Consider the Roaring 20’s, the Great War and World War II. (For example: How did the lives of Americans change over these 25-30 years? What inventions emerged? How did the average housewife’s duties change or become easier? What were the roles of women in these decades? Were these a plus or did they affect them negatively? How did industry and the overall move to industrialization change the American landscape (gas stations, hotels, etc.)? What changed about the grocery store? How did the sudden increased availability of food change the way Americans behaved? Did they seize opportunity, or did they shy away from it? How did America become more mobile?)
