Great Gatsby Fitzgerald F Scott Fitzgerald
1,232 words
F. Scott Fitzgerald was accurate in his portrayal
of the aristocratic flamboyancy and indifference
of the 1920 s. In his novel, The Great Gatsby,
Fitzgerald explores many aspects of indifference
and flamboyancy. A large influence on this society
was the pursuit of the American Dream. Gangsters
played a heavily influential role in the new money
aristocracy of the 1920 s. The indifference was
mainly due to the advent of Prohibition in 1920.
One major societal revolution in this period was
that of ...

Canadian Temperance groups began to rally for
prohibition during the 1840 s and 1850 s. It was

the temperance groups support for prohibition
grew. A need for grain for the armed forces was
viewed as a major catalyst for Canadas Prohibition

for many historic successes and failures in
Canada. This paper looks at the emergence,

Desertion and Decline for Progressivism The decade
of the 1920 s discouraged the progressive
movement. It was a period that had an
extraordinary reaction against idealism and
reform. The goal was to restore a place of special
privilege benefiting big business, industry, and
finance. Traditions and ideals were forgotten,
nationalism was prominent with a fear of
communism, suppression of civil liberties, and a
revival of nativism. Because of this, progressives
withdrew from the political scene, be...

Twentieth Century American Women
1,646 words
The 1920 s, a period that saw dramatic changes in
dress, was perhaps the first modern decade of the
twentieth century. The corseted woman of the
previous decade, with her hobble skirts and huge
hats, looked as if she came from another world
when compared to the modern woman of the 1920 s.
The result was extreme. Fashionable 1920 s female
body evolved from the elaborately trimmed dress
with its high waist position and ankle length
skirt at the beginning, to the simple, hardly
