In four to five sentences, describe how the Great Depression changed the American way of life

The Great Depression had a profound impact on American society, fundamentally altering the way people lived their lives. Millions of Americans lost their jobs, homes, and savings, and struggled to feed and clothe their families. Many turned to government assistance programs for the first time, and new laws and regulations were enacted to protect workers and stabilize the economy. The Depression also led to a renewed sense of community and social consciousness, as people came together to support one another and demand change from their leaders.
