Keys to scientific, artistic and cultural changes
in the 1920s

• The horrors, brutality and seemingly
  meaninglessness of WWI lead to popular changes in
  our view of the world
• Science and psychology challenged our comfortable
  view of the concreteness of the world and our
  understanding of it an ourselves
• Art literature, music, and fine arts
  represented human discomfort at our own existence
• Philosophy of the existentialists described these
  discomforts - there no longer was to be meaning
  in life or an after-life except what each
  individual created for himself through will, free
  choice and taking responsibility there was to
  be longer a central set of rules it was a very
  individualistic philosophy these ideas were not
  uniform, however
• Music like jazz, culture like the flappers social
  changes further eroded many traditional ways of
  life further illustrating the existentialist
  view on life and the changing role of women in
  society
• As many individuals adopted a kind of
  existentialism, airplanes, cars, radio, movies
  brought many in the world closer together
  ironically leading to economic catastrophe
