Compare and contrast united states society in the 1920s and the 1950s with respect to two of the following: race relations, role of women, consumerism.

Perhaps the greatest societal change that took place between these two periods was WWII--meaning that after the war in the 50s, America was more likely to ask itself the tough questions regarding race and the role of women, since blacks and women had worked so hard to help the US during the war.

Militarism is the answer.
