History is a subject that I have learned to enjoy over the course of my education, so narrowing my favorite topics down to two was a hard choice that took a lot of thought. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that The Great War and The Roaring Twenties were the topics I enjoyed most. World War I was a completely new topic for me, never learning about it in my past education. I think this is why it was easy for me to learn it, a new topic brought in a new curiosity. Knowing my Great Grandpa fought in The Great War also caused my curiosity about this topic to flourish. I definitely paid more attention in this topic compared to others. The Roaring Twenties was another favorite topic of mine. During this topic, we individually completed an interactive

    The 1920's was a time of change in the United States. “The Roaring Twenties” had an outstanding impact on the economy, social standards and everyday life. It was a time for positive results in the industry of consumer goods and American families, because of higher wages, shorter working hours, and manufacturing was up 60% in consumer goods. But it was also a time of adversity and opposition for others, such as immigrants and farmers. Immigrants had lots of competition when they were looking for work and they weren't treated fairly by Americans, depending on where they came from and what they believed. Farmers were paid very little because the price of food kept going down, they also had the Dust Bowl to worry about. African Americans became further infused with mainstream America during the Harlem Renaissance. They were also able to organize and elect officials who would make life better for them. The Roaring Twenties was a very exciting time to live in and we can all learn what the real world is like, and how we can prepare to be ready for it, today and in the future.

  • Essay On Impact Of Technology On Military

    1520 Words  | 4 Pages

    While I was a little frustrated at the focus on tactics at the beginning, I began to realize that the purpose of studying them was not to learn about specific tactics, but to learn how revolutions in those tactics came to be (i.e. technology, doctrinal changes, and organizational changes). I also had never considered the impact of the social, economic, and political changes on warfare. I found the social aspects to be especially interesting. At first, I thought it to be a little pointless to look at all these things because I thought, “When will we ever be faced with a big change in our government or economic system like that again?” After studying so many different examples in history though, I began to realize that, like the tactics, it’s not about those specific changes (because those exact changes will probably never happen again), but it is about changing the way you think about those changes.
