A New Era For Women As you have seen things have been changing for the better since the war, and one massive change that everyone has noticed is women nowadays. Traditionalists tend to believe is that as the “fairer sex�, females are expected to uphold the morals and manners of society. Now some of the once held back and overly modest girls are turning into independent, modern women.

One difference that you have definitely seen is fashion. They are ditching prewer skirts and ankle-low hemlines, and are now wearing short skirts that show thigh. Ladies are also wearing heels, leaving laced up boots behind. Last but not least hair has gone from long and elegant and transformed into short bob cuts. There is nothing stopping women when it comes to fashion. Fashion is not the only shift in modernism. They are finally getting their own rights. Everyone Knows that women are now allowed to vote. Ladies are now getting to make their own choices since the war. Women are also getting jobs so they can take part in providing for their families instead of being a housewife. Times have definitely changed.

And finally their habits, girls have started wearing makeup, and lots of it. You see them in speakeasies more often, along with drinking, dancing, and overall having a good time. Smoking has also become a symbol of modernism for women. Ladies are becoming strong, independent, and assertive. Please encourage the women in your life to speak up and not let people control them. We are experiencing a new era, we might as well embrace it.

Better Life, Job’s, Economy...

Since we have move into the 1920’s maybe you are starting to see many people come into cities and it keeps growing and growing, what is the reason they want to come here, why? Here are the reasons why people are starting to come into cities (urban) than living in rural. Many people notice that the cities has a great economic opportunities, and it is really good for job’s and people wanting to live. Lot’s of job’s have been opening lately so many people come to cities to get a job and live their life. Job’s supported highly educated to the people who wanted a job but don't have great knowledge about the job. The wages of living and jobs has rose up as well by 37% and the consumer price index has remain steady as well making standard living improve Great advantages for cities can make people have a greater and easier life in cities than rural areas (farms): Living is everywhere in the cities and there are affordable like houses, hotels, apartments. Many other building are also there like movie theaters, bars, dances, offices (for work) museums, and many more building and the economy is growing because of the buildings as well. Millionaires has been helping the cities by building new classrooms inside of schools, universities, colleges in cities across the country and also help the rural areas too.

Statistics shows that people are living in cities (urban) more than rural and the Census (An official count/ survey of the population, recording details.) record that first for the time ever in the nation, the majority of population, 51% was living in urban than rural. Factories and offices were hubs for the economic growth. Demand for workers increased, providing many job’s opening. People from RURAL decided to come to cities because of what they heard about the economy booming and economic opportunities .

In conclusion, the cities are actually really good and providing many support, many job’s, better wagers, lots of building, economic opportunities, more people are living in urban than rural and the cities is making life easier but the only bad thing is they’re so many people in the cities, it can get a bit out of hand sometimes.

Behind the seen in The Scope Trial

Should evolution or creationism be

taught in American School?. The

Scope Trial‌

Evolution vs Traditionalism Should people follow the Traditional, ways to do things?Traditionalism is the way that we used to you live since we were little. The idea of God created everything in one week supported by the Bible is says the same thing. Also people can't just accept the idea of science because it seems scary to them and it is something against what their religion says and church. The theory of evolution developed by British scientist Charles Darwin. His theory says that humans start as microorganism up to being a human. In addition the Natural selection says the strongest and the most capable will survive in the environment which is basically what we prefer when we are selecting a mate it is a chemical reaction.

Have you ever asked yourself how the public acts with the person who believes in evolution? John Scope was imprisoned for teaching the theory of evolution to his high school classes in the local school, which is making the public mad because it makes people think it will change the thoughts or beliefs of their kids. Kids can accept new ideas faster and easier than adults and teaching them the theory of evolution in adults eyes is a big problem and danger because they don't want their kids to go against the Bible . In addition, people only believe what the Bible says, and it says God created the world and people which is different than what scientific fact or the theory of evolution says. In the evolution theory developed by British scientist, Charles Darwin ,he believed that humans had evolved over the course of million years from lower animals , including monkeys.

Creationism For most of the people they way grow up and they way they saw their parents doing things is which going to be the way they are doing things. For example If your parents were so religious and they believe in bible and the curush they wouldn't believe the theory of evolution. Which is basically a normal thing to do because some people don't like to change but believing in sciencetific facts will make us understand what is going on around us better.

People should have the freedom of picking what they want to believe in and what they want to do, we don't have to believe in the same thing. In the end what we believe and what we do not is something up to the person and no one has the right to change that. That is why the theory of evolution should taught in schools.

From time to time Is changing good for the country? Or people should be following the traditional ways?. After WWI a lot of things got change start from the women right to Evolution to Youth problems and immigrations. First: Women's New Roles. One of these big changing is ( Women) as the fair sex there expected to uphold the morals and manners of society. But now some of the once held back and overly modest girls are turning into independent modern women. In addition people have begin to see differences in their fashion, rights , and habits. Second: Evolution vs creationism Also one of the changing was the look and the people thoughts for scientific facts. A lot of people didn't believe in science in the first places and they thought it is a bad thing to believe in. But after the war a lot of people start thinking science is not that bad as it seem to be. In the end science became of the reason for all successful thing in the 1920s. Third: Youth problems Youth people seemed to be crazy and reckless in adults eyes. Which it seemed to be true because after the war the youth people became more open minded and start doing a unexceptable things like drinking to much, having a relationships with girls, girls showing a lot of skin by wearing short things. But in the same time giving them opportunity to do things can cause a change to people life for example youth people start to having jobs and responsibility which probably will change their idea of being crazy. Last thing: Immigrations/ people coming to cities. Immigrations is one of the reason that US cities grow. Since people start coming to US and having jobs that helped the cities to grow for examples building a new buildings , having more stores to buy things, building new schools for education. In additions people coming to cities was a big goals after the war. In the end having different people from different places was a good idea during the 1920s.
