Reading 16,17,18,19

Reading about the connections that the various Atlantic revolutionaries shared was interesting and reading that the Atlantic basin had become a world of intellectual and cultural exchange.it was interesting to see how this idea were driven from the European enlightenment and it was shared across the ocean through newspaper and books. It’s interesting to me to read this thing because I really get to see how much history has changed or how in a way it still remains the same. I really enjoyed reading the French revolution in depth and see how everything started because I remember in high school studying about it, but I didn’t really remember a lot. I found it interesting how the social conflicts gave the French Revolution a much more violent,far-reaching and radical character compare to the American who was its counterpart.it was nice to read about the gender roles, in the French revolution and how Strayer mentions that it didn’t not create a new society for female political equality. Compared to the questions that had risen compared to the American Revolution. It’s crazy how much women roles have change when it comes to politics because during this time in history women have been discriminated in politics and to read that French women were active in the major events of the revolution. Reading about the industrial revolution was interesting as well looking at all its major key. I Strayer mentions that improving material conditions during the second half of the 19 century helped to move the working class movement in Britian,Germany.Also Europe’s industrial revolution prompted a massive migratory process that uprooted many millions, settings them in motion both internally and around globe. This week’s reading was also interesting to read about women and the colonial economy. Its nice to see how women from the past were active in everything including being active farmers. But it seems that know gender roles really influence what people think. If you see a woman doing something that is male dominant they make it seem like it is so out of the norm. It’s nice to see how before things were different. In my opinion, I think that instead of progressing we are going backwards.
