"Modern Times" Post

Hello everybody,

Considering the fact that Industrialization was forcing people to change their ways of living, I could say that that was expressed in the beginning of the film where the guy started to act madly because of the amount of time he had to work. That's one of the things that happened in London where poor people who used to live in the outskirts of the city travel to it, thanks to the train invention, to find better opportunities and instead found themselves transformed in the worked social class.
Also, it brought new requirements to get a job, for instance, people had to acquire new knowledge about the inventions. This part could be represented by the scene where the main character got mad and the employee in charge of the machines was trying to put the buttons in the right position while he was messing around with them. Moreover, the inventions produced changes in the language because they were needing new words to refer to them.

Cheers!
