1. Review
2. Today, in socials we began by talking about the Victorian Era
(1837-1901). Queen Victoria greatly influenced this period and that her
influence extended outside of Britain to Canada and the United States.
We then looked
at some photos from the Victorian Era and I explained how the Victorians
were very sure of themselves and put high value on personal modesty and
on gravity. The Queen was a model of her era and
that the British saw themselves as the center of the known world.
Victorians believed that they should strive to find the golden mean or golden middle, which is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency.
We then watched a film called the Crystal palace (link here).
The palace was built to contain an exhibition similar to a modern day
EXPO. The exhibition demonstrated the ingenuity and achievement of the
British Empire. The film also discussed how imperialism brought great
riches to Britain, as well as, increased its power. We will watch the
second half of the clip on Monday.
