1. Briefly describe mass society and explain how it affected the economy and leisure activities.

2. At the end of the nineteenth century, many people appeared confident and prosperous, but others had doubts. Write a paragraph describing the two points of view. Who was feeling confident in how things were going? What was causing this confidence? People in which professions were sensing doubts? How did their work change our understanding of human nature and our concepts of art and music?

3. Describe how the living and working conditions in most cities changed between 1800 and 1900.

1. Mass society refers to any modern era society that retains a mass culture and large-scale and impersonal social institutions. It is a society in which bureaucracy and prosperity have led to the weakened conventional social ties. In such a society, most of the institutions are organized with the individuals in the aggregate and the similarities in the attitudes and behavior of the people is viewed as being more important than the differences. The life of the people living in such communities is governed by the mass relations. This means that the mass society tends to focus on the economy more and is less likely to focus on leisure activities for economic success purposes.

2. At the turn of the century, many countries were rich, people believed that social justice was being ensured and that countries were prospering. Others lived in fear because they were aware of the militaristic policies and they noticed that the militaries of all countries increased twice in size. Everything seemed as if things were going well while in reality people were preparing for a mass scale war which resulted with WW1.

3. People groups regular daily existences were enhancing amid the late 1800's. They went from straightforward, unadvanced approaches to much better and more helpful ways. A blast in developments. Refrigeration was concocted, making lives more beneficial since nourishment now could be put away in coolers rather and eating semi-ruined sustenances that were just kept great with salt. The best way to convey longer separations was through the Pony Express, however now messages could achieve many miles away speedier through Morse codes.

During the year 1800s, there is rapid population growth and a lack of infrastructure for supporting growth having a special place in the history of the U.S.

Many cities were being promoted to a special bond between people and develop the foundation of the society.

I hope this helps, Hopefully nobody reports and delete the answer there have been many r00d people on here doing that
