Blog Entry 10- Roaring Twenties

This game was great fun! It is amazing how time changed everything so quickly. Now, instead of little production the country was producing immensely. I noticed that women gained more rights then before. Before the 20s as I recall from my history class, women had no rights at all. They had to stay home and work there and feed their children. But now, as time changed women could go shopping, work in factories, go to the beach, and go to nightclubs to enjoy life. They also had the rights to go study in universities. I like how women dressed so properly. They had well fitted outfits for each event and if they did not have good clothes on they were seen as different. In clubs, if the dress was too short the doorman would kick the woman out. (??) Another example was that for university... "dark clothes" were proper. Why would that be? Women now had a great time in the sun and the beach instead of worrying if they were getting darker. Now, having a golden tan was considered nice and fashionable.

As I was playing the game... I noticed that women in the 1920s gained more importance. Not only where they working but they also were important for the family. I also like the fact that it was so easy to sit and enjoy an airplane ride (But with the right amount of money!) Women could be seen outside smoking and drinking in nightclubs. It all changed drastically. Because of the changes at that time women now can work and have a better life. I also tried to play as a man for the night club game and saw that it was important to dress nicely in order to show their wealth.

Songs were much more appreciated.  And technology also helped change the society into an era of wealth and change.
