Social Life In The Movie Titanic

Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… Back then, peoples social lives were very different from how it is now. As shown in the movie "Titanic" we could see how each class was seperated by which floor on the ship you were able to be on. The lowest class as in people who could just barley afford to get on the ship, stayed on the lowest floor of the ship. People of royalty stayed on the highest floor as they were seen to be of "most importance." What does being in a high or low class mean for you? Well, it limits you to who you can talk to, who your friends can be, where you live, and even your reputation. In the movie we saw how out of place the boy who was on the lower class was when he got invited to dinner for helping the one mans fiancee. You could see him being discluded from the group and being put down all because he lives a different lifestlye then them.
In conclussion, the present is a time that is much easier to live in. With better a economy, fairer rights, and simply just being less stressful. Now, we do not have to worry about a war happining any minute, we do not have as many people working low wage jobs with no forms of safety, and people are more accepting of eachother and the social class you are in is not such a big deal like it was. With everything we have going right for us today, why would someone want to live in the past when theres more good today then there ever was.

    In the early seventeenth century, the Virginia Company of London was granted a charter for land in the New World, allowing England to stake its claim in the New World. This would sow the seed that would allow the Chesapeake colonies to burgeon. Likewise, in 1620, Pilgrims arrived in New England and formed Plymouth, which paved the path for New England colonies to emerge. Though sprouting at roughly the same time, these two colony groupings were incredibly idiosyncratic in comparison to each other as shown in their social, economic, and religious factors.…

    Pierre Trudeau 's attempts to create a sort of "National Identity" during his first term, from 1968 to 1972, has resulted in much debate and controversy. Each of these works looks at Pierre Trudeau from a different historiographical viewpoint. The reason for this is because Trudeau, and his "nationalist" policies, affected every aspect of Canadian citizens’ lives. This was due to the fact that Trudeau was essentially trying, in creating these policies, to answer the question that the Canadian intellectuals were struggling since World War II 's conclusion. This question was: "If [Canadians] are not British [due to the rapid decline of the British Empire] and not American [due to Canadians ' long held distrust of American power and influence]…

    20th century Canada has been heavily influenced by French-English relations and its negative impact on Canadian identity. The Conscription Crisis of WWI, the October Crisis, and the Meech Lake Accord, have been the most influential events in 20th century Canada. Canadian identity, when defined by its progression of French-English Relations, changed negatively during the 1920s to the 1930s under the Conscription Crisis of WWI. For instance, when Prime Minister Borden introduced conscription in 1917 the French-Canadians grew restless as Borden had previously claimed in 1914 that “There has not been, there will not be, compulsion or conscription.”…

    It is widely thought that the endings make the tale. What might Titanic, the film by James Cameron, be without its conclusion? In the stories of Kirikou and Sundiata, we see two particularly diverse endings that would bring about different reactions from different gatherings of people. The Treatment of the bad guy is meaningful at the end of it all due to the fact that it brings into question the judgment of the story 's hero. Looking into how others react to the shadow is essential on the grounds that it permits individuals to analyze what they would do to treat the shadow who wronged others.…
