how did life change for Americans during ww2?
In the summer of 1945, as World War II drew to a close, the U.S. economy was poised on the edge of an uncertain future
Millions of men and women entered military service and saw parts of the world they would likely never have seen otherwise. The labor demands of war industries caused millions more Americans to move--largely to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts where most defense plants located. When World War II ended, the United States was in better economic condition than any other country in the world. Even the 300,000 combat deaths suffered by Americans paled in comparison to any other major belligerent.
By the summer of 1945, Americans had been living under wartime rationing policies for more than three years, including limits on such common goods as rubber, sugar, gasoline, fuel oil, coffee, meat, butter, milk and soap. Meanwhile, the U.S. government’s Office of Price Administration (OPA) had encouraged the public to save up their money (ideally by buying war bonds) for a brighter future. In her book A Consumer’s Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America, Lizabeth Cohen reported that by 1945, Americans were saving an average of 21 percent of their personal disposable income, compared to just 3 percent in the 1920s.

Explanation:
Compare early and contemporary family life. What are the differences in such issues as
parental controls, punishment, and role taking?
(Juvenile justice)
Initial family life presented stricter concepts in relation to parental control, punishment and role playing. In the initial family life, parents had greater control over the lives of their children, deciding issues around marriage, education, religions, among others. This is not seen in contemporary families, since the country gives them more freedom to make their own decisions on several factors.
In relation to punishment, the initial families used to impose more severe punishments for any kind of disobedience that the children could present. Contemporary families, on the other hand, have fought the existence of punishments, as they believe that they do not generate any teaching for their children, in this case, contemporary families prefer to use conversation to show how wrong their children are.
In relation to the performance of roles, the initial families had well-defined gender roles, where mothers were limited to domestic work and countries were responsible for financial support through secular work. In contemporary families, this role is fluid and well defined, where men and women interact in all necessary services.
