Abstract:
This presentation provides examples of the ways the Jazz Age has shaped the world today, and it illustrates how the Jazz Age continues to and will always have an impact on the future of our society. In this research paper, I illustrate the true power and influence of the Jazz Age. The key findings reveal that the Jazz Age influenced various social factors, including cultural traditions, fashion, academics and race. 

Most people know how much the Jazz Age impacted the 1920’s, but what about one hundred years later? Not only did the Jazz Age help African Americans on their long road to freedom, but it also produced musical geniuses who left their mark through technological inventions that would further advance musical sound forever. The Jazz Age also shaped the American fashion aesthetic and impacted traditions over one hundred years later. This goes to show that the effects and achievements of this period have been carried into modern day and will be brought into the future.
