Social Changes In America

Decent Essays
I believe society has changed in many ways some changes have been good some have been bad. The changes i would like to talk about have affected people all around this country. we've seen people have arguments over things that shouldn't be argued about we've seen groups turn on each other over what they think is right and we're seeing possibly the worst election year ever. But we've seen new fascinating technology being developed like rovers that NASA says may be able to land on a comet. But people have changed But not for the best and not for the worst they seem slower now like they believe anything someone with little power says we have huge groups that pay attention to this crappy election and not to what is going on in their own backyard. …show more content…
Which might not sound bad but have you ever heard a story from a friend, relative or etc, that happened the previous week and heard nothing about it even though you might watch every news channel out there this you have never heard this story. Like for instance right now their is a pipeline being built through native american sacred ground which native american's from many tribes have come together to protest this pipeline from being built. And these tribes have never gotten along and for one time they're coming together something as one. But the company building the pipeline have been trying to hide this story from many news broadcasts so that they can assure that their pipeline is …show more content…
I believe once the public opens their eyes and see what they've been forced to see things would change drastically people would finally see and here about the truth of what is really going on in the world and instead of fighting with each other they'd be fighting against people who wish to do us and our rights harm. the way we've lived may have seemed normal but people are easily confused over whats going on in the world or even in their back yard. society has advanced in the technological field we've seen numerous inventions made these past years like wireless headphones and other things like that but the film industry has just been the most advanced we've seen in awhile computer generating software has really stepped up from past

    I have a question. Are we here in modern time stuck in ways of how society used to be with the social classes and the diversities or have we progressed in the fact that things are getting better with the technology and the standards of living with school and work. Some may say, well yes we are stuck with the differences of social class and thing will not get better because that is just how society is; but then you may find some may say, well yes things are getting better with the fact that statistics show the levels of good or bad maybe going up or down. I am going to have to say that it goes both ways. But we also have to look at the progressing that it is in today and will have in the future.…

    The Roaring Twenties was a time of economic success that seemed endless: the economy aggrandized, wages increased, and everyone had access to more money than ever before. America had changed into a consumer society that contrasted with the production of industrial goods and frugality of the 19th century, becoming a leading cultural nation and a global power in the 20th century. Despite the economic boom of the 1920s, poverty and inequality were huge blemishes in the face of everyday society, the rich became richer, the poor, poorer. Distinct social classes were established and everyone was working to be at the top. As much as one worked, they would spend, causing a lower social status and sometimes a downfall in their everyday lives.…

    Summer Slininger Latino: The Changing Face of America is a documentary that dives deep into the fact that in the future the United States will face a demographic shift and Latinos will become the largest demographic group. Roxane Frias created this documentary to inform people about how the Latino population will begin to have a large influence on the United Sates future within politics and communities. This movie was an eye opener for me, as before watching this film I was oblivious to many of the facts that were spread throughout the film. When the film began to talk about how the presidential candidates need to receive the Latino vote in order to win presidency, I was a little weary on that fact.…

    “The only thing necessary for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” During the time of the American Renaissance people only looked out for what they could profit from, rather than what they could do to profit the entire community, so the evil of the world triumphed in a persons lack of generosity and kindness towards other human beings. The American Renaissance, also known as the rebirth, made people think about the way they were living their lives and how they were treating the people around them. It was between the years 1840-1870 and in those years authors were writing to express the values of courage, honesty, and good morality. In the American Renaissance time period there was a hunger for social reform.…

    The era following World War I known as the roaring twenties displayed a clash of traditional ideas and modernized ideas, both how these issues grew and their eventual outcomes. These issues manifested various social changes dealing with new immigration, religious tradition, the exploitation of mass media and new inventions, and the social tension with women, blacks, and gangs. The new flow of immigrants was restricted and controlled due to the hysteria induced by the Red Scare with liberals challenging the nativists. The traditional fundamentalism in religion challenged modern values with the Ku Klux Klan, the Scopes trials, and exploring religion in the United States. The mass media of the decade contributed to the growth of affordable consumer…
