Mainly known as the “Golden Age” or the “Roaring Twenties,” the 1920s were a great time of prosperity and change. Looking from the social aspect of the time, many things elevated and took on new rules. Personally, I would say that it was a time of the rebellion from the younger generations to the older ones. New fads and feats came to life. Similar to today, there were many trends that came and went. Compared to the 1920s, today’s fad are a bit more crazy and some may lack reason but it makes the ones in the 1920s prude like and not special.

In 1927, Lindbergh packed his bags, started is flight engine and took off on the “Spirit of St Louis”. Thirty-three and a half hours (3,500 miles) later he landed in Paris, making him the first to fly over the Atlantic alone. Other accomplishments involved breaking records such as Henry Ford’s Assembly line. His assembly line broke the record for the fastest production of car made. Likewise, Babe Ruth, America’s hero and favorite pass time, broke MLB single-season home run record multiple times. Today, we have accomplishments such as the first African American president, Barack Obama and possibly our first female president soon to follow. However, on a social note, as a nation we accomplished overcoming ALS through the #IceBucketChallenge on social media and had Scott Kelly set the record for longest time spent in space. On March 27, Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to stay aboard the ISS for one year, which is twice as long as typical U.S.
