Mass Production was and still is very important to economies and really helped out America during this time.

Garrett Lenski

Due to Henry Ford's invention of the assembly line in the 20's mass production at lower prices is still possible today for a lot of items such as cars.

Karen

Good comment! The assembly line helped shape new technology. Cars were easier to build and the company benefited from the advancement in production and economy.

Samantha Oddo

This is very true!

Abby

Model T cars were able to be produced at 1/10 the time of other cars at the time due to the assembly line.

Malik Jackson

1/8/2014 06:35:02 pm

Mass Production and the assembly line allowed faster production of the line and ready for the market. Many people were able to buy the expensive goods (cars) at the same time if they wanted.

Diante Cross

This is very true. It helped the production

Yeah mass production helped better business which helped stimulate the economy :)

Anthony

Henry Ford revolutionized the way companies mass produce today by mastering the manufacturing line.

Antonio

1/8/2014 06:30:04 pm

Henry Ford really increased productions and was innovative by doing so when he decreased hours and increased pay.

Garrett Lenski

1/8/2014 06:37:20 pm

Fun fact about Henry Ford (since we just studying WWI), Henry Ford tried to build airplanes to sell to the US Military and is recognized as a pioneer of aviation!

Al copone had many connections with many people including cops to keep him out of jail

Anthony

Al Capone was not all a bad guy, he actually donated money (which he obtained through illegal activities) to charities, and was known as a "Modern Day Robin Hood."

Deshon

1/14/2014 03:31:33 pm

Al Capone even the was an O.G he helped the community more than he hurt it

Samantha O

1/14/2014 03:34:57 pm

I agree. I think he was a good guy but he got caught up in the wrong people.

Diante Cross

1/8/2014 06:36:52 pm

I learned that during this period American culture and economy boomed. The economy boomed with the new Model T. Ford and people flocking to cities. Modern art was trending which was about the mood artist felt about the world after World War I. One of the biggest movements was the Harlem Renaissance where musical and dancing arts grew into a new popular trend.

I thought it was cool how the Stein family were the first to collect modern art! The Steins started collecting works that would start the pace for modern art.

Valeriann Perreira

I thought that was interesting as well.

Due to the Flapper Movement, women became more independent and paved the way for women getting more rights.

Stephanie

1/10/2014 06:16:30 am

Good point :) This was a time period where many women pioneered the way

Karen

1/13/2014 03:37:22 am

This is a very good comment. Women were finally becoming independent. Flappers changed the way people viewed women in general.

Garrett Lenski #awesome #Flapper

1/8/2014 06:40:31 pm

The Flapper livened dance and brought happiness to people by just basically flapping around! (Ask Mr. Hollenbeck for an example of the Flapper.)

Alanna

1/8/2014 06:52:46 pm

The flapper also gave a new image to women, from conserved and strict, to free and loose.

Al Capone was smart but was involved with gangs since he was young, he was also a gangster.

Andrew Kirwan

1/14/2014 03:42:37 pm

This is a very true fact. Al Capone was indeed a gangster.

Zac

1/14/2014 03:44:00 pm

I concur with your comment on a very fine post

Christina Hapner

1/14/2014 03:43:17 pm

Al Capone, although he was a gang member, he did donate large amounts of his money to charities. Although it was stolen, he could still, in a sense be considered a good man but with bad actions.

Malik

1/8/2014 06:42:46 pm

Al Capone was a American gangster who had gained social and political control in society. Taught by Yale and known as Scarface, he became a underground king that was multidimensional.

Alanna

1/8/2014 06:51:25 pm

Organized crime grew due to the fact that it was the only way to obtain alcohol, and it made big money, fast.

Katie Knapp

1/12/2014 12:32:33 am

Al Capone was such a huge american icon in the 20's. I did not know that Scarface had his own movie, I mean, the guy was a gangster who did so many bad things! lol

Renee

1/14/2014 03:39:48 pm

Yeah, Prohibition was the reason for organized crime because it cause all alcohol to be illegal.

Alanna

1/8/2014 06:58:51 pm

"The Great Gatsby" was not very popular during the 1920's, however now it is considered an important piece of literature and Scott Fitzgerald is also considered one of the greatest 20th century writers today.

