20th-century U.S. history seems to show that, in general, each generation is more permissive than the previous one. Things that were taboo for parents become more common-place for their children.
But, it seems to me that this can not be universal.

Can you name some societies and time-periods when the opposite was the case, so that I can know where to look to learn about the counter-examples?
Or, is my assumption completely off-base and the U.S. and/or the 20th-century are the abberation?

I want to know what makes people angry. Is it about race? Is it politics? Marriage? What makes you steam? What do you find so unfair that it makes you feel helpless?

What was the use of female slaves back then? House keeper? Since I would think men were stronger and were worth more.

What is the percet of slave masters that had affairs with their wives with their female slaves?

How many had babies?

Did Thomas Jefferson have an affair with a black lady? and also had children with him?* *I heard it I dont' know if it's true.

How many africans are partly white, because of it out of wedlock.

How many mixed africans are mixed after slaverly ended.

That's all thanks.

I write poetry and I have been approached by a publishing company to compile my poems into a book. They are willing to pay the intial expenses of publishing it and that confused me a bit. Has anyone heard of this company? They became familar with my work through poetry.com (and yes I am aware of their scams when it comes to their anthologies).

The world financial system that emerged after World War I was based upon the gold standard. The United States and Great Britain guaranteed that they would exchange their currencies for gold at a fixed rate - $20.67 for an ounce of gold or 4.86 British pounds. Other major countries, most notably Germany and Austria, experienced serious bank runs. To stabilize their currencies, they exchanged their dollars and pounds for gold. The United States experienced a serious loss of gold (as did Great Britain). To encourage foriegn investors to buy American investments, the Federal Reserve Banks raised interest rates. If you were an American business ownder planning to build a new factory or buy new equipment, what would you have done after interest rates were increased?
