The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say that the emergent consumer culture changed what it meant to be "American" at the turn of the century in that it represented the rise of many big consumer companies such as "Sears," that turned American people into a consumerism society. The two basic ways in which these new companies tried to sell goods to US citizens were by mail orders or directly in the stores. It was a time in which stores offered many unnecessary things to the American consumer, mostly for leisure time. Those years were the beginning of large retail stores such as Macy's, Marshall Fields, Gimbel's, or Woolworth. It was also a time in which people bought many things on credit. They bought cars, furniture, and home electronics. For instance, that was the case of what was known as the "Roaring 1920s."

Rzqust [24]

The Storming of the Bastille (French: Prise de la Bastille [pʁiz də la bastij]) occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the center of Paris. The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.

The earliest examples of chineese writing occured:

juin [17]

The Chinese writing system is an unique phenomenon in the modern world of alphabet scripts. Instead of a few dozen letters, it has developed thousands of complex signs or "characters" that represent morphemes and words. Even related writing systems such as Japanese and Korean, while sharing many of the same characters, can fully function as purely phonetic scripts. And while it is not the only living logographic writing system in the modern world, it is the only one serving as the primary writing system for hundreds of millions of people.

The first recognizable form of Chinese writing dates from 3,500 years ago, but many argue that its origins lie much deeper in the past. Regardless of its actual age, Chinese has evolved substantially over time yet has retained its ancient core, making it one of the longest continuously used writing system in the world.
