Men were all treated as if they were the king of the world or someone who was really famous. Men were treated in a very “elegant” or “better” way. Coney Island has always been a little different than other places and Coney Island has always been a type of place with a little bit more of “equality.” Coney Island has a very diverse environment there is all types of things like amusement parks and hotels it is like a modern day Las Vegas. This environment was perfect for male’s and female’s to bond together and treat each other equally. In the type of environment that Coney Island had, men and women were starting to enjoy themselves and they started to forget about the horrible past that women had. Although men were still being treated the same because men were never abused this was just like an “upgrade” for them.

During the late nineteenth century, America was undergoing a cultural change in society. An island with Amusement Parks and vast beaches was underway in development to change the face of America in ways no one could have imagined at the time. The island was referred to as Coney Island. Coney Island Amusement Parks was built in a span of 30 years that would provide the American people a place to relax and enjoy time together with their friends and family. As a whole, Coney Island at the turn of the century, offered the ways of the future in distinctive ways; through technological advances of the era. Around 1900, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company created steam railways that connected Manhattan and Brooklyn, thus making Coney Island much more accessible to people living the city (Source 2). Coney Island was a symbol of America in the early twentieth century, where all of America’s values and traditions were defined and brought into one place. In a sense, Coney Island took Americans from the Victorian age, to a more modern and futuristic sense of what America could potentially become. Changing economic and social conditions helped to create the basis of new mass culture that was carried on into the new century (Source 1)

This is a parallel to the cultural changes going on at the time, brought about in part by Coney Island. The new "mass culture" gave people a newly found sense of liberation from older, more restrictive values even though part of the reason why people were adopting this new culture was societal pressure.

Kasson states that Coney Islands earliest attraction as a resort center was its lax regard to strict social situations. The first social rigidity to be disregarded was the mode of clothing, where beach goers preferred less rigid clothes as compared to street people simply because they wanted to relax and forget about their work environment for a period. Supporters of the situation would argue that Coney Island is a recreational place where people come to unwind and relax hence the mode of clothing could not be strict. Detractors would also argue their point in that Coney Island is a social place hence beach goers should take consideration of the gathering as a whole.

As I walked through the crowds of people young and old wearing Disney apparel and Mickey Mouse ears, everything seemed so enchanting: the cheerful music, the twinkly lights on all of the buildings, and the stores that could have been from my favorite Disney movies. Walking along the streets, I took pictures of everything around me because I did not want to forget a single detail; I took pictures of the vibrant yellow, red, and pink flowers that lined the streets, the buildings with intricate details and designs, and the massive roller coasters that glided so swiftly on their tracks.
