The World Of The Roaring Twenties : A Decade Of Jazz And Gin, Invention And Discovery, And

After World War 1, America had to demobilize and revert back to a peace time economy. During the 1920’s, it was viewed as a prosperous economy since there was a new labor force due to demobilization, new inventions, and a new infrastructure. Also moral spirits were high since America along with the Allied Powers defeated Germany and the Great War was finally over. However, America began making many economic policies and decisions that will eventually lead up to the Great Depression.

First, Aldous Huxley contradicts the events he’s witnessed in real life to create a dystopian world in his novel. During the 1930’s, life wasn’t so pleasant in Europe. Depression was a big factor during this time. The use of ethos shows how the morals of the Brave New World people were basic and forced. Huxley interprets the quote “That’s because we don’t allow them to be like that. We preserve them from diseases. We keep their internal secretions artificially balanced at a youthful equilibrium” to show that in order for the society to maintain stability, the people weren't allowed to think freely. The brighter people in the novel believed that if the happiness wasn't forced into the society , they would experience the life of depression and old age. The society of the novel never got to encounter a face of wrinkles or back pain. They didn’t have to go through the real stages of life like a normal

The Roaring Twenties were a time of new behaviors, attitudes, and freedoms which were all presented during the Prohibition. The Roaring Twenties were an era of social, political, and dramatic change. During this age, freedoms were expanded yet, in some cases, they were diminished. Prohibition was an enormous part of this era. Prohibition was ratified as the 18th Amendment in 1919, banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol. The three main contributions from Prohibition were: bootlegging, organized crime, and the failure of Prohibition. Prohibition very much contributed to the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties in a detrimental way to society by creating a period of time in which even the average citizen broke the law.

There is a controversial debate about the 1920s, whether it was “roaring” or whether is was destitute. In the perspective of some historians, the 1920s brought a rapid increase in urbanization and boom in the economy, however, these historians fail to see the evident terrors that the 1920s brought. The positive uproar on the 1920s did not stand a chance against the rising negative roar of residential schools, the Stock Market Crash, and credit debt. Due to these tragic events, 1920s was brought a dark and negative atmosphere rather than one of contentment.

The Roaring Twenties of America, which was from 1920-1929, saw a great social and economic prosperity. People were happy, and were celebrating the victory of World War 1. The gasoline price was lowered, right to vote for women was granted, and America was climbing towards a great success. In 1929, Herbert Hoover became the president of the United States of America, and he said, “ Given a chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, we shall soon with the help of God be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation”(Roark, Pg. 703). After few months of his inauguration, his words contradicted, the Roaring Twenties halted. During the Roaring Twenties, the stock market prices increased steeply. The rapid

The 1920s, or better known as the roaring twenties changed the lives of women in America politically, physically and mentally. Women were granted more freedom, the right to vote, changed their physical appearance, and focused on materialistic goals instead of moral values. Before World War I, women would wear a high collar, long straight skirts below the knee and long hair that was tied loosely. The roaring twenties brought along swing dancing and jazz which changed the way women dressed and danced.

Flappers were women who wore short sparkly dresses, cut their hair into a bob, wore heavy make-up, drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes and partied all night.

Brave New World is a book written in 1932 by Aldous Huxley. One of the more memorable aspects of Brave New World is its setting: a dystopian future where the government regulates everything in society and all high art is banned. At the time the book was written technology was rapidly advancing, so Huxley decided to let the quickly advancing world shape the setting of Brave New World. Modernization heavily shapes Brave New World's setting.

The “Roaring Twenties” was a time of prosperity and it showed in the way that people in American spent their leisure time. With the advent of audio in a motion picture, movie house were built to make people feel as if they were not just attending a movie show, but participating in an event (Schultz, 2013). People also enjoyed jazz music on their newly acquired phonograph players and listened to everything on the radio from professional sports to gospel preaching and gossip. For those that preferred a more solace activity, there was always crossword puzzles and bridge. The Harlem Renaissance became increasingly popular at this time as African Americans began to get involved on the jazz scene.

In Brave New World, Huxley warns readers against a loss of individuality as well as a loss of deep personal relationships. By mass producing twins, manipulating embryos, and conditioning children, this society has done away with individuality. Lenina reinforces this throughout the novel when she says, "Everyone belongs to everyone else." Even the state motto of "Community, Identity, Stability" shows this loss. The state motto means that losing your individuality to instead of being identified as an Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, or Epsilon produces stability in society. The Controller shows this in the book when he says, "[there is] no civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability." In this world they believe that individual stability is assured through citizens knowing their place in society and loving it through the use of conditioning. People in Brave New World cannot change their role in society, or even live permanently with a person of their choice. People adapt that viewpoint as they are born, manipulated, and conditioned to be identical pieces to be used until they are no longer useful. People in Brave New World
