2. Americans became aware of the style of Art Deco through many of the same pathways of entertainment or media we use today. Many forms of art, such as art exhibitions, magazines, museums, and even just regular TV. Art Deco really cleaned up the world of art and design, everything became more refined and sleeker, and it really launched us into the world of modern art that we see prominently today.

3. Named after the great Henry Ford, Fordism is really a term for the modern day economic and social systems that revolve around mass production and consumption. He was really the first to carry out true mass production on such a scale to so many people. Simplifying and cutting costs were the main focuses of Fordism, making things easier and cheaper to build. It was really a race to see how much work you could cut out of the manufacturing job.
