#57 (Social Tensions) 
and #58 (Causes and Consequences).

3. Complete the Key Questions (1914-1945), "The Jazz Age/Roaring 20's" 
1. Why did the United States, which had welcomed so many millions of immigrants for nearly a century,  suddenly become so fearful of immigration in the 1920s that it virtually ended mass immigration for two decades?

2. To what extent was the Scopes Trial only about competing theories of human origins, 
and to what extent was it a focal point for deeper concerns regarding the role of religion 
and traditional moral authorities in American life and the new cultural power of science?

3. Was the new mass culture as reflected in Hollywood films and radio a source of moral and social change, 
or did it really reinforce the essentially conservative business and social values of the time? 
(Consider the role of commercial advertising in particular.)

4. Were the intellectual critics of the 1920s really disillusioned with the fundamental character of American life,  or were they actually loyal to a vision of a better America, and only hiding their idealism behind a veneer of disillusionment and irony?


FRIDAY 
Finish Thursday's HW, and please take notes on the PPT you received via email.  In case you can't see it...
