Critique

The thesis "During the 1920's a gap in society was created by the new modernist viewpoint" was very clear, concise, and debateable, and also was well defended by examples in the society, politics, and economy of the 20's. The economic boost that the radio created opened the doorway for new influences in music and broadcasting. This craze brought out the "Flappers" with era defining clothing, dancing, lingo, etc. Also, the politics of America have been changed. No longer can schools force the learning of Creation upon its students with the Ruling of the John Scopes Trial. Although the fundamentalist obtained prohibition, truely they didnt accomplish much with bootlegging becoming very common and government officials being paid off. The 1920's pushed the old fundamentalist thinking out in evry aspect of the American society creating a social revolution. This revolution occurs often with the changing of generations.

Connection

"The Fab Five" the Michigan staring lineup of the 1991 consisted of Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson. These players revolutionized the Basketball/Athletic world known today. The Traditional short-shorts warn by the majority of the college and professional Basketball teams came to an end when these five men stepped onto the court wearing long, knee-length shorts. Along with the Hip-hop style they brought to the game, they also brought something usually not recognized. Black Crew Socks were once thought of as "old man socks" that the retired basketball community wore. When worn on the court along with their baggy shorts, the Fab Five created a new style for athletes in the U.S. Today on the court these two uniform assets are rarley not seen.
