Abstract

The widespread opinion that prevailed during the 1920‘s, was that countries like the United States entered the era of permanent abundance and mass production with improved construction industry repealed poverty and provides, for the first time in history, a high standard of living for everyone. Culture of mass consumption, which is then formed, can not be described the simple words. In fact, the effort to describe any period of history of American society, must include consideration of the ideas, values and tastes which at that time were particularly conspicuous and promoted. Illuminating its power and true nature can help to provide answers to one of the main issues of this artical and that is the way the American society in the mass culture is transmitted.
