When this happens, a change in productions happens, and eventually leads to a rapid change in society as a whole. The term means of production is included in the mode of production, like factories, machines, or materials. Marx believes that history evolves from mode of production and the…

While the bourgeoisie has the access to the means of production, the proletariat does not. This forces the proletariat into selling their labour to the capitalists in order to make money to survive.

There is a saying that says “the empire on which the sun never sets on, the British empire”,…

new machines, sciences, and ideas dominated. These advances in history changed millions of lives. Fast travel, communication, mass-production and so much more became a part of this new, high functioning and effective society. This, of course, brought different feelings of inspiration and expression among artists during this time. Responses to these transitions in economic culture formed these three art movements: Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism. These movements expressed this time period…
