Modern Times

Modern Times were characterized by changes in society because of certain phenomena that affected people's way of life like industrialization and modernity. Industrialization was an economical phenomenon which consisted of the creation of industries along the city in order to promote a better and faster productivity. Labor force was made to work hard and fast many hours a day but did not earn so much money. Their employers just exploited them to earn more money themselves. Due to this issue, working class people were becoming poorer and thereby many people started to lose their jobs.

In contrast to this latter, modernity was realized through the creation of certain technological devices that were intended making people's way of life easier such as telephone, automobile, light bulb, etc. Furthermore, commerce became an important and attractive thing during this period. That's why many kinds of malls began to be created. Nevertheless, this latter contributed to the apparition of a new popular phenomenon known as consumerism that also shaped people's way of life.
