The decade after the war brought in prosperity, wealth, national pride, and a way to escape from the war over the past years. The 30s was also a decade in which people wanted to get away however, it was filled with despair and grief. The reasons why many people once immigrated to Canada were now gone. The 1920s and 1930 were very different based on their social climate, women roles, politics, and economy.
During the years of segregation, white schools had access to funds which led to a
In this essay I will be explaining how society was in 1930’s America and how people were being treated in the 1930’s based on the depression, racism, misogyny, names, power and the American dream. Firstly of Mice and Men was written in the 1930’s and was set in California. In 1930’s America, faced a problem which was known as the depression. This meant that when one business went down all the workers became unemployed, so no-one had any money.
They had less supplies and financial support than the white schools and were overcrowded. These schools were overlooked by the governments
The culture in the 1930s was completely different from now. The culture, sports, presidents, automobiles, and equality were all different. The movies and books had a different way of talking as far slang, and addressing people. Some of the books in the time were To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Hobbit. The music was completely different there was no rap.
The years following Lissitzky’s Electro-Library inspired inventors to develop machines that embodied the goals behind his credo. In 1930, Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske developed a transportable reading machine. Weighing less than four ounces and resembling a lorgnette, the machine was transportable and so was the book. Each strip of paper contained about 25,000 words; thus, an entire book could easily be printed on a few strips (“Reading Machine” 53). Due to the page’s size, the type was microscopic, so the reader would read it through a magnifying class that they would hold up to their nose.
Firstly, the compulsory education law was amended in Virginia so that parents would be able to keep their children from attending integrated schooling. Additionally, schools that were integrated were often closed, and funds were diverted to private, all-white schools. As a result, many African American students were left without
Along with changes within society, education experienced great changes as well. When World War I started, there was only about one million kids attending a high school. However, this number soared to over four million by 1926. With industry booming and the economy prospering, there was a need for higher skilled laborers. This is exactly what high schools became in the 1920’s, as they offered a big range of various courses for students who were interested in industrial jobs.
The amount of unfairness that went on at the time affected everyone socially, economically, and with their education. No person can peacefully learn when they are scared about what might happen to them when they walk outside. Everybody at school is there for a reason. To get an education and further grow socially and intellectually as a person. Yes, segregation and inequality was happening all over no matter who you were, but when it comes to education the unfairness should cease as you are only there to learn.
White schools had better trained teachers and new technology that helped the students gave them an advantage over the all black schools. Black schools were mostly run down, even after the Brown v Board of Education decision. Even after the Jim Crow education system being abolished, it perpetuated the black ghettos by most of their prior generations being taught to have low level jobs and education never mattered. However, newer generations have a better education than their prior generations and those who decide to stay in the ghettos, are misfortunate to have a schooling system that is heavily underfunded than one that is all
The food served at schools wasn't very good and classrooms were overcrowded because many schools shut down. During this time teachers could punish their students. However, some of the punishments were harsh and the teachers were allowed to do it. In the end, students who stayed in school went to the classes and dealt with the things that happened in school, and they did end up having better lives than what they were going through while in school. In the 1930’s school was different in may ways such as the condition of the buildings, how to teach students, and the punishments administered to misbehaving students.
In the 1930’s many tenagers were homless. They hopped on trains and rain away in hopes for a better life. Due to the lack of money, many families and teenagers lived off of food that was provided from churches and soup lines. Today only 1% of homeless are minors. That is because we can track the kids down and return them to their home or we can put them in a shelter.
During the 1930’s the Great Depression occurred and with this came massive unemployment that was felt across the country and affected many. It was not only felt by the stock market or bankrupt companies, but also farmers which led to deflated prices and loss fortunes. However when Franklin D Roosevelt got became president, he enacted the New Deal. Which created many programs that are still utilized today to help those in poverty. The late 1950s to early 1960s faced minor economic instability, but allowed for legislation (The Great Society) to be put into place which was designed to assist older Americans, push for greater civil rights, and assist those still living in poverty.
Sydney Volmert Mrs. Lieb English 9 6 March 2024 Public Education in the 1930s Primary Schools, High Schools, and Universities all fed into rebuilding the Public Education System. The system needed to be rebuilt because segregation was raging. Another issue during this time was the Great Depression which resulted in very poor families, because there were not any available jobs, leaving most unemployed. Public Education was important to all people because every person wanted a good education, that they could then apply to their lives. Society reworked every stage of public education in the 1930s.
Again.. I feel like I am learning a hole different side to history then I was in high school. Not a bad thing but very interesting. In high school the 1920’s was in my opinion pretty glorified. We talked about all the positives, women empowerment, bootlegging alcohol, and extravagant parties.
