Humanities Homework Help

Answer the two questions as thoroughly as you can in two separate responses.

The response to each question should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. A thorough answer will likely require 3-4 paragraphs. While there is no word-limit, this assignment asks you to utilize the skills you have developed to write clearly and craft concise paragraphs. Think about what you want to say before you start writing. Be sure every sentence you write is contributing directly to answering the question and not just filling space.

Cite any direct quotations or paraphrased textual evidence, for example: (Oakley, 30).

1. Why was there an economic boom in the United States during the 1950s? What were the main contributing factors that produced economic “good times” for such a large number of Americans?
2. How, as a result of the good economic times, did many Americans’ daily lives change — often, though not always — for the better?
