  1. Hi, My name is Sarah Psyllium in my first topic
  2. is going to be music, clothing and dance in the
  3. 19 twenties, the 19 twenties, where it's time for reform
  4. and prosperity for many Americans and there was new forms
  5. of leisure available.
  6. However, not everyone agreed with these new forms of leisure,
  7. and this created a culture war in America against two
  8. groups, the modernists and traditionalists.
  9. Popular activities debated upon included jazz music, the Lindy hop
  10. and flapper dresses, as well as straight skirts becoming increasingly
  11. popular. The red light represents the traditionalists.
  12. They were very much wanting to stop the cultural Trained
  13. in the 19 twenties.
  14. There are very religious group, and they believed in long
  15. held cultural values.
  16. And they even believe that laws should be passed to
  17. limit what women should wear.
  18. The average traditionalist woman was very modest and believed that
  19. showing skin was immoral, and so they were obviously not
  20. for the parties and the music and the recklessness of
  21. the 19 twenties.
  22. The modernist are represented by the green light.
  23. The modernists wanted to continue the cultural change in the
  24. 19 twenties.
  25. They are people who embraced new ideas, styles and social
  26. trends. So the modernists were young adults who often wore
  27. flowery dresses and party and supported people who did they
  28. believed in our education and happiness and personal freedom.
  29. And the yellow light is represented by the centralist, which
  30. is my opinion, and I personally fall along the modernist
  31. side because I believe in individuality and expression are very
  32. important things.
  33. If everything stays the same, then there will never be
  34. any positive change.
  35. Expressing myself through clothing and listening to music while dancing
  36. along are things that bring me and so many others
  37. joy. That's so I do not believe that there should
  38. be a ban on it.
  39. My next topic is evolution.
  40. Evolution is characterized by the changes in a species characteristics
  41. over several generations.
  42. The traditionalists were very religious and so therefore they did
  43. not believe in evolution because it's really a scientific fact.
  44. Modernists believed in evolution because they believed in new ideas
  45. and in science and education.
  46. Um, and centralist is represented by my opinion, and my
  47. opinion is that evolution is real because it has been
  48. proven by many scientific sources.
  49. My next topic will be prohibition.
  50. During the 19 twenties, alcohol and alcohol abuse became a
  51. very prominent thing.
  52. So the Prohibition era was an area era of trying
  53. to make and making alcohol illegal.
  54. Red light is represented by the traditionalists because the traditionalists
  55. were very religious, they were pro prohibition because they saw
  56. the effect that it was having on so many families,
  57. and alcohol was not exactly supported by their religious beliefs.
  58. The modernists, however, were often very young and agreed with
  59. partying, so they were pro.
  60. I mean, they were anti prohibition, but pro alcohol centralist
  61. would be my idea.
  62. Um, and for Prohibition, I actually side more on the
  63. traditionalist side because I did see that it was truly
  64. affecting families in a negative way.
  65. And so many people had substance abuse problems that, I
  66. think in the 19 twenties, Prohibition was probably the best
  67. source. My next topic is the first red scare.
  68. The first red scare was between the 1917 and the
  69. 19 twenties.
  70. In the first red scare was a period during the
  71. early 20th century where there was ride spread, extreme left
  72. ideas. The first red scare occurred due to fear of
  73. communism. The green is represented by the modernist and the
  74. modernist were probably very pro red Scare and new ideas
  75. because the modernists believed in the new ideas and education
  76. and new deals being created.
  77. Traditionalists were probably very against it because they were very
  78. religious and very strict and they didn't believe in change.
  79. Um, as a centralist, which being my idea, I believe
  80. that there should be no communism.
  81. Communism, although good in theory, has never proven to work.
  82. My next topic will be women's suffrage.
  83. The women's suffrage movement was a movement in order to
  84. get women the rights to vote and get more rights
  85. in society and change the cultural view on women in
  86. society. The traditionalists believed in long held cultural values, and
  87. so therefore they were not fans of the suffrage movement
  88. and they did not like change.
  89. The modernists were pro suffrage movement and we're very four
  90. new ideas and new reforms and education, um, as being
  91. representative for the centralist being my opinion.
  92. I believe in women's suffrage because I believe that obviously
  93. women deserve the right to vote and the right to
  94. do anything they want to do
