Hi I'm Deysha [Day-Sha] I'm in Ms.Stanfords 5th period class, I will start researching today and post things as I find them, I also take AP Psych so I might add stuff to that part too. :] yayyyy! and you don't need the history part to think of terms, it tells you what the history part is going to be about. don't forget about deindividualization. :]

Hey folks, I'm Jacob and since Camden already covered almost all of the psych terms, I'll go ahead and find some pictures and post the links in here. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/129/385998262_a9c1bb1244.jpg?v=0 Roaring 20s http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/features/mg-history/03-large/1947-53-MG-Y-Type.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.channel4.com/4car/gl/gallery/gallery/246/5&h=305&w=440&sz=53&hl=en&start=18&um=1&tbnid=9iUTt2rUiyYFYM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Droaring%2B20s%2Bcars%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive Car of the 20s http://www.thepatrioticgentleman.com/TheGreatDepression/images/Migrant%20Family%20Great%20Depression%20.jpg Depression family http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2205/1767110554_d7c8e0f7a1.jpg?v=0 Depression http://www.thickets.net/toren/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/1928-great-depression.jpg Depression http://www.corrupt.org/articles/existential/consumerism.jpg Stupid cartoon on consumerism http://www.legendsofamerica.com/photos-americanhistory/Speakeasy.jpg Speakeasy in prohibition

History students, the most important terms in relation to our time period are fundamental attribution error (effect of environment on people's actions), foot-in-the-door (buy small goods on credit, then buy cars on credit and dont have money to pay back= depression), conformity/ingrou/outgroup (keeping up with the jones's), scapegoat theory (who to blame for great depression?), mere exposure effect (new consumer items increases desire and will to own that item) -Jacob

Hey y'all. Since there wasn't any information on the history part, so I went ahead and created the powerpoint file and started it. I emailed it to mrs. cavanaugh so talk to her about it to see it. Thanks
 * Thursday**

Camden: Hey Jacob mrs. cav never recieved your email... I'll start another one and if we find yours we can delete mine More Photos: http://www.ehow.com/how_2246037_appreciate-roaring-s.html flapper http://projects.loudoun.k12.va.us/schools/lchs/english/rader/project/essays2/amandad/index2.htm hooverville

Roaring 20s: The roaring twenties were a prosperous time in the United States, especially with the institution of Prohibition. Prohibition was the 18th amendment which made the consumption and even the possesion of alcohol illegal. The idea of the 18th amendment was to lower crime rates, and to improve the overall life of American citizens. As we all know the opposite happend. Crime skyrocketed, and new establishments called speak easies were created to provide people with alcoholic beverages. Gansters made huge profits smuggling alcohol. Infamous ganster, Al Capone made an alleged $105 million in one year smuggling alcohol into the United States. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Lane/6341/History/Roaring20s.html http://webtech.kennesaw.edu/jcheek3/roaring_twenties.htm

Great Depression:

Deysha:
 * Great Depression**: The great depression of the 1930's was primarily caused by the stock market crash and because of the over speculation of the economys money supply, this led to the decline of world trade and increasing income taxes. (http://www.shambhala.org/business/goldocean/causdep.html) also cause the longest period of unemployment, began in Oct. 1929. familys depended on charity for food.(http://library.thinkquest.org/3483/Rhist/gd.html) Rich people were never impacted by the great depression. marriages were delayed and birth rates decreased dramatically. Womans roles were someone enhanced because of the great depression and husbands depended on them and the children to help make ends meat. (http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/snprelief1.htm)

//Um I'm guessing noone came in the morning due to all of the awards day going on at almost every school haha, well i'll do a little bit on social driven society of today, i'm a little confused about it but Ms.Standford gave me some info.//

(http://www.cfnews13.com/uploadedImages/Stories/Local/economic%20stimulus.jpg) (http://www.larealestateblog.net/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/25/uncle20sam202.jpg) //this site will really help out both the psychology and history powerpoints.// (http://financialplan.about.com/cs/creditdebt/a/UrgeToSplurge.htm)
 * Soical driven society of today:** Spending, using your credit to get leisure products. People are encouraged to spend their stimulus check because thats how our soiciety works today buy things to fit in or you don't really need just to have one. The government is encouraging us to spend the check so that the money will get filtered back into out economic system.

Tuesday Jacob: I did the first two history slides based on the info given. For some reason none of the links to your info on the great depression ddeysha worked. I attached the powerpoint to the page.

Deysha: I started on my slide for psyc and i related it to the history.

Camden Smith: Hey Jacob, just remember that we have to cite both in the notes and on each page of the powerpoint

Camden: Jacob: I made a couple new slides... but i did alot of the research tonight so read it and see if it makes sense for me

Wednesday Jacob: Sorry Camden I put the citations on there. And I put the websites of the photos that I used on the last page of the powerpoint. I guess just continue to do that and we will be done. History students make sure to finish your slides and whoever finishes the powerpoint make sure to email it to both teachers. Thanks and good work so far.

Camden: Hey y'all... remember to put the psych part of the conclusion on the conslusion slide when you have finished your others. Also, remembe to cite in APA on each page. Finally, youll need four pictures to meet the requirements. Thanks y'all and good work.

Joseph: Hey, sombody deleted my slide that I started yesterday, and then replaced it with a similar slide. So I guess it wasnt up to par. Sombody can e-mail it tonigt when its completed. Here are links to the pictures I added today: http://www.reuther.wayne.edu/pic/sitdown/assembly.gif - assembly line http://www.johndclare.net/America4_files/image002.jpg- Americana groups picture

and that left us with 2 not done Psych slides but i talked to Ms.Standford and she split my slides up so now we have 4! and joesph did the conclusion for the Psych part so I guess I just send it in now!**
 * Deysha: well i had to finish up two more vocab words and then i was done with my two slides but i guess joesph did that for me?
