Assignment and Chapter Focus Question.  Your quiz and chapter 23 part of next exam will focus on this question.

 

By the late 1800s more and more Europeans were participating in what they perceived to be a better age. Was this the case?  What do we learn from the evidence?  What were the consequences for Europeans both politically and socially? 

This is really a two-part question.  First Part -- discuss the material advantages experienced by Europeans. You may want to use pictures from the text.  In addition to text information, use document on page 654.   Also, analyze the role governments played in benefiting Europeans.  Use documents on pages 659 and 677).  Second Part:  What were the consequences both socially and politically of mass society?  Use document on page 668, document on page 659 again, and document on page 675 to help you assess this.   Don’t forget to write a good introduction that “frames” the issue, and a conclusion that reassesses what you have accomplished.
