-There were new means of communication such as radio and film

Society around 1900

These inventions made it possible to reach a very large group of people at once. 

Film and radio are examples of mass media because of this.

This led to a modern mass society.

La belle époque

People saw life very positively around 1900 and had high hopes for the 20th century.

Causes:

- people were getting more and more of a say in politics

- people could buy more through the consumer society

- because of all the new inventions they could get much more information

the new inventions made life easier

   Example: electricity, vacuum cleaners, record players or washing machines

La belle époque

However, many people did not realize that this period also had bad sides.

- environmental pollution by industry

- industrialization brought new weapons to the market, which could be produced on a much larger, and cheaper, scale

             Examples: machine guns or poisonous gas

Around 1900, a modern mass society emerged. What do you think, are we still living in a mass society? Give an argument.

Socio-cultural changes

With urbanization, people developed a new kind of freedom, because in the city you are more anonymous.

Consequences:

a. Women became more independent due to new kind of jobs → growth of emancipation

b. Secularization due to rise of political movements such as socialism

c. New interest in art: Rise of abstract art
