Modernism was a cultural movement of the late 19th century to the mid-20th century.
It changed art, literature, music, architecture and drama.
Modernism rejected tradition.
It was interested in new ways of doing old things.
Also, there was a belief that science and technology could change the world for the better.
The details differ greatly, and the term covers some movements which are somewhat contradictory.
Modern art replaced classical art.
It included abstract art, cubism, pop art, minimalism, and Dadaism.
It affected sculpture quite strongly, though at the beginning sculptors like Rodin and Epstein made both traditional and modernist works.
Henry Moore is one of the most famous modernist sculptors.
Composers such as Stravinsky, George Antheil and Schoenberg are modernists.
Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) is a landmark work.
Ballets such as The Rite of Spring and Les Noces (The Wedding) mark the arrival of modernism into this traditional dance form.
Modern dance outside of ballet started with Isadora Duncan, Loie Fuller and Ruth St. Denis.
James Joyce's Ulysses is the classic example of modernism in the novel.
Ulysses (1922) has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire Modernist movement".
Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis (1915), The Trial (1925) and T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land (1922) are also prime examples.
Looking back, it is clear that: Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) had a great influence on other writers.
The arrival of magic realism is part of modernism.
The novels and short stories of Mikhail Bulgakov such as Diabolidad and The Master and Margarita are examples.
Modernism in architecture is found in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius the founder of Bauhaus, and Mies van der Rohe.
Le Corbusier's famous remark "A building is a machine for living in" shows how different his thinking was to architects of the 19th century.
The skyscraper, such as Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building in New York (1956–1958), became the archetypal modernist building.
A criticism of the modern movement is that it does not value tradition, and goes in for change for the sake of change.
What modernists want most is freedom of expression, or, perhaps, freedom of experimentation.
This is why many modern paintings avoid making visual copies of real things.
In modernist literature, an author may leave out plots or narrative or characterization in books.
These experiments were not random.
They drew on the ideas of their day: mass media, science and technology, Marxism, Freudian psychology, and so on.
There was a general search for new materials, new methods and new ideas.
There was often a rejection of elitism, and a love of populism and popular culture.
Another criticism was of the connection between modernism and socialism.
Certainly many modernists were also socialists.
In the early days of socialism it seemed to offer hope of a new future without the baggage of the past.
This also explains their rejection of tradition.
The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was a time of Queen Victoria's rule from 1837 to 1901.
This time was very prosperous for the British people.
Trade was at its best.
A well educated middle class ruled the country and the British Empire.
Other countries also prospered but Britain became the greatest great power.
The Industrial Revolution continued to increase productivity and prosperity, especially in the middle and later parts of Victoria's reign.
Making iron and steel was a basic industry.
The furnaces were fired with coal.
Shipbuilding was a major industry.
Canals and steam railways connected all parts of the country, and British steamships connected the world.
Cotton and wool were made into cloth and exported.
Ceramics were also a major industry.
One important change in the Victorian era was the making of the sewage system in London.
In 1829 photography was invented.
Gas lighting was important too.
Streetlights became common first, followed by lights in public buildings and at home.
In the 1880s people began making power stations and distribution systems to feed the new electric lightbulbs.
Economic changes
Britain began ruling its trading colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.
The British Empire now extended all over the world.
It used new technologies like the railways and electric telegraph to communicate across these regions.
Many British citizens moved to the colonies to make their fortune.
Industrialisation brought with it a rapidly growing middle class.
They were not aristocrats and landowners, but on the other hand they were not unskilled workers.
They were the people who created, managed and ran the new industrial factories.
In the Victorian era, the middle class people owned their own houses.
The family home often included three generations.
The concept of "privacy" became a mark of the middle class life.
What went on in those homes was the themes of many mid-century novelists.
The printing press became faster in the nineteenth century and paper was cheaper too.
The "taxes on knowledge" on newspapers and printed advertisements were lifted.
This made magazines and newspapers cheaper.
The government tried to improve literacy rates by starting schools for the poor.
More books were written for, and read by, the newly educated middle classes.
More theatres opened in London.
Orchestras and symphonies played, and operas were widely attended.
Gambling at cards and new casinos became popular during the period.
In the middle of the 19th century saw The Great Exhibition of 1851, the first World's Fair, and showed the greatest creations of the century.
After Stalin died, a group led the Soviet Union for a while.
Georgi Malenkov was the Premier of the Soviet Union; Lavrentiy Beria, head of the Ministry of the Interior; and Nikita Khrushchev was First Secretary of the Central Committee.
Because Stalin had so prominent a control over the Soviet Union,  he was placed on a pedestal both at home and among communists abroad.
In the years 1953–1955, a period of "silent de-Stalinization" took place, as the revision of Stalin's policies was done in secret, and often with no explanation.
In 1954, Nikita Khrushchev became the leader of the Soviet Union.
He attempted to reform the Soviet government and change how socialism in the country should be ran.
In order to do this, he had to change the way the public thought of Stalin, this is called revisionism.
He removed Stalin's corpse out of the mausoleum in Red Square and he changed the name of Stalingrad (which was named after Stalin) to Volgograd.
Some people disliked Khrushchev’s foreign policies, calling it imperialistic.
Those who oppose revisionism are called anti-revisionist.

