Exit Ticket: Making a connection between teens of the Roaring 20s and their parents (the generational divide), and themselves/parents today. Please include specific cultural and behavioral topics that might help them form these connections.

This resource explores the generational divides between the 1920s and today's youth, analyzing how cultural and behavioral parallels manifest over time. It begins with a focus on the Roaring Twenties, highlighting the cultural shifts initiated by the youth of that era, including changes in fashion, music, and social norms. The document examines how young women, seen as flappers, rebelled against conservative Victorian values, and how the introduction of jazz music and the automobile transformed social interactions. Additionally, it addresses parental concerns about the perceived moral decline and the challenges to traditional authority presented by the younger generation. Moving into the present day, the resource draws comparisons with contemporary generational divides heavily influenced by technology, discussing aspects such as social media, digital communication, and evolving views on gender and sexuality. It encourages students to reflect on these parallels and the ongoing conflicts between generations across time.