Antonio

1/8/2014 07:07:18 pm

The writers showed how intellectual people could be and is used as a very important part of education today.

Malik

1/8/2014 07:17:28 pm

In the movie you can see the difference in class with the way Gatsby lives and the way the woman that Tom was cheating with lives. With the economy being hit with the Depression the gap between classes would expand.

Katie Knapp :)

1/8/2014 07:33:05 pm

I learned about how Babe Ruth gave the people not only entertainment, but hope and happiness whenever he hit "The Home Run Shot". The crowds in the stands were so wild compared to now a days if you go to any other baseball game! America seemed to be in a decade of good change and prosperity in the Roaring 20's.

seth.Llanso

1/13/2014 05:43:52 am

babe ruth the home run hero. some say he was they greatest baseball player who ever lived likewise , i really enjoy your great comment.

Christina Hapner

1/14/2014 03:47:17 pm

Babe Ruth was basically living the American Dream. He gave hope and inspiration to people who watched him play his baseball games.

Stephanie

1/10/2014 06:12:02 am

During the 1920s modernism (a turn toward scientific reasoning rather than religion) clashed with the tradition if religion. Today we still see this large difference between people especially with the proposal with gay rights.

Good analogy!

Karen Quero

1/12/2014 12:35:23 am

In "Midnight in Paris," I learned that our generation of writers look back to the famous works of the authors from the 20's because they wrote honest novels. The novels were about war, depression, etc.

seth.llanso link

1/13/2014 05:36:06 am

the novels on the depression are quiet extraordinary, I agree with your good taste for books.

Valeriann Perreira

1/13/2014 10:55:08 pm

I noticed that too. It made me reflect on historical fiction novels and how "true" or "accurate" they may be. Most of them, at least ones that a few friends and I have read, seem to be strictly "based" off of historical time periods and events but don't really tell the story the way it happened.

seth Llanso link

1/13/2014 05:32:49 am

what learned about the roaring twenties was that the U.S.A had a cultural boom industrial boom and financial boom until in the 1930 the U.S stock market crashed and the u.s.a enter a great depression alimentally of war one. war two later in the 1940 U.S.A had then yet entered another war.

-Val-

1/13/2014 11:09:31 pm

The stock market crashed due to over inflation. Over inflation is the over production of goods that no one buys due to the fact that they don't need it.

In the late 1920s, Charles Lindbergh became the first man to fly non-stop over the Atlantic Ocean. For doing this, he received a $25,000 reward, the Ortiz Prize, the Medal of Honor, and the Congressional Gold Medal.

yes, he was labeled as the first man to cross the ocean, however as many tried to accomplish this mission, many lost their lives in the process.

The flapper movement changed the women from their former ways of long dresses and always proper attitudes to the short fringe dresses with a spunky attitude.

Angelica

1/14/2014 03:43:16 pm

Very true.... His cars were designed to go through thick and thin, and were not too expensive to buy. With his Assembly line, his production was growning quite rapidly as was the peoples desire for the car.

Prohibition was the banning of manufacturing/sale of alcohol in the us. this led to a growth of organized crime

Yes, it was soon a cause for many crimes due to the cause of being illegal to the public.

Flappers helped young girls express their emotions and feelings through the way they dressed and looked. That was the new generation which still plays a huge role with the way us girls dress and look through new styles everyday.

Angelica

1/14/2014 03:49:50 pm

Flappers started life as normal everyday girls who just wore what was traditional for them. As they grew older, they began to fight for their own right of dress. Dressing in dresses that went to their knees, they began their spunky era. However the flappers didn't die than, they still live on now. Everyday girls and guys come out with new dress styles and unique outfits showing you their adventurous, spunky, and unique sides.

Nathan Harrison

The number of people employed in 1929 began to drop rapidly over the next two years and slowly began to rise but never reached the number of people in 1929. This is a trend that has repeated over the last century but not as drastically.

Jazz was also known as the "Lost Generation". It was a time for young kids to rebel through music and dancing. Jazz music had a huge influence on pop culture throughout the years.
