During the 1930s we can clearly see how much different things were. People treated people of different color differently, people treated women differently, and the way people looked at the mentally disabled was much more different back then than it is now. Relating to Of Mice and Men I can clearly see how much more poorly people back then treated people with a mental problem. People treat Lennie with not much respect at all and it just shows how much different people were back then. In my opinion most people during the 1930s cared more for themselves and just there family. I really feel like now we as humans care a lot more about everyone and how we can help anyone in anyway we can. Not everyone is like that but I truly feel more people today are like that than they were back then because of the example from Of Mice and Men and because of the way blacks and women used to be treated. People in the 1930s cared about there job and there family, but they lacked awareness and knowledge for people like Lennie and many other people who had some type of disability.
