To what extent did the great depression catalyze important changes in americans’ perceptions of themselves, their national identity, and the role of their government? what evidence of these shifts can you find in the politics and values of our own times?

The Great Depression caused a devastation in social indicators, led to a decline in income and employment, and caused a deflationary process. The population that experienced the Great Depression called for changes that reversed the precariousness of the conditions of reproduction of life in the USA.

The human being has in his nature the tendency to crowd and help one another in situations of risk and calamity. The Great Depression awakened in Americans a sense of frustration and hope of reversing the bad situation. This was reflective in the election of Franklin Rosevelt, who promised a recovery plan, not only economic, but also social - through specific social policies. For example, the concept and establishment of social security for the elderly emerged, an achievement that highlights the importance of state action in social public policies. Since then, public policy for social benefit has become a value of the State and the population, which now requires greater transparency and direction in public spending.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
