History

Explanation:

Women, most of whom never worked outside the home, were in high demand to work at all types of factories and businesses. Nearly a million women were employed in jobs previously held by men.

Prior to the war, the women’s campaign for the right to vote fell on deaf ears. Afterward, even President Wilson urged Congress to pass the 19th amendment, which succeeded in 1920.

Future President Herbert Hoover was appointed the director of the newly created U.S. Food Administration. Hoover encouraged citizens to plant “victory gardens” or personal gardens. This is the genesis of the “urban gardens” we know today. Over 20 million gardens were planted and U.S. food consumption decreased by 15%, conserving food for the troops.

One of the largest shifts in population in the 20th century was the movement African Americans made from the south to be employed in northern factories. Ford Motor Co. was a leader in the employment of minorities.

The power of the federal government, and that of the President in particular, greatly expanded during the War, which has carried on to this day.

The medical field greatly advanced especially in the treatment of mental disorders, limb replacement, and plastic surgery. Many people trace the beginning of medical specialists to this period.

Volunteerism expanded. The Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts enjoyed a growth in membership and interest in their collective efforts and groups.

The horrors of war ushered in “The Roaring ’20s,” with an-anything-goes attitude and a quest for fun, fashion, and frolicking. “How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree” was a whimsical chorus to help explain the population shift from the farm to cities.

For the first time, middle-class Americans traveled overseas to visit countries and cities they came to know in the War. European tourism increased as Americans wanted to visit battlefields and grave sites.

Despite isolationist sentiments, after the War, the United States became a world leader in industry, economics, and trade. The world became more connected to each other which ushered in the beginning of what we call the “world economy.”

Why is it important for judges to write opinion papers
ludmilkaskok [199]

Writing opinions helps judges think through complex issues forcing the judge to carefully consider the reasons for the judgement rendered.  Judges also take pride in their decisions and want affirmation that they are correct, however it doesn't always happen.  Hope this helped!

What would be some advantages that unitary and confederate governments have over a federalist governments
mariarad [96]
<span>
Unitary government controls weaker states in which the power is not shared between states or province, the advantage is that they have uniform laws throughout the country and having orderliness and stability. While the Confederate government is a federation of independent states where the advantage is that it prevents the growth of a large central government by keeping the power at local levels making the several states cooperate regarding common concern. The federal government’s power, unlike the unitary and confederate government, was divided between central and local government where they have their own set of rules, and officials.<span>
