modern times...

To be honest, I love this film because is one of the most clear representation of the industralization and also I admire to Chaplin a lot. By the time I watched this movie I realize how difficult life was in that moments and how industralization and modernity brought a high cost for many people. In this period people had a unique function and it was ... work, work and work, as machines without breaks or time to rest, life started to be more complicated and people was depending on factories which gave them a not stablish job that could finish at any moment. As I noticed in the film life was better in jail than outside, how terrible it was? Poverty was a common issue by this times, but unfortunately, it is something that it hadn`t changed so much in the world. Finally, I think that every change bring consequences the thing is we must face and handle it as well as we can and one thing that is crucial keep in mind is love, with this simple and wonderful feeling we should face everything, even modernity because nothing is stronger than love.

Elizabeth’s reign in the British History

I really enjoy this movie becasue it was an interesting way to understood what was happened in that times also it was a very descriptive film and full of details, wasn`t it ? Speaking of the consequences that Elizabeth and her reign had, I realize that her reign was the beggining of one important fact by that time, which was the expantion of a nation and culture because of the war victory. They started to expanding through the world leaving behind a lot of important facts which finished in the victory of a constant fight between England and Spain, but What were the conflicts that existed between England and Spain? Here took place the difference in beliefs that made a distance between both cultures, the region was the main controversial fact becasue of the protestant from England and the catholic from Spain, the last one wanted to dominate England, but if they follow the catholicism they could lost their freedom and also stayed under the eminent domain of Spain. Finally, she was an admirable woman who gave everything by their people, even she didn`t had kids because her kingdom and her people was the most important thing for her and that is why she was the most brave queen in that time.

"Natives and Immigrants"

First of all, I think this topic is very interesting if we talk about cultures origins, after all, if we see the origin of the world we are immigrants , aren`t we? Then, we live around people who comes from differents part of the world and also we are a mixture from natives and imigrants who are part of the formation of our culture.

Speaking of the complexity and diversity of the natives and immigrants in the formation of the United Kingdom the history could be different but the sistem used in this process is almost the same who Spain used in our country at the moment we were colonized. When I started to read this text, I remembered the movie “braveheart” because even if the author describe dates and important events the process of formation of the United Kingdom was all the time a real fight between native and imigrants. The thing is why is not posible to preserve the previous culture with a new one, or at least mix them. In my opinion, is very difficult to believe that through death and pain some land s were conquering.
