Compare & Contrast

1930s: During the Great Depression, unemployment rose as high as 25%; the New Deal program of government-sponsored relief leads to a deficit in the federal budget.
1960: After a decade of record-high American production and exports, unemployment dips to less than 5 percent, while the federal government runs a small surplus.
Today: Unemployment runs between 5 and 6 percent, while the federal government works to reduce a multi-billion dollar deficit amidst an increasingly competitive global economy.
1930s: Schools are racially segregated; emphasis in the classroom was on rote learning of the basics.
1960: Although backed up by force at times, school integration laws were being enforced; the 1959 launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik leads to math and science gaining increased importance.
Today: School populations are as racially diverse as their communities; classes include a focus on combining subjects and problem-solving skills.
1930s: Only property owners who were white and male could serve on juries.
1960: Women and minorities could now serve on juries; while the Supreme Court ruled that eliminating jurors from duty on the basis of race is unconstitutional, many trials still exclude blacks and Hispanics.
Today: All registered voters are eligible to serve on juries, although in many cases prosecution and defense teams aim to create a Jury with a racial balance favorable to their side.
1930s: A big trial serves as a entertainment event for the whole town and a child who has been to the movies is unusual.
1960: Television was becoming the dominant form of popular entertainment, while families might see films together at drive-in movie theaters.
Today: Although television and film are still large presences, computers and computer games swiftly gain a share in the entertainment market. Trials still provide public entertainment and are featured on their own cable channel.
