Module 12: The Changing Times - The 2000s to the Present

Congratulations! You finished your last ride in the time machine. Your journey through the history of the United States is coming to an end. What were those last few topics you learned about?

Martina and Terrance started you off with an exploration of the United States government and economy. Specifically, you discussed four major economic indicators of the economy's health, monetary policy, fiscal policy, and examples of government spending. Then, they took you on a journey though the Supreme Court archives to help explain courts, rights, and the rule of law. Next, Martina and Terrance revealed reasons why immigrants come to the United States, contributions they make once they arrive, and controversies surrounding immigration policies. The time machine then took a turn back to the United States space program to see how the technological advances from that program helped bring about many of the technologies we know and use today. Finally, Martina and Terrance brought you close to home to explain the changing popular culture in the United States, including the impacts of music and television, and the evolution of women's role in society.

The journey was quite an adventure, but Terrance and Martina certainly appreciate your willingness to travel through United States history with them.
