects of medieval European society including feudalism, the power and influence of the Catholic Church, chivalry, manors, farming, trade, towns, government, education, and the bubonic plague.
American Ideals
The document summarizes examples of groups excluded from American ideals in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It discusses the oppression of dissenters by the Puritan church in New England. It also outlines the mistreatment of Native Americans, including taking their land through broken treaties and armed violence. Finally, it describes how African Americans were treated as property and not people under the system of slavery, which separated families and denied basic rights.
Philosophies of the Constitution
The document discusses six philosophies found in the Constitution: republican government, limited government, individual rights, popular sovereignty, separation of powers/checks and balances, and federalism. It also explains that the Bill of Rights was added to formally protect citizens' rights and freedoms, as some feared the new US government might not respect individual liberties or states' rights without explicit protections.
The American Colonies
The document summarizes the early colonial history of America. It discusses the various European powers that established colonies, including the English, French, Dutch, Swedes, and Spanish. It then focuses on the Puritan settlers in New England and their religious motivations for establishing the Massachusetts Bay colony. Finally, it explores the political ties that the colonies maintained to Britain as part of the British Empire, which eventually led to tensions and the American Revolution.
Maps, Maps, Maps
The document discusses different types of maps and their purposes:
- Climate maps show climate and precipitation zones using colors.
- Economic/resource maps use symbols to indicate natural resources and economic activities in different areas.
- Physical maps illustrate terrain features like mountains and rivers using colors to denote elevations.
- Political maps show boundaries and label cities and capitals.
- Road maps provide driving directions and label roads and points of interest.
- Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevations.
- Latitude and longitude help locate places on a map; the document asks the reader to name cities given coordinates.
Communism In China
By the end of WWII, the Chinese Communists had gained control of Northern China and were fighting a civil war against the Nationalists led by Jiang Jieshi. Mao Zedong's Communist forces swept to victory, establishing the People's Republic of China. The Nationalists fled to Taiwan under Jiang. The Communists won due to support from peasants unhappy with landlords and taxes, growing discontent with the Nationalists' economic policies and corruption, and control of the countryside allowing them to cut off and capture Nationalist cities. After this victory, the Communists conquered Tibet in 1950.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
