The text authors describe the 1920s as a time in which “a society in transition debated which of its traditional values to preserve and which to modify or abandon”.

Identify at least three traditional values that were preserved in the twenties and three that were modified or abandoned.

ANSWER
Among the three traditional values preserved consider: disillusionment with and isolation from world affairs; minimal government interference in the free enterprise system; nativist suspicion of new immigrants and racial and ethnic minorities.
Among the three abandoned or modified values consider: traditional inhibitions concerning sexual discussion and sexual behavior; the traditional “productive” orientation in the marketplace to a “consumptive” orientation; modifying individualism in favor of conformity (while still admiring the individualism of folk heroes).
