The Great Depression and World War II Shaped My Grandma's Life

Great depression and World War II shaped my grandmother's life My grandmother, Alma, was born in Dublin just outside Duran in Oklahoma State Silo in 1935. Her birth certificate proved that she was born in Durant. Because the silo is too small to be considered a real city. She lives on the farm with her parents Orval and Maggie Dale. This is the middle of the Great Depression, they are family of peasants, no one seems to be able to make a living on this land. To compensate for their income, Orval and his father work for the Work Progress Authority (WPA).

The general paradox is that the Great Depression ended in explosive expenditure during the Second World War. However, the Second World War actually institutionalized a sharp decline in the standard of living caused by the Great Depression. At the end of World War II, as a result of the sudden decline in taxes and regulations, contrary to what Keynesian so - called economists analyzed, the Great Depression actually ended and prosperity recovered. According to statistics, GDP growth rate during war. However, this only reflects statistical analysis of incorrect definitions. Production and calculation of military guns, tanks, boats and aircraft that show an increase in GDP do not reflect the increase in living standards of working people or someone else. Just as it is social benefit to liberate Saddam Hussein from power, this victory is a social benefit. However, these are not economical goods or services, so you should not calculate in this way.

When I grew up in Houston during the Great Depression, I shaped my image around the radio. My neighbor is not a place to make me remind that I should go to such a distant star. Yes - this excites me even today - 20 years later I am a New York City reporter, I met my childhood hero Murrow. As you know, American dreams let me master. Because I am fortunate to have my own version. There is no typical American or typical American dream. For some people dreams are a kind of freedom, for some people this is wealth, family or service. Some people place importance on the pursuit of happiness and innovation. But whatever you define, it defines us as a person.

In the days after World War II, there are optimism and contempt for sickness orientation throughout the United States as well as other aspects of social life. After the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Korean War, invincibility and perseverance were part of Americans. In the face of adversity, the hopeful attitude seems to be essentially a part of virtue, American way. There is a good reason for being optimistic. Physics, chemistry, engineering, and - for most people, the most important - the amazing progress of medicine will occur almost every day. Treatment of hitherto fatal diseases such as pneumonia, septicemia, renal failure and severe trauma are common. Disease is increasingly being viewed as a problem that needs to be addressed. I feel that medicine can stop aging soon, and (at least subconsciously) may kill death itself
