Modern Times

Industrialization had a huge influence on people’s life and that influence is still present in our times. One of the influences of this period is the introduction of the technology with smart machines that involved a high rate of unemployment. This fact is represented in the movie with the father of the girl that lost his job and also with the protests on the street.

Industrialization brought a new way of working that it is known as mass production and this type of production was characterized because of there were less expenses and much profits. With this new way of production the small producers were hardly affected because their products were more expensive that the ones made in mass production.

Mass production is represented in the movie when Chaplin was working in a factory and with him there were other men working all together in a conveyor belt and each one had a specific task, so the product was not made by one person, was made by all the workers because each of them contribute to make the product.

Good Queen Bess

Elizabeth’s reign is considered for the English people in the top rank of English monarchs because she contributed in many aspects to the English society. One of the contributions of Elizabeth’s reign was the bloom of the literature through the works of a famous writer and my favorite one, William Shakespeare. Also England started expanding its influences in the world thanks to Walter Raleigh and Francis Drake, who was Elizabeth’s advisor.

Also the religion was a controversial issue during Elizabeth’s reign because as she did not want to get married with a man; she just wanted to get married with her people of England, Catholicism was not her favorite religion, so that is way it seems to me that she shared more ideals with protestants than catholic people.

This problem with the religion is one of the reasons there was a dispute between England and Spain, because this last country was a very catholic one and it did not accepted England to reject this religion. Another reason was the English piracy that affected Spain and the explorations in the new world that irritated Philip II, who decided to start the war.

As Elizabeth and her people won the war, years of piece and expansion arrived, that is why she is fondly remembered by the English people.
