As the thirties came to an end, things were not so good for the United States. World War II began and America once again was in war even thought they wanted to stay out of it. That changed after Japan dropped a bomb on Pearl Harbor. This got American furious, and therefore they prepared to go to war. With fashion ever changing, new uniforms had to be made for the men and women who joined the army. The uniform for the men didn't really change that much from WWI. For the women they had to wear trimmed short skirts, thick jackets, and hats with the names of their armed services on it. The people that remained home continued with some of the styles from the thirties. However, women clothing got more darker in color, more dramatic, and the dresses were worn in different ways. Men clothing changed a bit due to the new jobs that required comfort over style. Like jobs in the offices, talent scouts, and lawyers began to dress more conservative rather than extravagant.
Quotation
"Although scientific development was focused on the war effort , some advancement occurred in the world of everyday living"(O'Donnol 112).
Reaction
I have to agree with the quote which is basically saying that technology evolved with cause. If there were no wars or other traumatizing events in the world nothing would change. Technology helps a lot in wars because its very efficient, but technology also help in everyday life. Without technology the world would not change as much or as fast.
