What role did advertising play in transforming america into a consumer society?

History
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
6 0
During and after WWI, America experienced rapid growth due to the fact that pretty much the rest of the western civilization was demolished. American businesses were selling to Europe, and obviously earned a lot of profit. There was a lot of opportunity, and people wanted to spend their extra money on fun things. Advertisers and Marketers capitalized on that, and started a shift into more consumeristic thinking. With the advent of electricity, tons of home appliances were created and marketed, emphasizing the "buy now and pay later" approach. With all of the kitchen appliances, the era of domesticity ended, and women were free to go do other things such as have jobs or pursue fun activities.
The economy thrived, money was created out of nothing (compound interest, etc), which lead to a bubble and eventual collapse in 1929.
Hope this helps! :)

Mnenie [13.5K]
I am not totally sure about this one but I believe it would be p<span>rops used in the Renaissance period were much more elaborate than those used by the Greeks and Romans.

The renaissance was, in many ways, more advanced than Greece and Rome because </span>the Renaissance was more of a continuation of the discoveries and ways of life that had existed during the Greek and Roman times.  As such, it would make sense that the Renaissance had more complex theatre props.  Also theatre was flourishing during the Renaissance so better props would have been made.

90 yearss of riots, rebllionn, and civil disobedience. 

Early years in the movement focus on the trading company and appeals to the British for independence.
