The Traditional Vs. New Beliefs

Cultural Clash

• During the 1920s, Americans culture beliefs
  changed
• Many of the older generation held a traditional
  belief
• Women stayed at home cared for children
• Took care of the family
• Men worked a 5-6 day week
• As your parents got older you took care of them
• Family always came first

• The other side of the coin held new beliefs
• Gone were the beliefs based on family, church,
  and the traditional roles of family
• Some of these were a direct result of World War I
• Women saw they could be a productive part of
  society
• Women had gotten the right to vote and were
  looking for even more basic rights
• Women saw themselves as taking care of themselves
  not marrying right away

Review

• We have seen how Prohibition played a role in the
  lifestyle of the 1920s both the good and the bad
• We have seen the affect that this new era in life
  changed forever the way both men and other women
  looked at each other
• These things have played a role that would
  forever change the landscape of America and good
  or bad only time has been able to tell.
