1 answer:

8 0

It was a time of mass production but due to a mentality of high production and low wages consumerism couldn't keep up. America was overproducing and with companies losing money people started to get laid off. Further spurring the Great Depression was the Stock Market Crash, with people buying stock on credit and people eventually discarding their stock in a mad dash it crashed. Despite the fact that the crash only affected a small percentage of the population it trickled down due to the fact that these were business owners. Unemployment rates skyrocketed.

On the bright side...the beginning of the 1920s was the end of a war and a huge economic boom. (Stock Market Crash didn't happen until 1929) Prohibition led to an era of rebellious teens, women drank and smoked, dressed "scandalously", and overall gained more freedom

2- What is Strategic and Organic Activism?

kirill115 [55]

<u>Strategic and Organic Activism:</u>

Strategic activism refers to highly planned involvement that demands nothing else but only the necessary input to be brought into operation to fetch the desired output. On the other hand, organic activism refers to the use of conventional means and methods without putting much emphasis on expected results.

In order to strictly bring about the desired results, it is mandatory to have a strategic plan about what is to be done to achieve only what is wanted. Thus, when an individual or an institution sticks to the plan and operates accordingly, it is referred to as strategic activism. Organic activism, on the contrary, is simply logrolling to get hold of whatever the result is.
