Correct answer: The spread of US culture to other parts of the world.
There is a connection also to the idea of America's growing power in the world after World War II, but to talk about "Americanization" refers to the cultural influence and impact of America across the globe, which also began to grow in the second half of the 20th century. British writer Chris Blackhurst described his own feelings as a young man in northern England, where he and his friends thought of Americans as "having greater knowledge and experience – not of politics or world affairs, but fashion, film, music, cars, shopping. We craved to be American." (See article: "How the World Was Won: The Americanization of Everywhere," <em>The Independent, </em>October 2, 2014.)
An example of the spread of Americanization across the world can be seen in the growth of fast-food chain McDonald's. McDonald's was founded in California in the USA in 1948. In the 1960s, McDonald's began opening restaurants in other countries -- Canada and Costa Rica first, and kept going from there. Today McDonald's has 32,000 locations in 117 countries. That's just one example of Americanization -- spreading a menu and food culture worldwide. Other examples from music and movies and the arts could be cited, as well as clothes and cars and many other American trends.
Not everyone views the spread of American culture worldwide as a good thing. Some see it as clouding the cultural heritage of other lands when they fall under US cultural influence.

Answer:
Starting with Illinois in 1911, the "mother's pension" movement sought to provide state aid for poor fatherless children who would remain in their own homes cared for by their mothers. In effect, poor single mothers would be excused from working outside the home. Welfare reformers argued that the state pensions would also prevent juvenile delinquency since mothers would be able to supervise their children full-time.
By 1933, mother's pension programs were operating in all but two states. They varied greatly from state to state and even from county to county within a state. In 1934, the average state grant per child was $11 a month. Administered in most cases by state juvenile courts, mother's pensions mainly benefitted families headed by white widows. These programs excluded large numbers of divorced, deserted, and minority mothers and their children.
