Many 19th century writers developed ideas that still influence us today. For example, in November, 2018 ,one of the worst factory accidents in history happened in a chemical plant in China. At least 23 people were killed; harsh evidence that workers in China’s vast industrial sector are still prey to great dangers, even in relatively new plants.
19th Century German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary Karl Marx might have predicted this would happen.
In addition, many of the events of the 19th century, like the Civil War or the development of photography still have an impact on our lives today.
Choose one 19th century thinker or a 19th century event and explain, in at least 500 words, how you see its continuing relevance.
Note: the 19th century covers the years from 1800-1899.
HELPFUL HINTS: As you write about the event or thinker, you will need to move back and forth from the 1800’s to our modern era. What today is impacted by the event or thinker from the 1800’s? In your course slides they mentioned the invention of photography as one event, you are not required to use that one, but as an example, how has the invention of photography changed the course of human evolution? Photography changed wars, the civil rights movement and so much more. Examples of this could be found on the website for the Pulitzer Prize for Photography.
