American ModernizationAmerican ModernizationAmerican ModernizationLeading up to the turn of our present century, changes in culture and society of America triggered modernization throughout much of our commerce, social, artistic and educational lives. The past century or so has brought new obstacles and opportunities for the nation of America. This changing is reflected through some of the works by writers such as, Robert Frost, William Williams, Ezra Pound, and T.S. Eliot. Examining peoples mindset in modernization one common feeling of people is “nervousness” which is due to the nations reluctance to change. T.S. Eliot is quoted with the statement “the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history.”1 Modernism generally, varies greatly between previous times in the 19th century which breaks stride with the traditional lifestyle of the middle-class working public.
American Modernization in the 19th century In the 19th century, the U.S. national economy was undergoing a major change, following the rise of industrial capitalism by Louis Wolff. The growth of industrial capitalism and expansion of capital through direct and indirect means came to prominence in the mid-20th century as part of the U.S. industrial revolution. The economic and political environment also became more favorable for American companies to develop and manufacture. The United States would join the ranks of the industrialized nations. On this front, the most important elements of the nation’s economic modernization were of the American form. The American American revolution began with the production of automobiles and the American War of Independence. For this, America was one of the strongest, most industrious in the world. This period of production enabled American manufacturers to become more efficient and effective. During the 17th and 18th century, the United States was the country with the highest production rate, producing 861 million barrels of gasoline annually.[1] Despite the rising cost of living, most men had never purchased automobiles. The nation was also one of the largest exporters of petroleum from the United States and a major exporter of oil from neighboring countries. There was also increasing national mobility. The economic condition of the United States became a source of concern to a number of nations as well as citizens worldwide. The country was also in serious need of new and innovative technology to assist its economy. By the beginning of the 19th century, American manufacturers were becoming more and more skilled to manufacture large numbers of automobiles. In the 1670s, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) created the American National Railroad through a combination of national transportation and commercial enterprises. A major development in the American economy occurred in the 18th century, however, this was accompanied by several revolutions. First, by establishing American railways in order to provide for a larger and more economical transportation system. Second, in 1883, President James Hamilton ordered the U.S. Congress to approve the American National Railway, and in that same year he appointed the railroad commissioner, Herbert Hoover, to implement the plan and ensure the railroad’s expansion into the United States. The latter plan required that American railroads travel between states of the southern United States; thus, by 1885 the U.S. railroads expanded as if the country was in a state of war. The American railways were also successful as it was during the period of great prosperity, with the result that many large transportation companies entered the country, making America the largest consumer country of the 18th century. The United States was also one of the ten most connected economies of the world as part of a large global expansion of commerce and industry.[2] In 1857, the founding president of the New York Stock Exchange, Benjamin Newell, was named Chairman of the Board of Directors.[3] In 1875, John D. Rockefeller was Governor of New York at the time. The New York Stock Exchange’s monopoly of commerce in the United States led to a considerable expansion of the stock market. By the 1970s, many American airlines had become major suppliers of American commodities including carfares, gasoline, gasoline blends, gasoline-eng. These new American market centers enabled American industry to become an international hub. The new, American nation led the way by establishing the American Oil-Revenue Exchange in order to secure America’s production. The U.S. Treasury also established, operating primarily in the United States of America’s foreign markets, the New York Oil-Revenue Exchange to facilitate trading of foreign commodities. This opened the global market of American oil to global customers, including the Gulf of Mexico
A Modernist and Modernist:
The present American economy, and society today, is characterized by a decline in the average household income. The average family can save $30,000 in retirement savings per year (or the equivalent of $8,500 more a year after inflation), a median household income is $21,000 less than the 1970 levels and the median child poverty rate is 15%.
The Common Dollar by Andrew Nye – Andrew Nye
In the 19th century, average American household income increased 2.4% a year. Average American household income is now about $1,200 less today than in 1970.[1] American families of a high standard are also better informed through a variety of methods of means. Among these, there is a rise in the average household size, a rise in the average amount of education or training a child gives him/herself and a rise in the use of credit.
The Rise and Fall of the American Dream
In recent years there have been rising numbers of parents who are working and taking care of their two children with help and not from financial means.[2] The success of such children may stem from a combination between their willingness to work, financial aid, and the willingness of their parents to work. In fact, a majority of all Americans are working at least one-half of their parents’ yearly income (usually less than 5% of federal income).[3] Despite these benefits, most Americans are still able to put up with large costs and the stress of job loss and other hardships which come along with being on the take when they don’t get paid until all the other work stops.[4]

The average family has a much higher earning rate than the middle class, while the average family in the middle class has a lower earning rate—an average family makes $16,100 annually. The median annual income is $15,300, or about $2,250 below the average. In a decade over this point there has been an 11% increase in employment levels for the median family. There is no reason that income-earners with larger personal disposable incomes are better off today than their middle-class counterparts.(4)

Modernists portray a dull, gloomy and pessimistic picture of culture in America during this time period. This despair is often caused by an apparent boredom and the peoples feeling of uncertainty, of changes to come. Modernism uncovered has an anti-traditionalist theme instilled in it, because of the inevitability that changes will occur. “Modern” itself possesses the qualities, such as being simple and spontaneous along with an indefinite time frame to allow peoples acceptance of unknown. In many ways, this movement is difficult to define, but it can be generally applied to the work of writers who shared the belief that modernity and the reshaping of tradition were necessary conditions of their art. Much of the passion for a modernist change in art can be seen to arise from a need to compensate for new conditions in modern experience.
