Modernism has influenced the structure of America. In order to understand modernism, you must have to understand how it came to play at what it is. Modernism began in the early 1900’s and lasted almost until the 1960’s. It started because nobody wanted to deal with the trauma of World War I and World War 2, which both took place in a single era. So, people started to reject their traditional values and began to adapt to new lifestyles where could do whatever they want without being bound to social restrictions. However it didn’t only affect society, it also changed the way literature could be written. In literature, modernism gave birth to groundbreaking works that experimented with narrative forms, presenting new perspectives on reality and thoughts. However, it had huge changes on society, an example of this is flappers, the proper etiquette for women was to work in the home, but flappers changed this etiquette and brought extreme feminism into the world by wearing flashy cloths and sleeping with random dudes. Modernism continued to unravel Americas traditional moral values things like cancel culture, feminism, and free thinking started to emerge, however after people’s trauma from the war began to fade so did modernism. However, all its ideals continued to effect America and whittle away at the common Americans’ lifestyle. Traditional families used to heavily be main dominated and extremely religious. For an example around 91% of people were christens, however nowadays is only 63%. Modernism really influenced the way America functioned, even though the lost generation (generation that created modernism) ended the ideals of modern continue to shape America demanding equality, freedom, and pleasure while straying further and further from the old-fashioned core American values. In essence Modernism wasn't just a rejection of tradition; it was a celebration of freedom, and self-expression. Its legacy endures, shaping the way Americans think about tradition and culture.

What happend to cancel culture?

Image
  Most of us are familiar with cancel culture, it’s when somebody is publicly executed online for saying something wrong. However, is it used for the right or wrong reasons? I can’t deny that it has been crucial for punishing various famous public figures for their acts of sexual abuse, predatory behavior, fraud, racism, or forms of scandal. Look at EDP445, a former YouTuber accused of predatory behavior, shows the impact of cancel culture. The internet came together to completely erase his presence on the platform, and publicly shun him. However, the misuse of cancel culture is increasingly prevalent, resulting in significant harm to innocent individuals. Some groups figured out that they could exploit cancel culture to silence opposing viewpoints or push their own agendas, regardless of the facts or context. An example of this is the word police, the world police have begun to use cancel culture to morph society to follow their agenda. Take Andrew Tate for an example, a huge role m

 https://www.theonion.com/biden-chases-soap-bubble-across-nation-1851265130   This was the satirical news letter that I read. " WASHINGTON—Clapping with delight while attempting to catch the thin, floating film of cleaning liquid, President Joe Biden chased a soap bubble across the nation Thursday, Beltway sources confirmed. “Come back, Mr. Bubble!” said the commander in chief, who reportedly gave chase to the bubble after spotting it emerging from the White House kitchen, drawing the curious president onto the West Lawn and down Pennsylvania Avenue as he avoided several near-misses with cars and 16-wheelers, finally embarking on the 1,656-mile cross-country journey that brought him to the Great Plains where he giggled with visible joy as a gust took the bubble in the direction of Yellowstone National Park. “You’re being so silly—even sillier than when you landed on that goose’s head and almost let me catch you. But that’s why I love you so much. You’re my

I want a wife

 How accurate was the “I want a wife” piece? The "I Want a Wife" piece which is written by Judy Brady is obviously a satirical piece of work that attempts to show gender roles and expectations for women within marriage. However, its solely catering to a feminist audience, so wont she just have a biased opinion? Brady’s entire piece is basically just criticizing men while empowering women in an attempt to lie about everything wife’s do. Yes, some of the things she says is true but if you combine everything she says and look at it logically it seems highly unlikely that a wife does all of what she says. Brady portrays the role of a wife as a gruesome task where they sacrifice their entire life to server under their tyrannical ogre of a husband. She provides unreasonable standards of what a wife does and makes it out to seem that every wife is perfect and hardworking while they slave away under their husbands just to be “replaced” if a “more suitable wife” appears. She says that
