A part in mistletoe folklore comes from Norse mythology. As the story goes, when the god Odin’s son Baldur was prophesied to die, his mother Frigg, the goddess of love, went to all the animals and plants of the natural world to secure an oath that they would not harm him. But Frigg neglected to consult with the unassuming mistletoe, so the scheming god Loki made an arrow from the plant and saw that it was used to kill the otherwise invincible Baldur. According to one sunnier version of the myth, the gods were able to resurrect Baldur from the dead. Delighted, Frigg then declared mistletoe a symbol of love and vowed to plant a kiss on all those who passed beneath it.

Technically, it traces back to ancient Norse mythology. At least, that's where the mistletoe's association with romance came from. It really picked up in the 18th century, when it became a tradition for British servants to kiss under a mistletoe. The tradition spread from there.

The aim of this question is to have you weigh the evidence and decide which title best fits the 1920s and be ready to defend your choice.

This sort of question is not one which has just one correct response.  The detailed instructions for the discussion question already give you the outlines of the arguments for both sides of the question.  The value of the discussion activity is to get you to think about the factors on both sides of the discussion and to talk through those ideas as a class.

One possible answer to the question would be to say that both titles fit the 1920s equally well, but they look at the era from differing perspectives.  From the standpoint of mainstream politics (headed by Presidents Harding and Coolidge), the 1920s represented a return to isolationist and conservative policies, with government focused on making the country a good place for business and industry.  From the standpoint of social life and trends, there was much liberalism and freedom being expressed, which went against the conservative mainstream mood of those who held political power at the time.
