Question II Much like every age in history, both the Industrial Age and Era of Revolutions introduced a multitude of ideas to society. Despite the fact that the Industrial Age had more to do with a shift in production methods—while the Era of Revolutions was more about a shift in government types—each of these ages were intertwined with one another. The effects each era has had on the world is irrefutable. The Industrial Age was a transition from medieval-like ways of production to new and improved manufacturing processes. The increased use and efficiency of water power and steam power, as well as the development of machine tools, led to the rise of industrialization. Consequently, manufacturing shifted from manual production methods to machine-based…show more content…
Spanning the entire world, the Era of Revolutions was composed of the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the Greek Revolution, and the slave revolts of Latin America. Many countries who were ruled by an absolute monarch became constitutional states or republics. Despite the violence and death occurring concurrently with war, the Era of Revolutions still ignited a spark for progress and growth. Although both of these eras look drastically different on the surface, they both have many things in common. To start off, each of the eras introduced new concepts: the Industrial Age launched new ideas in manufacturing and technology, while the Era of Revolutions unveiled governments geared more towards the people than a single individual. In addition, both featured advances in science: the Industrial Age saw the improvement and increased use of different technologies (e.g. glass making, gas lighting, the printing press, etc.), while the Era of Revolutions introduced us to the ideas of Sir Isaac…show more content…
People choose to drown in social media or video games, ignorant to the great achievements the human race has achieved. Learning about the different humanities through out history has been awe-inspiring for me; Humanities 1301 is easily one of the best courses I have taken. Out of the entire course, I enjoyed learning about Beethoven the most. Although I did hold prior knowledge regarding Beethoven, it was very superficial. It was while writing one of my Mini Papers that I learned the most about him. His father was a very hard figure, almost to the point of abuse. He started going deaf at a very young age yet continued to write music, becoming one of the greatest composers of all time. He hated for his music to be performed in public. I also learned about one of Beethoven’s most famous works—Moonlight Sonata. The three movements are very distinct, each having their own tone. In addition, I also really enjoyed learning about the art of the Baroque Era. Of all the artists of the Baroque Era, Diego Velasquez was one of the most overlooked. The level of realism he was able to capture in his paintings was unheard of; it seemed almost like a photograph. His expert use of lighting added an air of complexity to his work. I also really enjoyed learning about Johannes Vermeer. Vermeer, with his master use of color and light, quickly established himself as one of the best Baroque artists of his

    One of the biggest changes in colonial society between 1600 and 1775 was population. Between the 1600s and early 1700s, the number of English emigrants sharply increased, with roughly 164,000 people setting in the colonies (Forner, Give Me Liberty 54). However, in the eighteenth century, “…African and non-English European arrivals skyrocketed” (Forner, Give Me Liberty 107), not only adding to the colonies’ population but making it more diverse as well. We can also see that the surviving Indian populations
