Though the two movements share an “oppos[ition] to reason and logic,” the medium they focused on differed widely (Tucker). Romanticists tended to find inspiration in the natural world while Modernists analyzed the way technology…

Violent-crime rates were rising for the third straight year, and homicides would set a record” (Smith). In addition, I can see from the video that the 1980s were a bad time for New Yorkers.
