243 Words1 Pages
In the 1920s, mass-production and mass-consumption were the mainstream in the American society. The “mass” culture made consumer goods, and ordinary people could easily enjoy movies, radios, music and sports (634). Politics changed from Progressivism demanding government intervention to supporting individual success in private business (623). Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company, and adapted the concept of mass-production to his automobile business. The mass-production of the automobile brought a big change in America. It lowered the price of cars, and people in the working class could afford to own cars. Through the proliferation of automobiles, owning a car was not the symbol of wealth anymore (621).
