How Has America Changed Over Time

The United States started out as 13 colonies and slowly expanded to a country with its own governing system. The founding fathers started brainstorming for this government even before the Revolutionary War; however, our independence from Britain was a big help in establishing the United States. Not only did they have the opportunity to expand and grow, they could finally make decisions as a country. There were big decisions made to form the country we see in 1870, for example: slavery. If the issue was never addressed early, it would have been harder to pass the fifteenth amendment. Not only was there more freedom, but the U.S. Had gotten bigger, due to the new states joining the Union.

How much has America changed since WWI? It has been almost 100 years since WWI ended and there have been many changes in that time span. Since then the first man has walked on the moon, we've had our first black president and gay marriage has been legalized. Even though we have advanced a lot since the 1910s we still deal with the same problems. Racism is still around and the KKK are protesting against black people, we still have issues with war and we still and we continue to deal with deportation and immigrants coming into the U.S. Today we still deal with similar problems with attacks on civil liberties from the 1920s, but today they aren't as big as they used to be.

Everyone has heard of the phrase “Back in the olden days” or “the good old days” from either a grandparent or parent. This phrase represent of how time has changed America from the 1900’s to the modern date. We often hear of how the children back then would entertain themselves by playing outside with friends, instead of checking cell phones every 5 minutes. With the new advancements and technology every generation has changed and redefined the term of American identity.

This period of time changed America. The depression and the war will never be forgotten. Americans were slammed with tragic of no jobs, no money, and no way to get by. Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the first 100 days in office creating programs to help the nation. The social security poster demonstrates that America acted responsible because it shows a post man’s hand handing a social security check to someone over 65. The capital, which represents the government, wanted to make sure the citizens were getting money they needed even when they could not work. There is no other way to be responsible as a nation than to take care of the people.

Everywhere, everyone and everything looks like their changing. Throughout time, everything has changed a lot. In American history, the first example was the American Revolution. If something was the same for years, then that would become boring. One thing that changes often is the Presidency.

This essay will examine the rise of “modern America”, there were economic, religious, and aspect of life changes took place and it was greatly changed the Americans society’s perceptions, specifically, the north and the south. The rise of “modern America” was greatly motivated immigrants to come to the United States for economic opportunity, industrialization in the North after the civil war created new businesses and job regulations, and the demand for social changes; all of these factors shaped America socially, politically, and economically.

Social change refers to an adjustment in the social order of a society. Social change may include changes in social behaviors and social relations. There are many historical events, the major component event that I feel changed America forever would be the 9-11 Terrorist Attack on the Twin towers. First, Big surveillances has changed America and our society. The NSA began persistently violating the constitution in the process of gathering information on nearly every citizen. For Example, The Patriot Act was passed 45 days after 9/11 by the national security to make it easier to spy by monitoring phone calls, email communications and track the activity on guiltless Americans on the internet. The Patriot Act turns

America is a land of freedom and bravery. During the time period that some of the works were written, The United States did not offer freedom. This country had slavery, poverty, and a social hierarchy that made many life choices for Americans. Slaves had to buy their freedom, men had to work for their possessions, and women had to raise their families with all the techniques they were taught from their mothers. There are many attributes to being an American, but race is not one of them. The theme in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is freedom, which is the idea for which America was founded.

This essay is about American Society and how it has changed from the 1840s compared to today. It will have examples from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and compare them to modern news story that have happened within the past 5 years. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain is a book critiquing American Society back in the 1840s. American Society has changed for the better since the 1840s, specifically the themes of laws/justice, racism and scams/cons.

Throughout time in American History, major transformations have taken place. By 1789 American society had been fundamentally transformed. I agree that we had adopted a radically democratic form of government in which the voice of the people was paramount; we had developed a fully independent and thriving economic system; and we had overthrown the old social order, putting in its place a system of social equality the like of which the world has never seen before. Most of these transformations had good intentions to bring a lot of new ideas of government; also there were a lot of uncertainties during this time.

I have very little faith or truth in the American media. I feel that most news station want so badly to be the first to report the news that there rarely gather all the facts first. I also feel that there is a real bias in the news that portrays minorities in an unfavorable light. For example, when Travon Martin was killed the new portrayed him as a “thug” or some sort of juvenile delinquent. On the other hand, when Dylan Roof shoot and killed nine church members he was just a “good kid that suffered a mental break down.” Broadcasters are supposed to fulfill a community need by providing the public with information. They make billions through public airwaves that cost them nothing to utilize. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox News are the five major

During the war, there were social changes in the United States. There were job opportunities for African Americans so many began the Great Migration to North in order to sought to escape racial discrimination in the South, which made it hard to make a living and often threatened their lives. Also, droughts had ruined much of the South’s cotton fields. In the North, there were more job opportunities. Wages, hours, and cost of living raise for workers. Women on the other hand were getting opportunities to work and eventually had the right to vote. The United States Constitution granted women the right to vote. However, there was a downfall to these social changes. Socialists were being jailed or arrested for criticizing the war or the government.

This American media is such a powerful weapon, it can make lies become truths, and it can change lives. It can make people believe that they are, or can be, anything or anyone.

In the USA, the media tends to focus on the negative things the people are doing to each other, their nation, the environment and the horrible things that are happening in return. At first glance, America seems like a miserable place filled with citizens that fight over money, discriminate against the minorities and destroy their homes. The news that is the easiest to access is about the negative things that are happening around this great country. America is portrayed inaccurately as a dark society that has few positive events happening within due to the popularity of the media’s constant outline of negativity.

Now days, the media has a negative influence on society, it targets the people that have progressive-liberal values and elaborates on situations. It seems as if everything you say is being held against you, and blown out of proportion by the news. The media does not honor the right for people to have freedom of speech. Everyone should be entitled to their opinion, and be treated equally. The media focuses more on making a story or statement, rather than sharing the truth.
