) new forms of mass culture emerged in the united states in the 1920s and in the 1950s. briefly explain one important similarity

MissTica

The 1920s and 1950s are similar in the sense that a new culture emerged. One similarity between these time periods is that they represent the United States emerging from a World War. World War I (1914-1919) and World War II (1939-1945) were two enormous global events that affected American society and alter what culture develops afterwards.

One common culture that developed during the 20's and 50's was consumerism. Consumerism is an social and economic idea that focuses on developing products that will interest the consumer (aka buyer). During both eras, companies began to advertise items in a manner that convinced American citizens to buy them. This rise of consumerism resulted in the increased purchase of items that people wanted, but didn't necessarily need.

Even though most Americans would fall into this category, there were some critics to this consumer culture. During the 1950's the Beatnik generation developed as an anti-conformist culture. Some of them saw capitalism and the increased consumerism in American society as negative.

Brut [27]

A student recorded the following observations from an experiment. Identify whether each statement is a fact or an opinion.

1) Petunia A is 9.0 cm tall. Fact

In this case, the student could measure the petunia to know the height with a meter. This fact can be supported by looking at the meter.

2) Petunia C is prettier than petunia D. Opinion

In this case, the student says that the petunia C is prettier than petunia D based in his background knowledge, his beliefs and views; everyone can have a different opinion of how a petunia looks like.

3) Petunia B smells bad. Fact

In this case, it is known that petunias are among the type of flowers that smell bad. Their smell is described sometimes as earthy smell

4) The leaves on petunia C have turned yellow. Fact

In this case, it is a direct perception of the color what the student uses to say that the leaves on petunia c have turned yellow.

5) Petunia D has grown 5.0 cm in five days. Fact

In this case, it is easy for the student to get that fact, he only has to use his meter to know how much petunia D has grown. It is an undisputable fact supported again by the meter.

6) Petunia A is too close to the light. Opinion

In this case, it is a personal perception that does not have to be objective; depending on the type of the experiment, it might be bad to have the petunia too close to the light. We can never know because we do not know what type of experiment he is making, and we do not know the measure to keep the petunia away from the light in an exact way. We do not know either on what basis he is supporting that fact of the petunia being too close to the light

7) Petunia B is 2.0 cm taller than petunia C. Fact

Again, the student very easily can have an objective measure using the meter to know the height of petunia B in relation to petunia C.
