People's point of view can change to suit changes in historical context.

Allow me to add some explanation about historical context and how that works.

When the Panama Canal was built in the early 1900s, the historical and political context was one of imperialism. President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States used military pressure and warships to force Columbia to recognize Panama's independence, and then arranged with Panama to cede a strip of land to the United States (for $10 million) so that the US could build the canal and control the canal zone for commercial purposes.

By the late 20th century, the historical and political context was much different, and imperialistic control of overseas territories was no longer in vogue.  In 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which agreed to give over control of the canal to Panama by the end of the century, with transfer of control taking place on December 31, 1999. 

  Part of the reason for willingness to make that transfer was that the Panama Canal had become expensive for the United States to maintain and operate -- so that part of the historical context plays in also.  Since Panama took over the canal, they have actually done very well financially with it.  You could check out a good book on the subject,<em> The Big Ditch,</em> by Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu, published by Princeton University Press in 2010.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

During the 1920s, the main difference between this period and the previous is the communication vehicle used by the advertisers. With the presence of radio and the rising of cinema, advertising began to use these tools, reaching a large number of people, especially the ones who didn't read, for example. The use of cinema stars such as Marry Pickford, Jason Fairbanks and their personas in the silver screen began to show their faces in magazines, daily bugles, gossip magazines and so on. The consumerism of the 1920s was used as an argument for the greedy advertising, and increased immensily during this period, with families buying a certain brand because a certain movie star also owns it.

Explanation:

In the 1920s, not only the American Way of Life was established, but also the American mass culture thanks to the combination of serial production, advertising and credit sales. Radio, cinema, newspapers, and magazines were the main promoters of the American way of life.

How did eisenhower's presidency signal a more conservative direction for the government?
taurus [48]
He used conservatism as his political direction in the government, however, still progressive in some situations. He proved this as he continued to use Truman's policy to recognize the government of China and try to solve problems with its relation to this country and was able to have A Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty.  He never used nuclear war as an answer to solve problems with China.
