Jazz was considered evil to most people of the 1920's because it encouraged a new type of dancing style. This new style of dancing was considered barbaric and extremely sexually provocative. Also, it was originally created by Southern African- Americans and, during this time, racism was still very prevalent.

The youth of the 1920s were considered rebellious for the way they dressed, danced, and the way behaved themselves. The women and men both dressed more casually and loosely. The clothing was more sexually provocative and it went well with the popular dancing style. The dancing was considered far to sexual for public. The youth of the time spoke of sex much more frequently and, many times, in public, which was completely unheard of. Also, they began dating earlier in their lives, starting in their 20s many times! The media jumped on board with all of these trends and promoted the idea of the flapper. Cars helped the youth to escape the control of their parents and other adults and do what they wished, when they wished.

Radio's were one of the reasons the entertainment grew and became important. By the end of the 1920's over 10 million households had radios , which allowed entertainment to be more known. Radios play advertisements, comedies, and different styles of music such as jazz. Jazz became major source of entertainment and most of the youth really enjoyed it.

World War One affected Americans in many ways, the most dramatic way was the U.S Economy. The governments expansion in power and responsibility grew causing the creation of new lands, and taxes were created to support this. Also it made many Americans lose faith and their patriotic belief.
