What new opportunities did they have? What new dangers did they face?

It was an age of anxiety and pessimism for many, as the losses of WWI prompted questions about science, governments, and faith. New theories in science and psychology helped to increase that sense of angst, while they also captured the imaginations of many. Please discuss Einstein, Heisenberg, and Freud and how their theories about the universe and the mind/psyche fit into the age of anxiety http://www.historydoctor.net/Advanced%20Placement%20World%20History/44.Age_of_anxiety.htm http://www.skuola.net/civilta-inglese/age-anxiety-modernism-cultural-background.html http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/einstein/einstein-s-revolution
