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

History

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! :)

How is the coronavirus a totalitarian state
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

I don't know. But, I hope this helps.

By the end of December, health workers warned that something was afoot. Yet totalitarians hate bad news, that’s in their DNA. Suppressing the reports, they blamed the messengers and detained them. There was “speed,” but the wrong kind. Instead of locking up the doctors, the regime might have closed down Wuhan Airport, which serves 32 cities around the world, including Paris, London, Rome, Seoul, Tokyo, and Sidney. With flights operating into February, the virus forged ahead while precious time was lost. In mid-March, the regime tried fake news, a classic agitprop tool, with the foreign ministry insinuating that the “U.S. army had brought the epidemic to Wuhan.”
