Question

How did the Great Depression impact people's personal views?

Answer 1

Were confirmation needed that the American public is in a sour mood, the 2010 midterm elections provided it. As both pre-election and post-election surveys made clear, Americans are not only strongly dissatisfied with the state of the economy and the direction in which the country is headed, but with government efforts to improve them. As the Pew Research Center’s analysis of exit poll data concluded, “the outcome of this year’s election represented a repudiation of the political status quo…. Fully 74% said they were either angry or dissatisfied with the federal government, and 73% disapproved of the job Congress is doing.”

Answer 2

Answer:

  C. People were more inclined to believe in radical views.

Explanation:

  The Great Depression caused devastation throughout all America and the post World War I Europe. Especially in Germany.

  People then began to feel despise to the politicians of that time because they were guilty of letting the Depression happened. With that context, people with good oral skills could convince people to tend to radical views in order to get over that period.

  One major example of it was the arising of Hitler in Germany. Who, with great oratory skills came to power in Germany after the Great Depression convincing people that his radical points of view would be the politics that helped them to pass the crisis.
