4 1920 s Document Sheet Mary, David, Nicola I have alluded somewhat vaguely to the merits of democracy. One of them is quite obvious: it is, perhaps, the most charming form of government ever devised by man. The reason is not far to seek. It is based upon propositions that are palpably not true and what is not true, as everyone knows, is always immensely more fascinating and satisfying to the vast majority of men than what is true. Truth has a harshness that alarms them, and an air of finality that collides with their incurable romanticism. They turn, in all the great emergencies of life, to the ancient promises, transparently false but immensely comforting, and of all those ancient promises there is none more comforting than the one to the effect that the lowly shall inherit the earth. It is at the bottom of the dominant religious system of the modern world, and it is at the bottom of the dominant political system. The latter, which is democracy, gives it an even higher credit and authority than the former, which is Christianity. More, democracy gives it a certain appearance of objective and demonstrable truth. H.L. Mencken 1926 Last Words Words from American journalist, H.L. Mencken explaining his view of democracy. Mencken looked at democracy with amusement, and described it as being a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. One of Mencken s most famous descriptions of democracy is that it is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street boomed a steady golden roar. The parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the models were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired. Making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them. F. Scott Fitzgerald 1925 The Great Gatsby This excerpt from The Great Gatsby reveals the culture of the 1920 s in New York, with expanded entertainment, flapper women, and prohibition. This quote manifests the new culture of the roaring twenties. The Great Gatsby is significant novel in history because it mocks the excessive amount of fun and pleasure seeking. America coming out of World War I can be described as being full of optimism and aspiration, as evidenced by Gatsby s character. People of the 1920 s were pleasure seekers, full of energy, optimism, and corruption.
