In the midst of a global recession, the Cleaver family finds themselves facing an uncertain future. Mrs. Cleaver, a resilient and determined woman, is left to raise her five sons on their new farm in Malheur County, Oregon, and is 1939, and George Cleaver tirelessly works to develop 177 acres of raw land in hopes of securing a stable livelihood for his family. Meanwhile, across the ocean in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, a sea wall and esplanade stand as symbols of resilience against economic turmoil. Just like these structures that protect against turbulent waves, communities around the world strive to shield themselves from the devastating effects of recession. As scientists explore the mysteries of our universe's origins with theories like the Big Bang and early galaxies formation; financial institutions such as Barclays Bank at Canary Wharf in London UK navigate through tumultuous times by adapting strategies to weather economic storms. Nature itself offers solace amidst uncertainty - Jebel Shams mountains in Nizwa Oman remind us that even during challenging times there is beauty and strength all around us. However, not everyone can escape unscathed from recessions. In Person County North Carolina during 1939 captured by Dorothea Lange's lens we see a rail fence with poor barbed wire fencing foregrounded - symbolic of how vulnerable some are when faced with economic hardships. Fast forward to present-day Australia where COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on economies worldwide; it serves as yet another reminder that they can be triggered by unforeseen events beyond our control. History also teaches us valuable lessons about collective struggles during difficult times. The Means Test protests held in Hyde Park London during 1932 (1933) witnessed mounted police baton-charging marchers while tenants staged rent strikes in Peckham south-east London during 1931 (1933). These acts demonstrate how people come together to fight for their rights and demand fair treatment during times of economic crisis.
