Essay2 of the following will appear on your test and you will choose 1 to answer. If you do both I will only grade the first one. Study tip – don’t write a full essay for each of these, instead write down 3-4 things you would want to include in each if it appears on the test. It will be easier to remember that way. · How did the baby boom impact the postwar economy? · How did automobile production affect the economy? · Why was television a better medium than radio for consumerism? · What were some of the problems that minorities had to overcome in the postwar era?
