Refer to specific artists and works to illustrate your points. “Expressionism is a tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect; its subjective art form.” (1) Expressionism was seen in many different kinds of forms which included literature, theater art, paintings, music and architecture.

In what ways does a comparative study accentuate the distinctive contexts of Frankenstein and Blade Runner? The values and morals of society have dramatically changed throughout the course of history, so too has the knowledge of science, its teachings and influences on the world. As new technologies have been under further experimentation into the production of man-made life forms, the debate between science and religion has continued. It is these issues within an author’s context that influences them and the texts they create. Mary Shelley’s gothic promethean novel, Frankenstein (1818), was released during the industrial revolution as romanticism was thriving, while Ridley Scott’s futuristic sci-fi Blade runner (1992) grew with the dawning of a capitalistic increasingly globalised and technologically driven society.
People like Adam Smith, Ralph Chaplin, Friedrich Engels, and Karl Marx attempted to address certain problems and even offer solutions. Government legislation attempted to solve the problems of Industrial Revolution by passing laws that stopped the worker’s rights from being abused and production from being slowed. The Combination Act of 1800 hindered the growth of unions. Unions interfered with the speed and quality of production; therefore, in the government’s eyes it would have been better in the end if the rights of unions were stifled and their ability to go on strike was inhibited. If the workers went on strike there would be less products produced and then the prices would go up, because demand was the same while the supply goes down because there were no workers working in the factories.
Industrialization greatly affected the balance of power in the world. Those nations that did industrialize became significantly more powerful. The first nation to industrialize was Great Britain. One of the major effects of industrialization was the need for raw materials, so it encouraged colonialism. The European powers attempted to dominate in far-flung places in order to make sure that they had the resources needed to drive their
On one hand the Liberals brought in reforms for necessity. Some historians think negatively about the reasons for Liberal reforms. For example, the want to help poor working classes wasn’t due to a genuine desire to help but to oppose the rise of Labour. Another negative viewpoint of Liberal reforms concern the improvements of lives of children. Some argue that this in fact was to build a bigger, the economy can be seen not as a genuine desire to help unemployed and sick but to challenge Germany.
It is this force that essentially created this gap. Western nations taking valuable resources, including humans, from “third-world countries” allowed for those countries to be set back. Through economic means, the western countries underdeveloped their colonies by changing the industries to provide only raw materials. Yet, it is claimed that those countries created their own conditions and are the only ones to blame for their lack of advanced culture. Overpopulation is another idea used to blame the “third-world countries” while countries in Western Europe have a higher density.
This angered Stalin as he did not want West Germany to recover and be given Marshall Aid. Marshall Aid made tension worse because it divided Europe further, the west could get richer and the east would go poorer because Stalin would not accept Marshall Aid. The back round of the Berlin Blockade and airlift cause tension because the west wanted Germany to be more prosperous but Stalin wanted Germany and Berlin to be weak. Tension increased because Britain and America joined their zones together creating Bizona. Stalin got angrier when he heard that France joined to create Trizona.

American citizens pressured the government to regulate cooperations and trade in order to stop them from creating pools, make use of rebates, the monopolization of trade, and take advantage of the consumers which violated lassie faire ideas to a slight degree. Even though the regulations were small and did little to solve the problems presented by the people, it set the precedent for larger and stricter regulations to come into play in the future generations. American citizens also pressured the government to help preserve healthy competition in the business world but only to a minor degree. All of these actions changed the standards of what the government can do in the world of economics forever. Railroad expansion was relatively new during the gilded age.
This brought the Navigation Acts. These acts were to regulate trade for Britain's own benefits and forced colonists to trade almost only with England. The king of England also felt that the colonies were there only to make the mother country rich. The colonists felt that King George did not care about them but instead their money. This did not pass by the colonists'
