Society And Culture In Society

The World War created a great deal of changes for everyday life of an American citizen. American people faced losses and had to learn how to start over. It brought changes from the social and economic standpoint of things. Crazy to think that

World War II was a war that changed the world. It affected many lives across the globe, including those in America. The lives of women and minorities in America were greatly changed. Women became a key part in aiding the war effort, and minorities took the opportunity to push for civil rights. However, for Japanese Americans, the war had a very negative effect as they were seen as a threat to our country. World War II truly impacted these groups of people and transformed their of ways of life.

World War II changed the lives of many Americans overnight. Men, women, children, everyone was impacted by it in one way or another. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese, the United States made the decision to enter World War II and fight back. World War II gave those who were discriminated against better opportunities. World War II impacted many Americans especially Latinos, African Americans, and women. Even though they were all discriminated against equally before World War II, during World War II Latinos and African Americans had a more positive experience than women.

World War II was one of the most significant wars in history. It is also the deadliest with a death toll of, approximately, 56.4 million; almost half of which were Soviet fatalities. Furthermore, the amount of people who met their demise during the time of this war is absolutely devastating. World War II could have been avoided if there was better cooperation and communication across the globe.

World War II is an event that has marked history like no other. Originating from a European struggle, war broke out in 1939 and continued for six years. From the years 1939 through 1945 more than half the earth's surface was battling in war. American society was greatly affected. People of every age, race and class were deeply affected. Women's place in society took a leap forward like it never had before. As an effect of the second world war women's traditional roles in society were drastically altered.

There are many stories of many tragedies, loses, and sadness that was in and followed World War II. To start, there were many ways the war impacted America and it changed American home life. There were many people who gave their lives to the war from America and other countries. A cause of the war was the stock market crashed. This led to very dark times for America. As you can see, many people all over the world suffered from this disagreement between countries.

World War II was and most likely will be the largest and most great war to ever appear on this earth. Although it brought so much death and destruction with a striking total of over 60 million deaths, it is also the deadliest conflict to ever have happened as well. Out of all the horror that was WWII it did create a lot of advancements like the boost in advancements in technology. As well there were great social changes in the United States. Also there were significant boosts in medical sciences. There were economical advancements in the United States. Finally there were advancements in world peace never seen before. Though war should never be defined as good, World War II created many beneficial advancements for the United States and the world.

As a young woman that has experienced both World Wars, I can now say that World War II has altered the manner of the U.S. World War II was the most widespread and deadliest war in history and there were two sides of the war, the Allies (United States, Great Britain, France, USSR, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, and Yugoslavia) against the Axis Powers (Germany, Japan, Italy Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria). Our involvement began in 1941 with Japan’s aggressive attack on Pearl Harbor, a naval base in Hawaii and ended in 1945 with a win by the Allies, bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. During and after the war, I strongly believe that the United States changed for the better with strong heros like Richard Winters and Ira Hayes, an economic boom, and women entering the workforce.

The war affected my grandfathers’ life because he didn’t want to see people being killed and he wanted a better life for himself and for his family. He had a three-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter and a lovely wife to take care of.

War, destruction, grief, hunger, hate, peace, love, wealth. WW2 brought many mixed feelings and emotions, it brought billions of dollars of destruction, but as bad as it was could we say the war also had positive effects. It wasn't until early December of 1942 until the second great world war had begun. Japan dropped bombs on the naval base in Hawaii which caused the US to declare war changing America forever. WWII impacts were like nothing else, the way Americans lived on the home front, the roles of women as well as gender and race relations, and the US economy was affected greatly. This war altered the way Americans lived forever, it brought the people together with one goal, and it was to defeat the axis power.

WWII changed the lives of depression-weary Americans across the country. After the country suffered through the Great Depression entering the war was the last thing on Americans minds. But as the war brewed overseas and grew closer and closer it became inevitable that America would have to get involved. As with most wars WWII offered expansion for women. Their duties and responsibilities at home expanded while their husbands were at war. Their roles in the workforce greatly increased. For the first time women were accepted into the military in an official capacity. WWII was one of the most important steps towards our present day state of gender

World War II was a very important event in American history, but as bad as war is or seems to be there always seems to have better outcomes in the end. By the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and bringing America into the war it opened the eyes of all Americans to the problems not only domestically but internationally and the biggest problem that was discovered after the completion of World War II was the level of social equality around the world. It had been a problem that had plagued the world for many years but the atrocities that brought about by the war coupled with the ever growing eye of the media caused for greater concern in the light of social equality in the world.

Many times I have attempted to comprehend the actions of other people. I always wanted to know why people of different genders, descents, and colors had certain cultural, societal, and religious beliefs. It became apparent to me that all persons are a direct reflection of their environment. In other words, all persons unconsciously, and sometimes consciously, reflect and imitate their environment and

World War II had a definite impact on the United States. It changed how people lived and how other people were viewed. Not many people realize the treatment of people from our own country during World War II. Three groups of people that were affected were women, African Americans, and Japanese Americans. The lives of these people were changed drastically, whether by having to work, mistreatment because of skin color, or by being blamed for something that was done by a country they were native to.

The Effect of World War II on the Lives of People at Home World war two was officially started with the invasion of Poland, September 1939 where the British being an ally of Poland and disagreeing with Hitler’s actions, declared war against Germany. The war lasted for 6 years in Europe until 1945. It managed to involve most of Europe and Asia, America, Canada, Australia, Africa. Debatably more the 30 million perished as a direct result of the war and generally it was the war that the world collectively lost more in than any other through out history.
