The great depressions effects on thinking of those effected

The depression was a time period in American society that destoried the psychological being of all of those who had to suffer. Families were forced to live closer together in more confined spaces, which took away there feeling of privacy and pride as people saw there weak side. Men suffered greatly from this despression; all of the "pride" that they have built up crashed to the ground as the money supply depleted and all the incentives they earned themselves has vanished before there eyes. All of this added stress led to problems with friendships, relationships, and marriages that made bad situations even worse than they once were. The depression ultimately changed the goals and expectations of every day citizens because people believed this was how life was going to be forever, and there is nothing they could have done to change it.

  1. Hi Evan,

    It looks like you completed question #5 instead of #6. Do you want to edit your post and complete question 6 instead? E-mail me to let me know if you want to make the assignment up.
