Maria, Jess, John -- or whatever other name you're using -- please don't change names for each question.

The basic change was the usual differences between the current generation and their parents and grandparents.

My mother was 15 in 1920. Women got to vote for the first time that year. She and her friends were also the first women to cut their hair short, wear short skirts, and wear pants. It's natural that the people of her parents' generation to be scandalised by the dress, dances, movies, and music of the 20s.

About the same time, her father, who owned a prosperous furniture store in a small town, lost a lot of this business because cars now made it easy for people to drive to larger towns to shop.

The source of the cultural conflict during the 1920s can be attributed to several factors. One major factor was the aftermath of World War I, which brought about significant social, economic, and technological changes. These changes, along with the influence of urbanization and industrialization, led to the rise of a more modern and progressive society.

During this time, modern life started becoming more popular with the emergence of new forms of entertainment, such as movies, radio, and the introduction of the automobile. Women's suffrage and the changing roles of women, as well as the shift towards consumerism and the Roaring Twenties lifestyle, further contributed to the modernization of society.

However, there were segments of the population known as traditionalists who resisted these changes and sought to return to more conservative and traditional values. These traditionalists believed that the rapid social changes were challenging long-held customs, morals, and religious beliefs, leading to a perceived erosion of traditional American culture.

As a result, a cultural conflict arose between those embracing the modernizing aspects of the 1920s and those who sought to preserve traditional values and societal structures.

The outcome of this cultural conflict was a mixed one. While the modernizing forces of the 1920s achieved many significant advancements, such as increased gender equality, technological progress, and cultural innovation, the traditionalists also had some influence in shaping society. The clash of these opposing forces contributed to a sense of tension during the decade.

Ultimately, the cultural conflict of the 1920s set the stage for further social changes in the following decades, as the forces of modernization continued to shape American society while traditional values and beliefs persisted.
