History

creativ13 [48]3 years ago
5 0

The British had an empire to run. The way that they kept their economy healthy was through a system called mercantilism. Mercantilism was a popular economic philosophy in the 17th and 18th centuries. In this system, the British colonies were moneymakers for the mother country. The British put restrictions on how their colonies spent their money so that they could control their economies. They put limits on what goods the colonies could produce, whose ships they could use, and most importantly, with whom they could trade. The British even put taxes called duties on imported goods to discourage this practice. This pushed the colonists to buy only British goods, instead of goods from other European countries

<span>Mass culture is defined as the appeal of different forms of entertainment to a much larger audience. ''Towards the end of the 1800's, a popular entertainment activity was a trip to the music hall, which would host singers, dancers, comedians, jugglers, and acrobats in shows called vaudeville. Now, in the 21st century, for entertainment we can watch the same thing without the trip using the television. Likewise, movies became a hit in the 1880's, and continued to entertain the populous through the century. The same case is true for sports games. Though not everything is the same. Back then, physical performances such as dance show and plays were much more common than they are today. Nowadays, we have technology  to entertain the masses.''

Do you see preservation of literature as a form of resistance ? Why or why not ?
svetlana [45]

Yes.

We have seen, in history, time and again, literature used as a form of resistance.

Literature has the ability to tell stories that powerful people do not want told. As a result, literature can spread and stories can be told that erode the hold of the powerful.

This was a powerful tool in both Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany.
