CULTURE AND LIFE ASPECT OF THE 1920S 2
Culture and Life Aspect of the 1920s
Life in the 1920s is like a party. People are sneaking into private homes for drinking
parties. Due to prohibition laws, people are meeting in secret bars called Speakeasies (Goodman,
1999). There is so much profit to make from illegal alcohol. It is a ruthless business that involves
gangs. Gangs are killing each other for alcohol selling territories. Despite these gang-related
crimes, everything else is fantastic. There is a drink called orange blossoms, a mixture of gin and
orange juice. The home parties are in retaliation to prohibition laws. What makes the parties
more fun is how women are outgoing than before. However, it is only in towns that women are
outgoing. Rural America remains conservative, and the practice of Christianity prevails. A
landmark decision that women are proud of is the right to vote. It is the right to vote for women
that propelled women seeking equal rights as men (Baydo & Newman, 2008). Besides, they are
more vibrant in terms of dressing, dating, and partying. Despite the various women's rights, the
expectation of women conforming to marriage and family life remain important.
New York is the epicenter of diversity. People from different races and ethnic
backgrounds come here often. They interact and mingle freely. The best places to visit are
Broadway for entertainment, Madison for advertising, and Wall Street is the hub for economic
opportunities (Goodman, 1999). Entertainment in New York leaves people wanting more. The
music is phenomenal. People go to Harlem to listen to Jazz. They enjoy music from Louis
Armstrong, but the one that people love the most is Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington. Harlem
also has a new movement the government love to call the Harlem Renaissance. It is defined by
the social, political, and ideological changes African Americans are experiencing. Due to the
changes, African Americans are calling themselves the New Negros.
