In video B and C & Reading 6C, we witness stunning images of "civilizations" locked into a tragic contest -- for what, it is not clear. Certainly, though, it had something to do with people fighting for their nation -- nations that supposedly represented its citizens and their will. Along with nationalism, we see the consequences of colonialism and the bloody conflict between industrialized nations who had raced to exploit the globe, looking for cheap raw materials, and food to help feed the rising masses in their industrial cities. We see science and technology and it appears that the creator of these things -- European civilization -- is being destroyed by its own creation. Drawing a little from each video, and each short writing (from Valery and Remarque) write a thoughtful paragraph about how humans had fallen from their Enlightenment hopes (or progress, reason, peace, nature, etc). Use specifics from the written sources, the old film, and even the photographs from this week). (40 pts)3. In Reading 6C, we move forward to the fallout after WW1, and the approach of WW2.
