In the future, you can save the image to your
desktop, then use an image viewer to read. I
was not able to reduce the image without
compromising readability. Maybe there is a
way, but I have yet to figure it out.
Thanks for the link, it is a welcome addition! :)
EDIT: The image is reduced in size, significantly.
Let me know if there are any problems with it.

I couldn‘t find a more fitting thread title, so I post it here.
It seems WW2 changed the world in a profound way in many ways. Recently I tried to find out more about one aspect that probably changed so much globally that it can’t be underestimated and not many people think about at the same time:
As far as I know in most if not all of recorded and knowable history, in every civilization, it was practically the norm that woman stay at home especially during the rearing of children and don’t join workforces.
Thus, probably the most crucial part of nurturing/creating/educating healthy souls and minds was done at home.
All that was basically still the norm everywhere globally just before WW2 broke out. And during and after it, it changed permanently basically to the opposite (according to Grok): Now it is basically the norm worldwide that mothers don’t stay at home, and most crucially, don’t educate/nurture their own children. Instead, to one degree or the other, at the most crucial stages of development state type institutions took over the education/nurturing of children. And of course that also greatly helped to destroy basic and healthy family bonds including between the parents themselves I would think.
Here is the discussion I had with Grok about that rather profound change globally:

It not only changed the dynamics of family, but also the post-war landscape in terms of architecture. This could also go in the dedicated thread on modern architecture, but your post above made me think of our Reading workshop discussion about the world created by the left hemisphere when we were reading McGilchrist’s The Master and his Emissary.
Following the widespread devastation at the end of the war, buildings needed to be built quickly and function was favoured over the preceding decades’ aesthetic. Post-WWII architecture shifted to glass, steel, and gone was the beauty of the previous eras. The Bauhaus movement in architecture, Modernism in art and the economy of using cheap building materials purely for utility, ensured that there was no beauty to be found in the buildings of the 50s and on. Really sad. I think the modern urban landscape devoid of beauty, has had a truly detrimental impact on our collective psyche.
This short video details when modern architecture actually started, the Bauhaus movement post WWII:
And interestingly, Tucker feels the same about how devoid of beauty modern architecture is, since after the war:
