“Modern Times”





I think there is a huge influence from industrialization and Modernity at the present time. Industrialization and Modernity marked an after and before it.



In my opinion, the idea of industralization was to simplify chores, but unfortunately it had negative results. For example, a lot of people lost their jobs as we saw on film "Modern times". People were not happy being replaced by machines and losing their salaries. For the same reason, people were estressed like the main character of this film, who collapsed.They were forced to steal and do striks. However, from another point of view, modernity made possible the increase of the communicational technology and transport.








To conclude, changes are not good always, but they are necessary to the evolution of society and culture. In consequence, people have to be careful and try to act with a lot of wisdom to avoid destrying themselves. Remember that the environmental destruction is our fault, because of the industaralization.

The importance of the Elizabeth’s reign in the British History


I think to understand better the importance of the Elizabeth's reign in the British History is necessary to know the British context before her reign.


According to the movie, there was a religious division between Protestans and Catholics, and England and Spain had diplomatic conflicts due to the divorce between Elizabeth's father and the queen of Spain.


However, after Elizabeth's reign people were free to express their religion even they unified their believes in one church, also the diplomatic conflicts ended. The Elizabeth's reign was the most success one, for this reason, it was called the gloden age because of the abundance and peace.


To conclude, the importance of the Elizabeth's reign in the British history was the prosperity and diplomatic and religious peace that it gave to England.
