Imperialism is a policy of extending your rule over foreign countries, a political orientation that advocates imperial interests, or any instance of aggressive extension of authority. So imperialism and expansion go hand in hand because they're focused on expanded horizons and money. That's why this picture represents American imperialism, and expansion so well because the man (represents America) keeps on getting bigger and bigger.

The 1920's were an age of dramatic social and political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americans into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” It also gave women the right to vote. I chose this picture because it shows a flapper girl. Flapper girls, a young woman with bobbed hair and short skirts who drank, smoked and said what might be termed “unladylike” things, in addition to being more sexually “free” than previous generations. Women wanted too be treated equally.
