Modern Times!



Hi everyone! I hope yu are having a bussy, but a very good weekend.
According to the last film we saw, I have to say that in spite of being a comic movie, it has many representative details of how Industralization influenced positively and negatively on people`s lives.
First of all, we can appreciate the pollution factories and industries brought to the cities. As a consequence oo this, people started having several health problems and medicine suffered a great improvment in order to find solutions to the poor health conditions.
On the other hand, Industralization was kind of made up under the idea of progress.
However, conditions in which people worked on were not a synonime of that, they were a denigration of their rights. Nevertheless, workers accepted that treatment until one day, they decided to take the power and strikes began to control the cities in order to acquire better conditions.
Another good point touched on the film, was the woman seen as a person without the same rights as men and useful only as a good housewife, whose main aim was to have dinner ready when her husband arrived from work.
Despite of these difficult aspects, it is a fact thta id it hadn`t been for thta important change in the history we wouldn`t have developed all the thing we have done it and of course I wouldn`t be using this way to do my homework.
Bye!

Elizabeth!!!


This film is a fierce representation of the life that people had during that time. It showed us the importance of Elizabeth´s reign, which was full of new ideas and purposes to get to a better nation, free of being dominated by other and with more territory won.

However, this power had a lot of consequences, specially in Elizabeth´s life, who had to sacrifice part of her life in order to control her reign efficiently.

Another consequence was the posibility that this revolutionary Queen gave to her country to think freely, without caring if people decided to be Catholic or Protestant. That was the main issue which porvoked the conflict between Spain and England. This first country couldn´t accept that people think whatever they wanted, because they belived that by doing that, the peace in the nation would be broken.

The conflict between these two countries got worst when England started to acquiere much more territory, and therefore much more resources were gotten by them.

Finally, the reasons of why she was called the "Virgin Queen" were due to the fact she never got married, bacause she was believed to be able to reign without the presence of a man.

Besides, Quenn Elizabeth was thought to the nearest person to God, so she was not seen as a common woman.
