Crime and gangster films
Crime and gangster filmsJenny McNultyCrime and gangster films typically feature characters that are materialistic, street-smart criminals who operate outside the law, committing violent crimes and murders. These stories often highlight the rise and fall of a criminal or gang as they battle rivals and law enforcement. The settings are usually in large cities, depicted with neon signs, fast cars, and other symbols of wealth. These films portray a morality tale where crime does not pay, as the pursuit of wealth and status through illegal means often leads to the criminal's downfall and death. The Hays Production Code of the 1930s censored some of the earlier films' glorification of criminals, requiring them to depict gangsters as psychopaths and emphasize that crime does not pay.

World War 1 influenced expanding voting rights, first to women related to soldiers, then all female citizens over 21 for federal elections by 1918. The Persons Case decision of 1929 declared that women were eligible for political office. Continued advocacy led to greater social and economic opportunities for women in the post-war period and beyond.

Corning Vitro
Corning VitroRyan HuelsmannThe Corning-Vitro joint venture between American company Corning and Mexican company Vitro failed due to cultural differences in management practices. Corning had a decentralized, risk-taking culture while Vitro had a formal, hierarchical culture. Corning encouraged competition and individual rewards, while Vitro focused on cooperation and group rewards. The cultural clashes led to communication issues and misunderstandings. After two years, the $130 million venture was dissolved and the companies now simply distribute each other's products. The failure showed the importance of understanding cultural differences before entering joint ventures.
