Journal 71: Historical Influences

Ok, so i looked at the timeline, and three event came into my mind to be particular impacting. The Titanic, world war 1, and the feminist movement, well potentially the panamal canal. The panamal canal helped ended the great depression that's for sure. THen there is the all tragic story of the Titanic. Its so romanticised that it is to the point of disgusting in the movie. The beautiful ship was all dramatic and stuff at the current time i suppose.
Then World War 1 is definitely impacting for the society. Having so many people fighting each other and people all over the world to be dying is quite intense. The suffering and the amount of death and trench warfare is unbelievable.
The feminist movement of political rights is a modern idea that no men would be crazy enough to propose such idea to the society. All political positions was being held by men all the time in history. Nothing suggested women to be in charge. So when women pushed for their political and voting rights, that must have been pretty devastating to people.
