Modern Times

After watching the film "Modern Times" I could notes how drastic was the change in the world and how affected in people´s everyday life during the industrialization and, with the arrived of modernity.

First of all, factories changed the way how people live because in those years workers did not have any time to rest or eat. Also, some important things for the owners of factories were the economy and work, nothing else. In those years also workes did not have any right and they had to work many hours without a break and follow orders just because they need to work and need the money.

So, what brings modernity and industrialization was a marked social division, in which poor people were the most affected by this change because they were looking for jobs but without huge expectations. Machines were also replacing the work that people were use to do. So, that is why employees could not fight for their rights and were not having a goverment support, in the movie we saw how workers went on strike and they did not get good result and, should go back to work again but then some hours or days later they returned to strikes again.

In the film we saw Chaplin looking for a job because in the factory in which he was working before he suffered a crisis of overwork. So, after that he should search for a job, but many people were desesperate for a job too. So, live and work in those years was very difficult.

"Elizabeth: The Golden Age"

Queen Elizabeth of England was considered a fighter and a true lover of his country. Her actions and beliefs collided and created many enemies around Europe and in their own country. But, she always thought first in the future of his country even before his personal life, because as she said and explain she was married to England and its people.

As I said before, Elizabeth during her reign was considered “the Virgin Queen”, this was because she never got married and the consequences that this name brought to her was be criticized for not having a husband and descendants, because in those years for women was almost a rule.

Elizabeth had a big problem with Spain due to the struggle of American lands and their belongings. Elizabeth accept some gifts from America, which was felt as an insult to Spain and also she support the expedition of those lands without care the opinion of Spain. Those issues provoked a war between kingdoms.

During her reign Elizabeth showed how important was for her to protect people and fight with them. Moreover she was committed to England.
