...Summary of the Great Depression INTRODUCTION The economy of the United States entered a depression in the summer of 1929. Beginning with a stock crash, the depression saw a “Black Thursday” and a following “Black Tuesday” on both of which the shares were massively traded after a wave of panic swept by Wall Street (HISTORY). With the stock market bubble burst, the households and firms both lost confidence in market, resulting in prices and economic declining. The unemployment rate of the United States rose by 607% from 1929 to 1932. At the same time, the industrial product dropped by 46% (Blum et al. 885). Consumption and investment both plummeted. What’s more, the dairy farmers dumped milk, while many people were suffering starvation. Bank...

...the Great Depression, some of which include “The Great Crash” of the stock market, lack of spending by the average person, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and a massive drought in the Mississippi Valley. From this nation-wide crisis came Social Security as we know it, the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, the creation of the SEC and stricter banking and stock market regulations. Overall the Great Depression had a large impact on The United States that can still be seen today. Causes of the Great Depression In January of 1929 an editorial (Encyclopedia of American Studies, 2010) said “It has been twelve months of unprecedented advance, of wonderful prosperity. If there is any way of judging the future by the past, this new year will be one of felicitation and hopefulness.” This was obviously not the case. When the stock market crashed on October 29, 1929, it was possibly the greatest contributing factor to the depression. Some believe, though incorrectly, that the “Great Crash” is the same as the great depression. The stock market crash had people scared to spend money. People no longer bought nearly as many products which led to a drop in production, which in turn led to layoffs in the work force. Coupled with these layoffs, were huge debts being defaulted on by stock holders; this all inevitably to the failure or closing of many banks. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was passed in June 1930 to protect farmers affected by the Great Depression...

...Depression in Teens Andrea Alessio Grand Canyon University Concepts in Community and Public Health NRS 427-V Kamala Steel January 29, 2016 Depression in Teens It came to this writer’s attention a few months back that something needed to be done about depression in teens. It states that 5% of teens in the United States suffer from depression (Poncelet, 2015). As a Psychiatric RN, most types of depression have passed this way. There are two types, but both can intertwine at some point. Noticeably now a days, many are coming into the unit depressed by bullying. The cause of picking this topic was something this writer came across in the community paper. It was a high school student who did not know what depression was and what she was feeling, until her best friend died. She went to the Board of Education meeting to bring up teaching this subject in their curriculum. It has still not been decided. Another concern was the rate of suicide over the past few years in the community. After just explaining the rational for this paper, you will also learn the summary of the teaching plan chosen to get the information of depression to teens, how it felt and the experience learned while doing it, the response of the lesson taught, and lastly what areas of strengths and weaknesses could be worked on further. The summary of the teaching plan was to get the most across in the least amount of time. Making sure all the important issues dealing with depression were covered this...

... The spark of life, and the fuels that is our emotions can cause a flame that can never be put out. Looking for any possible way to stop the burning, some jump into the dark, flowing water to where our existence come to an end. The poem “Suicide’s Note” by Langston Hughes talks about the thought of ending it all. I believe “Suicide’s Notes” is about how Hughes feels killing himself is a way he can escape all his pain. Langston Hughes was born in the Great Depression, and I am going to assume this is the main reason why he wrote this poem. During the Great Depression America's suicide rate was through the roof do to the mass poverty that crippled the country. The poem doesn't directly state this, but I can infer because of my background on Langston Hughes.The first and second lines of the poem it states, “The calm,/Cool face of the river ”(Hughes 1-2).The river in the poem is a metaphor for escape. The way Hughes described the river made it seem like death was a good option. I can connect this back to the Great Depression...

...The Great Depression and World War II Twentieth Century Europe One of the major effects of the great depression was the breakdown of the economy. A few years prior to the developments that led to the great depression, the economy was doing a good job providing jobs to the people and giving them the right amount of purchasing power to buy the things that they need and want. The breakdown of the economy led to a lot of secondary effects. For one, the economic breakdown led to the closing of a lot of businesses and the consequent loss of a lot of people’s jobs. The loss of the people’s jobs or what they call unemployment in economics led to another wave or series of negative effects such as their inability to pay rent and buy goods that they need. To emphasize the overall effects of the ripple that the economic breakdown created, what it did was it led to the loss of the ordinary citizens’ purchasing power. This proved to be one of the major causes of the worsening of the effects of the Great Depression. Jobs were basically generated because of the presence of the businesses and if businesses were strong, the more likely they are to provide jobs. Unfortunately, during that time, the businesses were not so strong. In fact, they were so fragile and brittle that a lot of ordinary citizens lost their jobs, and because of the considerably lowered purchasing power, a lot of businesses suffered—because the ordinary people did not have the means to make purchases from businesses...

...companionship. When Lennie and Candy both enter Crooks' room, Steinbeck writes, "It was difficult for Crooks to conceal his pleasure with anger" (Steinbeck 70). With this passage, it is apparent that Crooks' loneliness is substantial enough for two people entering his room in one night to be significant. Finally, the sacrifices of Curley's wife display the effects of loneliness and the necessity of companionship. Lennie and Curley's wife are in the barn when she tells him about why she married Curley and never achieved her dreams and says, "I can't talk to nobody but Curley" (Steinbeck 87-88). This quote shows how Curley's wife expected Curley to provide ample companionship, but now she realizes that she sacrificed her dreams for nothing. In summary, three ways Steinbeck uses characters to demonstrate the need for companionship are by displaying Candy's internal conflict, Crooks' attitude, and Curley's...
