Explanation:

• The conflict between religion and science can be witnessed in the Scopes "Monkey Trial". John Scopes was charged of going against Tennessee law which forbids people from teaching evolution in state school. Scopes did this intentionally in order to create a scene and end the law.

• In the 1920's, the introduction of speakeasies was a development and an illegal way of drinking alcohol. It was seen as a way of consuming alcohol by the upper class despite the ban of alcohol in the United States. Speakeasies brought joy onto the face of people during the time it was prohibited.

• Technology provided Americans with more time for leisure. In the 1920s, there were labor saving devices and this provided Americans with more time to have fun. Technology encouraged Americans to do more things with their time.
