Youth of Today VS Youth of the 1920s

          It can be said that although the 1920s seem like a very long time ago, the youth from today still
shares multiple similarities between the youth from the 20s. "Scandalous" behavior of the 20s would include dresses and skirts falling above the shins and wearing makeup in public. Nowadays, it is totally accepting for women to wear makeup in public, and it can be sometimes rare for anyone to wear a dress that is below the shins. With that being said, I still don't really feel like the youth from this time era are necessarily worse than that of the 1920s. Whatever the youth chose to do in the 1920s probably seemed very scandalous then, because it was pertaining to that specific time period, where those specific things were not publicly accepted yet. Since times have since changed, it is more accepting for the youth to do certain things differently, and I do not think that the youth of today should be thought of as "more scandalous" just because of the time era they live in.
