What changes do you think made the biggest impact on American society and culture in the 1950s?

History

ANEK [815]3 years ago
5 0

During the 1950s, a sense of uniformity pervaded American society. Conformity was common, as young and old alike followed group norms rather than striking out on their own. Though men and women had been forced into new employment patterns during World War II, once the war was over, traditional roles were reaffirmed. Men expected to be the breadwinners; women, even when they worked, assumed their proper place was at home. Sociologist David Riesman observed the importance of peer-group expectations in his influential book, The Lonely Crowd. He called this new society "other-directed," and maintained that such societies lead to stability as well as conformity. Television contributed to the homogenizing trend by providing young and old with a shared experience reflecting accepted social patterns.

The Cold War began due to confrontations over post-WWII decisions made about which part of the world?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

<h2>D. Europe</h2>

Explanation:

The western members of the Allies (Britain, France and the United States) and their wartime partner in the alliance, the Soviet Union, were at odds over how Europe would be governed after the war.  The Western democracies wanted free and open elections in the countries of Eastern Europe coming out from under Nazi domination.  The Soviet Union wanted states allied and aligned with it to prevent any future aggression against the USSR (like how Germany had invaded).  The USSR ended up heavily influencing the Eastern European countries to align with communism, bringing them behind what Winston Churchill called "The Iron Curtain."

The situation of Germany itself was also a tension spot.  Germany was divided between the four Allied nations (Britain, France, the USA, and the USSR).  The British, French and American sectors combined their governance of West Germany and West Berlin.  This prompted the Soviets to blockade Berlin (located within the Soviet sector of East Germany).  The American side responded with the Berlin Airlift to keep West Berlin free of Soviet control.

These were some of the events  fueling tensions in the Cold War that was developing between the USA and its democratic allies and the USSR and its communist partners.

America's first government was weak.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

B) True.

Explanation:

America's first government was inadequately prepared and weak for a number of reasons.

Firstly, the U.S. government could not print money, and when they could, the US currency was useless outside of the United States.

Secondly, the U.S. could not impose taxes in a federal level for fear of public outcry, especially as they had just broken away from Great Britain for the very reason of taxes. This meant that the U.S. government had no funds for any governmental actions.

Thirdly, the federal government had no foreign relations powers. Each state individually made trade deals and alliances with different nations, independent on each other.

Fourthly, the U.S. was not able to make good on their war debts and promises to investors, both at home and also foreigners.
