Media Influences on American Culture
Cultural ideals are transmitted through media. From an early
start we tell our children
what is right from wrong through spoken stories and fables. As
they grow up, no matter what
generation they were a part of, we then allowed our youth to be
transformed and shaped by
music, fashion, radio, the news, entertainment such as movie and
television shows and even by
the music choices they made.
Culture Changes
The Twenties and Thirties. Before the Great depression hit,
there was the early starts of
Television but most had only The Newspaper and Radio. its the
Era of the Flapper girl, big
bands, Speakeasies and the prohibition. The 20's alone is a
prime example of how Media
influenced American Culture, world war one started around this
time as well. so look to the
pinups that came showing things for the navy and the picture of
Uncle Sam.
toward the end of World War One, America had to deal with the
crash of the stock
market. when the stock market crashed about roughly 4 million
people lost jobs, homes and a
number of other things. this caused us to have to borrow from
other countries like China. the
main reason why the we had to deal with the great depression at
that time was because people
though it was ok to just keep spending and keep borrowing
money.
