During the New Deal Era of the 1930s, many novels, films, and plays reflected the economic struggles, social injustices, and political turmoil of the time. Works such as John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," films like "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," and plays such as Clifford Odets' "Waiting for Lefty" often highlighted the hardships faced by regular Americans and the need for reform to address these issues. These cultural works helped shape public opinion and bring attention to the need for social change during the Great Depression.
One issue that was not commonly reflected in novels, films, and plays of the 1930s was the environmental degradation and pollution that was occurring during the industrial era. This topic did not receive as much attention in popular media during that time compared to social issues such as economic hardship, poverty, and discrimination.
