Choose and discuss (in a full paragraph or two) one of the following two topics related to the 1920s and1930s.

1. The textbook highlights the significant emergence of new cultural trends due to improved technology (radio, movies, photography) and the spread of books & magazines (writers) in the “roaring” 1920s as well as in the 1930s, and also to new movements like the Harlem Renaissance, consumerism, and new “norms” for women. 

o Consider the new technology of radio and photography. With specific examples from the 1920s, discuss how these new technologies helped one of the movements and trends above.

o Identify the source(s) where you read about the trend of the 1920s.

2. The Great Depression (1929-1939) was one of the most devastating economic downturns that America has ever experienced.
