Module Objectives Understand the connections between the emergence of the United States as an imperial power and the increasing size and power of the U.S. government. Examine the role of individuals, larger groups, and the public in influencing or making public policy. Consider the place of the United States on the world stage in World War I and its aftermath. Explain the seeming contradictions of the 1920s: Prohibition and the Jazz Age; the horrors of WWI and the exuberance of The Roaring 20s; the Harlem Renaissance and the re-segregation of the Federal government; and the democratization of the Stock Market and the power of big businesses. Examine the many facets of the era known as the Great Depression and the New Deal. **** M3 Discussion 2: The Great Depression and the New Deal Many of the themes of this module center on social and political responses to periods of tumultuous change. For this post, choose four different types of people who lived during the Great Depression and the New Deal, and discuss what they would think about the United States throughout the period. Make an effort to be diverse in your choices because that will allow you to explore a variety of viewpoints. After all, America is not just one thing about anything. Also make sure you are connecting them to what happened in history. There is a great deal of latitude here for you to choose types of individuals. The types can come from occupations, locations, social status, gender, age, etc. Evaluation criteria Please support your post and its analysis with material drawn from your sources, but make sure that all of the writing is your own; in other words, do not use direct quotes or paraphrases. First, learn the narrative parts (the things that happened in history), think about them, ask yourself questions about them, and then use the topic as a framework to explain your analysis. CLIENT UPDATE +++++ Hi- this is for the discussion. The New Deal - Wikipedia has a good overview
