Are the 20s truly the American Dream?

According to a research on the internet (http://www.learner.org/biographyofamerica/prog20/feature/page05.html), the 20's was a period which had positive and negative aspects that makes it difficult to desing as the accomplishment of the American Dream or its failure. Some of the positive aspects were that economic growth, cars became popular, the communication media grew, women got the right to be recognized as a citizen and the increase of the Gross national product. On the other side, the negative aspects was the alcohol prohibition and the stock crash, the rural poverty and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.
One of the  facts that brought them waelth or prosperity was the economic improvement, because that encouraged people to buy cars, appliances and devices. Cars' bussiness kept a continiuos growing becuase people had more money to spend. Also they changed the concept of city due to the overpopulation by creating the suburbs. The growth of the communication was evident in the development of entertainment specially in radios and movies that passed from silent to talkie, which created a new culture based on fashion.
Other of the most important positive aspects, was the recognition of women rights and that gave them liberty and individuality.

By the other side, one negative aspect was the prohibition of the alcohol, which brought the traffickers and the violence. And anoter not fruitful fect was the downturn that occured in the building industry that occured during 1925.

Taking into account these caracteristics, is appropiate to say that the 1920s had both, positive and negative aspects, what made difficult to decide if it could be considered as the accomplishment of the American Dream. Nevertheless, there are more positive characteristics that evidence that this moment can be considerated what america has dreamed.
