The Affluent Society of the 1950s was an era that largely embraced conformity (fitting-in with the dominant culture); however, that was not universally true. Some writers, poets, and musicians known as [BLANK-1] flaunted the conformity of the 1950s. They were cynical about the commercialism and consumerism associated with capitalism, and they challenged traditional gender roles. They sought a deeper meaning to life by travelling the country, adopting elements of Eastern religions, and experimenting with drugs, sex, and art.

Ronald Reagan’s optimistic re-election campaign slogan in 1984 was [BLANK-1]. Reagan’s popularity was on the rise following low unemployment numbers, a brief improvement in the economy, and his ability to put a political spin on his social security austerity measures in order to take credit for strengthening a program beloved by most Americans. Reagan won re-election easily over Democrat Walter Mondale, winning 49 out of 50 states.

OPEC was principally responsible for [BLANK-1] in 1973, when the organization placed an oil embargo on the United States due to its support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War. The embargo had a nearly immediate effect, as the global cost of oil quadruped, gas shortages arose in the United States, and the U.S. economy tanked. The economic decline accelerated Americans’ disenchantment with the United States’ role in the world and the efficacy and quality of its leaders. In many ways, it helped lead to the American Malaise of the 1970s.

Part 3 Essay Question [40%]:Your essay should have an introduction with a clear and specific thesis, a body with evidence, and a conclusion that reinforces your central argument. Select the option you feel the most comfortable with and answer it to the best of your ability.Choose ONE (1) of the following options:What is Lost Cause Mythology and how has it affected United States history (including its effects on the present era)? Who is most closely associated with the Lost Cause Myth? Why do you suppose that is? Why do some historians claim that the South won the Civil War? What evidence supports their claims?Why do historians refer to the last quarter of the nineteenth century as the Gilded Age? In what ways did both the American economy and American politics outwardly appear healthy? How would a less-superficial examination of the economy and politics of the United States reveal more-serious flaws?What factors made Chicago an important “Gateway City” during the Second Industrial Revolution? How did Chicago become a strong example of the “Modern City?” What was its role in the development of the United States as a mass consumer society? Describe the connection between nature and urbanity in the city. How did the White City become a symbol for all of these things (i.e. Chicago as a gateway city, as a modern city, as a catalyst for mass consumer society, etc.)?

During WWI, many women in the United States filled administrative jobs in the War and Navy Departments. One such group were army telephone operators, known as [BLANK-1]. The gendered transition of these jobs freed more men to join combat units.

[BLANK-1] was a political cartoon that appeared in Puck in 1904, which satirized John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil monopoly. The cartoon featured Standard Oil as an anthropomorphized octopus with its tentacles around the media, the White House, Supreme Court, and Capitol Building. The message was clear – Rockefeller’s monopolistic firm was so big and so powerful that it was even controlling the government and the media.

President [BLANK-1]’s administration was typical of the pro-business Republican White House of the 1920s and would go down as one of the most corrupt in American history. This president promised a “Return to Normalcy” following WWI, kept the United States largely out of foreign affairs, and staffed federal regulatory agencies with anti-regulatory, pro-business conservatives (a policy that largely contributed to the Great Depression). He died in office of a heart attack, perhaps brought on by the notoriety of his numerous scandals, including the Teapot Dome Scandal, his reliance on corrupt friends from Ohio known as the Ohio Gang, and the revelation of his extramarital affair with Nan Britton.
