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.

<span>The Tell Tale Heart is an example of literature from the romantic era because how its written its written in a first person format. Poe's use of his imagination and taking risks on ideas that had never been used before makes this work a work from the romantic era. In this piece, the main character had murdered and chopped up a body, but later said that he could hear the old mans heart beat. Really I believe it was his own self concise taking hold and his guilt for what he had done. Poe was so unconventional always taking risks way beyond his time</span>
