The culture in the 1920s became extremely individualistic, and they valued escapism. Right before the 1920s, the nineteenth amendment was passed, so a lot of women were trying to find how they fit into society with their newfound freedom, and this played greatly into pop culture because now companies had an entirely new demographic to market to, so consumerism was an extremely big thing then. Also because women felt more liberated, this contributed to the flapper movement, which was defined by them defying traditional societal standards and having short hair, short dresses, smoking, and dancing (which were seen as unladylike and improper before). However, escapism also played an extremely big role. The economy was in a way worse state than most people thought, and a large portion of people were struggling to make a decent living, even before the Great Depression. The Harlem Renaissance that sprang up after the great depression was a movement of young people of color finding their voices, and people's interests in listening to jazz grew as a way to escape the realities of their day-to-day lives. Another way they tried to forget about their problems was through drinking, which was illegal under Prohibition. (This actually impacted immigrants hard, as many pubs/inns that closed down use to house them, be a place where they hung out, and was also where they got paid + immigrants often didn't have issues handling alcohol like other Americans, so they thought prohibition was a bit unfair.) This gave rise to many people making their own home breweries or getting priest licenses to great wine distilleries (the wine you have at church communions) because those were considered legal. Speakeasies opened to illegally serve people alcoholic drinks (they were hidden in alleyways, kitchens, etc). However, organized crime also rose as mafias found it an easy way to make money off of alcohol-dependent people. This led to the rise of the notorious gangster Al Capone, and many mob bosses getting extremely rich, and crime rate soared as they all tried to murder their competitors (the St Valentine's Day massacre is a good example of this). Eventually, the government made an amendment writing over Prohibiton, as it only increased all of America's problems, as everyone still drank, but drinking just became more dangerous (also even the president had someone illegally supplying him with alcohol).
TL;DR Flappers came around, Mobs rose because of Prohibition, and African Americans found their voices in the Harlem Renaissance.

The Nazis keep coming into camp for The Selection. How do you think the Jews feel having to prove over and over that they can pr
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The impotence of language in the face of visceral horror should not be underestimated; words evade the tremulous pen. Authors revealing the sordid depths plumbed by mankind are wordsmiths of singular talent, who stare with unfaltering courage into the abyss.Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel's account of his experiences as a 15 year old boy during the Holocaust, is a memoir of prodigious power: his humanity shines from every page as he bears witness to the tragedy which befell the Jewish race at the hands of the Nazis. Wiesel was a Romanian-born Jew whose home town of Sighet was occupied by the Hungarians for most of the second world war. In May 1944, all the Jews in the area were forced into cattle wagons and transported to Auschwitz. The concentration camp there shocks with its brutality and indifference to life, and to visit Auschwitz II-Birkenau – where each of the four crematoria attended to the daily slaughter of several thousand Jews – is to witness the void that remains when man abandons all morality. It is a scene of apocalyptic proportions: grotesque brick chimneys point their sombre fingers to the heavens, whilst all that remains of the majority of the wooden barracks are their ruined foundations. The rubble of a crematorium cowers under the weight of its own atrocities, and a brittle wind scours the air. The anguish of the past is still snagged on the barbed wire, and a terrible misery stagnates over the camp, its spores infiltrating the hearts of visitors in the 21st century. The desolation is overwhelming.A person's name is subliminally bound up in the fabric of their existence: it tethers them to the past and anticipates their future remembrance. When seeking to expunge every vestige of Jewish identity from Europe, the Nazis were not content to uproot each and every Jew, rob them of their worldly rights.

Both the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are designed to _____ the power of the federal government.
kobusy [5.1K]

Both the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are designed to <u>LIMIT</u> the power of the federal government.

The Ninth Amendment (1791) contained a Bill of Rights to protect the individual's right and limit the central government, stating that the rights addressed weren't final and didn't deny or disparage the existence of other unenumerated rights, retained by the people.

As for the Tenth Amendment (1791), it granted the powers that the Constitution neither delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states, to the states, which basically meant that the states could establish their own laws as long as they weren't contrary to the federal government's laws.
