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

The correct answers are B, C, and F.

B) Censoring books and newspapers: Both forms of government control apply strict censorship as individuals cannot claim any freedom of speech, thought and writing. The officials restrict or shut down completely any form of press, publication of books, radio, and/or television that's not under the regime's control.

C) Creating a powerful secret police force: In order to maintain control of the population, this type of government entities look to <em>keep people constantly afraid</em>, and one of the tools they use is terror. Whether its using a secret police that acts as vehicle of oppression, or also using other kind of armed forces that serve the purpose of creating a sense of constant threat.  

F) Forbidding the practice of organized religion: Communism and Totalitarianism conceive themselves as a <em>potential replacement for the entities of faith</em> that a free country may decide to praise as another tool to ensure their grasp on power. Keep in mind that while totalitarianism is driven to establish itself as a new religion, Communism sees it more as an instrument of domination of the masses.
