The Roaring Twenties: The Good And The Bad?

The Good and the Bad ?
The Roaring Twenties was one of the names to describe the time of the author of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley. Though this time period seemed to been filled with fun and games, there were many social issues happening. Some of these topics include the role of women in society and dying and death. However some topics have changed, such as the role of children in society. Are the changes good or bad?
One of the most changing topics in the 1930’s was the role of women in society. They started to work more because their work during the war was being recognized. Divorce became easier to achieve and many women divorced their husbands. Even though, the women were starting to gain more freedom, most of them were housewives and

did not have as many rights as men.
As decades flew by women’s roles in society evolved. Today, women can vote, go out without their husbands and a single working mom is normal. The percentage of single working mother homes skyrocketed to “84 percent”, according to singlemotherguide.com. Even though it seems as if women’s roles in society have changed so drastically, in twenty countries, women can not attend school. Hopefully with time, that number will finally reach zero.
Dying and death is considered a taboo topic in this time era. When a loved one dies, people are expected to push it under the rug, not talk about it, and sometimes forget. “More than two-thirds of the population believe people in the UK feel to uncomfortable about dying and death to plan properly,” says independent.uk. Since people feel uncomfortable talking about dying so much, if they do not plan then once they pass, it is up to the family to make arrangements. Which can cause stress from not knowing what to do or how the passed person will feel. Dying and death is taboo, but with planning ahead families will be able to open up more.
