The document summarizes how America developed from a nation of producers to consumers over time. Natural resources and beliefs like equal opportunity and hard work led to material abundance in early America. As technologies like radio, television, and mass advertising emerged, Americans increasingly judged themselves by materialistic standards and became consumers focused on comfort, convenience, and new products. However, economic crises and issues like rising unemployment and debt have made Americans more pessimistic in recent years, though some positive trends toward environmentalism and less waste have emerged. The future impact on America's economic strength remains uncertain.

New Generational Definitions - Big Shifts Ahead
John Burns and Chris Porter redefine the generations by decade born, grouping people by age and life stage. Each generation born in the 1950s and later is 40 to 44 million in size, although the life experiences and foreign-born composition of each vary dramatically. These new generational definitions should make demographic shifts easier to understand and quantify.

Doom and Bloom: Why Small Gardens are the World's Next big Thing
The document discusses the growing global population and challenges of meeting increasing food demands with less resources like oil, water, and arable land. It argues that small, local food gardens can help address this issue by providing sustainable, healthy food production near populations while reconnecting people with their food sources. The organization KGI is working to promote kitchen gardening worldwide and empower communities to achieve greater food self-reliance through education and grant programs.

The Great Depression had devastating effects on the United States:
- Unemployment rose to 25% with 15 million Americans out of work.
- Over 10,000 banks failed, wiping out savings for millions of families.
- Farmers were especially hard hit by drought conditions that led to dust storms in the Midwest.
- Hoover's policies failed to turn the economy around, leading to Roosevelt being elected in 1932 on promises to provide a "New Deal" for Americans.
The Great Depression
The document discusses several key topics related to the Great Depression:
1. The agricultural crisis in the 1920s due to overproduction which drove down crop prices. This hurt many farmers.
2. President Hoover's response which emphasized individualism and temporary support, believing the economy would fix itself. This approach was seen as insensitive.
3. The stock market crash of 1929 and worsening economy, with unemployment rising to 25% by 1933 and thousands of bank closures.
4. FDR's election in 1932 on promises of a "New Deal" and bold experimentation to address the crisis.
1930 the great depression
This document provides an overview of the Great Depression including its causes, impact, and the responses from Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt. It discusses that the Depression was caused by declining farm prices, overproduction, stock market crash, and tightening of credit. This led to widespread unemployment, lower incomes, and many lost their farms. President Hoover was slow to respond while President Roosevelt introduced the New Deal programs to provide relief, recovery, and reform through initiatives like the CCC, FERA, AAA, and NRA. The Great Depression had major social and economic consequences but Roosevelt's policies are credited with ending the crisis.
The American Standard Of Living
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".
From Picket Fences to Picket Signs
The post-World War II era saw unprecedented economic prosperity in the United States as consumers eagerly purchased new products. Suburban tract housing developments sprang up to accommodate growing families, and television became the dominant form of entertainment and advertising. However, beneath the surface some questioned the conformity and materialism of the period. Critics attacked the emptiness of suburban life and the ignorance of social issues. By the late 1950s, a growing counterculture challenged mainstream values, presaging the turmoil of the 1960s.
Depression
The document provides an overview of life in the 1920s and the Great Depression. It discusses the post-war culture of the 1920s including flappers, music, and new technologies.

Omam background lesson_1
The document provides historical context about 1920s America and the Great Depression. During the 1920s, many Americans experienced economic prosperity due to consumer goods and manufacturing. However, over 50% earned less than $2000 annually and poverty was widespread. The stock market crash of 1929 triggered the Great Depression, resulting in mass unemployment. Droughts and falling crop prices devastated farmers, leading many to migrate to California in search of work on farms. However, few migrants found the opportunity they sought in California.
Great Depression Thesis
The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in modern history. It began after the 1929 stock market crash and led to widespread unemployment. The unemployment rate rose from 3% to 25% by 1932, leaving over 13 million Americans without jobs. Those still employed often earned very low wages, making it difficult for families to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. The Great Depression had devastating social and economic effects throughout the 1930s.

However, the prosperity of the era rested on an unstable economic foundation that eventually led to the Great Depression.
The Growth Of Industrialism
The document discusses the major effects of industrialization in the United States during the 19th century, including changes in work and living conditions, the rise of large industrial cities, and social impacts. Key points addressed are the growth of factories and machine use in place of manual labor, urbanization as people moved to cities for work, poor living and working conditions including long hours, child labor, and health/safety issues. Industrial leaders like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt amassed large fortunes leading companies in industries like oil, steel, and railroads.
Ch 11.1 & 11.2
The stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Stock prices dropped dramatically in October 1929 which weakened the nation's banks. As people lost confidence in the banks and tried to withdraw their money, many banks failed. By 1933, unemployment had risen to 25% as thousands of businesses closed and over 15 million Americans lost their jobs. Those who were unemployed and could not pay rent were forced into homeless encampments known as "Hoovervilles" and had to rely on charities for food and basic necessities. The situation was exacerbated by the Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s which caused many farmers to lose their farms and livelihoods.
The depression
The Great Depression began in 1929 when the stock market crashed, plunging the United States and other countries into economic crisis. Factors like overspending, debt, and falling agricultural prices contributed to the crash. During the 1930s, large numbers of people lived in poverty as unemployment rose to around 30% and many struggled to afford basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. The Depression had widespread effects globally, shattering dreams and causing hardship for millions through mass unemployment and poverty.
The Depression
The Great Depression began in 1929 when the stock market crashed, plunging the United States and other countries into economic crisis. As stock prices fell and banks closed, people panicked and stopped spending, causing businesses to cut jobs or close. Millions became unemployed with little access to food, clothing or shelter. By 1932, 14 million Americans were jobless as families struggled with poverty, starvation and loss of income and livelihoods in the hardest hit decade of the 1930s.
Industrial Revolution
The document summarizes key aspects of the Industrial Revolution:
1. The Industrial Revolution began the transition from manual labor and production done in people's homes (cottage industry) to mechanized factory production.
2. Agricultural advances increased food production and helped fuel population growth in Europe from 100 million to 190 million between 1700-1800.
3. Britain was the first to industrialize due to its natural resources like coal and iron, navigable rivers and ports for trade, stable government, and colonial empire providing raw materials.
4. New factories brought dramatic changes like standardized work schedules, child labor, dangerous conditions, and urbanization as people moved to cities for work.
