Roosevelt Elections 1932

In 1932 Roosevelt won the elections, republicans' reactions to the Wall Street crash influenced on people's point of view. This may or may not have had a mayor role in the result of the election.
Hoover wasn't a very good president, he was considered a 'do nothing' president. He believed that things would be done by themselves, or that the weren't his fault, since he didn't want to intervene in the economy, for example when he said that the depression was because of economic problems in Europe, not USA. Not only did he place the blame on other countries but he didn't accept the fact that social security was the governments responsibility, republicans feared that people would work less and become less independent if the governments helped them. Hoover and most republicans were unwilling to modify their basic policies.
After this, in the elections, republicans had the wort defeat in their history, Roosevelt won by 7 million votes. His victory wasn't a coincidence, Roosevelt had a quite different way of thinking, first off, he was a democrat. He believed that an 'active government' would improve ordinary people's lives, he wanted to spend public money to get people back to work and he wasn't afraid to ask for advice on important issues. Apart from this, his campaign was of big help; he went on a 20,800km train tour all around USA, he gave 16 mayor speeches and 60 more from the back of his train, that attacked Hoover and the republicans. He also promised people a New Deal, which then happened.
In the end, they both had 'good intentions', just that one was more clever than the other and got more involved with people making things 'equal'.

Causes: 1920's USA BOOM

The 1920s was a period of great change for USA. It was affected in many different aspects, some changes where positive and some where negative. The trust that someone can obtain a good and then pay it, credit, and the opportunity people had to pay something through installment payments over time, hire purchase, were reasons for economic growth. 

When we talk about economy we can talk about the “buy now, pay later” motto which was a new thing for people. This allowed them to buy a product in the moment but to pay later; this was a “revolutionary” thing for economy. Low income families had more access to new manufactured goods. The motor industry was another growing industry which credit and hire purchase helped, since it made it possible for people to buy cars, in 1929 about 4.8 million cars were made, that is one thousand times more than in 1900. This helped make the stock market popular in all USA. Buying shares of companies and then selling them was a quick and efficient way to get rich in a shorter period of time than normal. People kept buying shares which made prices rise and economy kept booming. Since economy was doing so well, banks were trusted by people and the other way around so loans were really common, people would ask for loans and buy shares, then sell them for a higher price and would both pay back the bank and profit from this. 

Although credit and hire purchase was a big reason for the economic boom, it wasn’t the only one. There were many others like Laissez-faire which was an attitude that republicans had, they believed the government should interfere as little as possible in people’s everyday lives, Tariffs which made imported food more expensive making people buy national products and Low Taxation, republicans believed that if people kept their money they would invest it on American goods. Their were many things industries produced that helped economy, but the radio broadcasting industry grew with the economy. Once the “Buy now, pay later” motto was being used, the demand for radios grew in big scale. Consumer good were mass-produced in great scale which made them cheaper and more accesible for people to buy them. All these factors, and many more helped make USA’s economy grow making it one of the work leaders in many sectors. After WWI the economy grew because of industries being strong and exporting things to those in war, making them wealthy. 

In the end, USA’s economy was and still is one of the leaders. The boom was because of many factors, little and big ones. Even though after this there was a crash, that didn’t stop USA. The 1920’s were of great growth and development for USA and it’s economy.

All About Me

In ELT Writing, we wrote a description of ourselves so the teacher could get to know us.

I'm Mia, the youngest of three, a sister, Sol, and a brother, Franco. My mom's name is Florencia, my dad's name is Ernesto. I lived in USA for the first seven years of my life, since 2001 to 2008, now I've been living in Argentina for almost ten years now. We all get along well and love each other unconditionally.
I'm pretty tall, in comparison to my mom and sister. My is now short, I had it chopped off because i got bores of it. My eyes are dark brown, nothing different, my nose is normal and my mouth is small. I'm of normal build, not too fat nor too skinny. I like to wear rings.
My personality is strong, I get mad easily, it's always been like that, just like my mother. I'm mostly in a good mood, but when I'm in a bad mood I'm unbearable. I try to be kind and humble, sometimes it's hard, but I try.
I spend my time playing piano, singing and taking photographs, or playing with my pets. Since school started, I'll have to start doing homework mostly on Fridays but in reality, everyday. I watch tv shows when I get home, since during the day I can't.
In the end, I'm just an average girl, I do my best in school so my parents are happy and do things that I like so I'm happy too. I'm growing physically and mentally and hope to one day become a successful and happy person.
