During the 1940's the economic growth was rapid.  The country was recovering from the Great Depression in the late 1930's, so the events of the 1940's were a huge economic turning point for Americans.  The MOST significant of these events was World War II.  After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 the United States was catapulted into an economic boom created by need for soldiers, warfare products and medical care.  

Young and able men went off to war in Europe and were compensated my the government for their service. Everyone else, including women, were recruited into working roles to support the men in uniform.  Factory workers created everything needed for the U.S. to come out victorious.  They made vehicles, uniforms, weaponry, ammunition, MRE's (meals ready to eat) and many other goods.  Others became medical professionals and went to hospitals and battle field medical tents to heal the wounded and sick soldiers.  

The increase in demand of goods made once small companies into major corporations and created massive amounts of jobs for a population that was desperately in need of employment.  Following the war and entering the Cold War Era, these corporations began to emerge into major conglomerates and start bringing their business international.  Other major consumer industries started to pop-up as well, such as McDonalds and car rental.  People were working and had money to spend so industries were flourishing. World War II had an enormous impact of the U.S. economy that lasted for decades to follow.

GalinKa [24]

The correct answer is D. Hyperreality.

Explanation

Jean Baudrillard (1929 - 2007) was a porstmodern french philosopher who stood out for his research on the subject of hyperreality, a term that refers to the inability of the conscience of individuals to distinguish reality from fantasy, especially in the Postmodern cultures with great technological advances. This theorization is expressed by Baudrillard through an example in which he refers to a Jorge Luis Borges story, that describes a map of a territory. Based on this description, Braudillard points out that in postmodernity, the territory does no longer exists and that only the map or its representation has remained. He also states that it is not possible to differentiate between the two because the differences have been minimized until eliminated. So, the correct answer is D. Hyperreality.
