jennylove:

Which was not an effect of the Great Depression on average Americans? People lost jobs and suffered poverty. Large numbers of people began collecting unemployment. Many people suffered from malnutrition. There was a drop in the marriage and birth rate.

jennylove:

the wording on this question is confusing me

mhchen:

It's just asking what didn't happen because of the great depression. Great Depression = sad economy Which one of them has nothing to do with the economy?

jennylove:

malnutrition?

jennylove:

im not quite sure

jennylove:

would this question confirm this one i have posted? because i know forsure this one would be c the birth rates, but the wording of this question i posted confused me. what was 1 impact of the great depression? more people began keeping journals people defaulted on their income taxes there was a drop in the marriage and birth rate unemployment claims rose

justjm:

I'm not sure about it then It's possible that then for the first question it's emphasizing on the 'Average American' part?

mhchen:

Marriage and birth rate has nothing to do with the depression.

jennylove:

hmmm, im really not sure for this one:/

jennylove:

why would it have nothing to do with it? it was an impact of the great depression

mhchen:

shoot seriously?

jennylove:

doesnt effect and impact mean the same? as said in both of the 2 questions

justjm:

Ideally it wouldn't drop either. By the demographic transition model when unemploymet lowers, education decreases and hence marriage and birth rate increases - but this is over a LONG period of time

jennylove:

yes, since the second question i know is forsure correct since i got it right in the past

mhchen:

huh wow... if there was a huge marriage rate drop... people DEFO lost jobs and went topoverty and had to...WAIT was there unemployment funds back then? there wasn't right

justjm:

I think perhaps your first question is talking about the lifestyle during the Great Depression. If that's the case then B looks closer as the answer

jennylove:

hmm, maybe so. im really not sure. I can try looking for more information but for now im gonna close this question and post 2 more i had questions on(: thanks!
