1932

The winter of 1932-1933 had dramatic effects on the American psyche. These were the worst of times of the Great Depression. Many Americans were homeless and lived in temporary villages known as “Hoover Ville’s”. Conditions in these makeshift living areas were extremely poor and the people living in those spaces began to resent President Hoover. The winter of 1932 also coincided with an election so it was no surprise when Franklin Roosevelt…

The Great Depression didn 't affect only the United States, it had worldwide implications that stemmed from it. It occurred in the late 1920s and lasted throughout the end of World War II. In 1932, one out of every four Americans was unemployed; in larger cities nearly half of the adults were out of work.(TS p.858) This economic turmoil caused food insecurity and massive job losses as people soured the country for work and stood in breadlines. These hard times put our nation at ends with…

Hughes had been interested in aviation long before his father’s death. The Hughes family was known for their engineering background; and growing up Hughes Jr. would take things apart and put them back together. Before the age of twelve, Hughes built Houston’s first radio transmitter and a motorized bicycle. And by the age of fourteen, Hughes started taking flying lessons. One day Hughes Sr. and Jr. were at a Harvard-Yale boat race. Hughes Sr. promised Jr. anything he would like if Harvard won…

theories, such as modernisation theory, that were constructed in Western Europe do not fit well into Asia. A major difference is the colonialist occupation of Asia by foreign countries. Except for Thailand which had an absolute monarchy regime until 1932 and was not colonised, the rest of Asia had direct foreign involvement and influence from colonialism. Malay and Hong Kong was colonised by the British Empire, Indonesia by the Dutch Empire and the Philippines by the Spanish Empire and the U.S.…

after all is said and done, the highest ideal. This can be so only if women accept the task which nature has imposed upon them—the care of their offspring,” Dr. J Sanders, Third International Congress of Eugenics, New York Herald Tribune (August 8, 1932). The feminist women of the early 20th century, sought freedom and equality in her education. Only recently had Catherine Brewer become the first American women to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1840 and Helen Magill become the first women to…

Almost like a love story, Bonnie and Clyde were the most famous criminal couple of their time. From January 1930 until May 23, 1934 they ran from the law. They robbed, commited burglary, and murdered people in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, and New Mexico. They covered their tracks so well it took years for the police enforcement to catch up to the skilled Barrow gang. Bonnie Elizabeth Parker was born October 1, 1910 in Rowena, Texas. Her father died when she was young and was raised by…

shows how from 1930 to 1932 none of the resource industries grew much at all compared to years like 1935-1937. This can be linked to the fact that there was a great famine in the year of 1932 which caused millions of people to die and huge food shortages. This affected the industry because the workforce was diminished and they were working on meagre rations. This shows the effect of collectivisation on industry because collectivisation is directly linked to the famine in 1932 due to resistance…

revealing the flaws within American economy. President Herbert Hoover reacted by primarily depending on voluntary actions. The people reacted to his wage policies pretty negatively because they were ineffective. This affected the presidential election of 1932 because Hoover quickly became unpopular and was running out of ideas. Herbert Hoover challenged the economic depression more than any other president, however he thought that instead of involving the feral government, voluntary actions…

haven’t been upheld. An example of when these protections of rights have been neglected is the Powell v. Alabama in 1932. There are several things that made this particular case so different from that of other cases. The time period, the series of events in the case, and the doctrines that were established during this time period are just a few to mention. The Powell v. Alabama case of 1932 was a fundamental case for its time. This case happened at the height of Segregation between African…

that nature provides possibilities and humans would use them according to their traditions, culture and stage of development. This paper explores the cultural geography view of Sauer (1925) in conjunction with articles of Kniffen (1935), Trewartha (1932), Brown (1933) and MacDougal (1912) to explain the relationship between humans and their environment with approach other than environmental determinism. In Saucer’s (1925) article “The morphology of landscape” he discussed various aspects of…
