    Final Assessment

    Socratic Seminar
    1. Prohibition didn't work. But should there be limits on our "vices" (alcohol, marijuana, gambling, prostitution, etc...)?
    2. "The business of government is business." The 20's economy was very robust, but it ended with the stock market crash
    and the Great Depression. Should the government regulate business or keep their hands off?
    3. Women became more liberated during the 1920's. To what extent does today's society consider women and men as equals?
    4. During the 1920's, strict immigration policies were enacted to limit and/or restrict entry to the United States by certain ethnic or national groups.
    What kind of immigration policies should we have today?
    5. The Red Scare in the 1920's severely restricted free speech for a period, since the hysteria caused many people to want to eliminate any Communists and their ideas.
    Today, we are concerned about Hate Speech. How should we address Hate Speech in public places, on campus and/or online?

    Alternate Questions:

    1. How did American culture change in the 1920s and was it for the good or the bad?
    2. How have the 1920's shaped our own lives in today's America?
    3. The Harlem Renaissance afforded African-American writers, artists and musicians with an intellectual venue for creative expression.
    Do people of color in today's society have similar, better or lesser opportunities for artistic expression?