The medal was first given to J.J. Thomson in 1902 "for his numerous contributions to electric science, especially in reference to the phenomena of electric discharge in gases".
It has been awarded over a hundred times.
At first it was awarded annually, now it is every two years.
Unlike some other Royal Society medals, the Hughes Medal has never been awarded to the same person more than once.
Only one woman has won it: Michele Dougherty in 2008, who was awarded the medal "for innovative use of magnetic field data that led to discovery of an atmosphere around one of Saturn's moons and the way it revolutionised our view of the role of planetary moons in the Solar System".

Sir Joseph John "J.J." Thomson, OM, FRS (18 December 1856 – 30 August 1940) was a British physicist and Nobel laureate.
He discovered the electron and isotopes, and invented the mass spectrometer.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his discovery of the electron and his work on the conduction of electricity in gases.
John Joseph Thomson in 1893 said: "There is no other branch of physics which affords us so promising an opportunity of penetrating the secret of electricity."
In 1897, Thomson showed that cathode rays were composed of a previously unknown negatively charged particle of very small mass compared to its electric charge.
It was later called the electron and was the first subatomic particle to be found.
Thomson also found the first evidence for isotopes of a stable (non-radioactive) element in 1913, while studying anode rays (positive cations).
In atomic theory he hypothesized that atoms were spheres of evenly spread positive charge, where an individual negatively charged electron resided.
He later concluded there was more than one negatively charged particle in an atom.
Johann Wilhelm Hittorf (March 27, 1824 – November 28, 1914) was a German physicist who was born in Bonn and died in Münster, Germany.
He was the first to compute the electric capacity of charged atoms and molecules (ions).

Terraforming is changing a planet or large natural satellite that we cannot live on at present without spacesuits and similar technology.
The idea is to change it so some life from Earth could exist there.
It would need a suitable atmosphere (air), heat, and water. "
Paraterraforming" or "worldhousing" is a variant of terraforming that would involve building domes over the majority of a planet or moon.
It is arguable that we have already succeeded in terraforming right here on Earth.
Thanks to modern technology, humans can now thrive in places that should be impossible to live in such as deserts and the Arctic.

The early modern period is a time from 15001800 (roughly).
This time follows the Middle Ages.
It is the start of recognizable nations that we know today.
In the history of Europe, the early modern period follows the Medieval period.
It begins around the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, and includes the Renaissance period, and the Age of Discovery.
It includes the discovery of America, and the discovery of the sea route to the East.
It ends around the French Revolution in 1789.
In 1453 Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire.
Science, transport, and communications improved.
This is also called the Renaissance.
For European countries with many ships, this was the Age of Discovery.
Europe was beginning to expand to the New World.
Trade with Asia was common, after Europeans found their way around Africa and into the Indian Ocean.
Late in this period the European countries started setting up colonies there.
The Mughal Empire began in 1526.
This Empire had a orderly government, widespread economic prosperity and religious tolerance.
At this time Asia was flourishing in Math and Science.
Also the Ottoman Empire was ruling the Middle East, along with the Persian Empire.
The National Assembly is a type of legislature in some countries.
The best known National Assembly, and the first legislature to be known by this title, was established during the French Revolution in 1789, known as the Assemblée Nationale.
Almost every country in Africa has a National Assembly.
However, outside of Africa there are not that many countries with National assembly.
In Europe there is Britain, France, Germany etc.
In Asia there is China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan,Bangladesh etc.
Kenneth Harry Clarke, Baron Clarke of Nottingham,  (born 2 July 1940), often known as Ken Clarke, is a British politician.
He was the Justice Secretary in the coalition government.
Clarke has had a long career in politics and has served in the cabinets of Margaret Thatcher and John Major.
On February 26, 2017, Clarke became Father of the House after the death of Gerald Kaufman.
Early life and politics
Clarke was born in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, England and was educated at the University of Cambridge.
He became the Member of Parliament for Rushcliffe at the 1970 general election and became a Queen's Counsel in 1980.
He held a number of lower positions in government under Margaret Thatcher until she promoted him to Health Secretary in 1988.
He became Education Secretary in 1990 and when Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister and was replaced with John Major he stayed on as Health Secretary until 1992 when he was promoted to Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He stayed as Chancellor until 1997 when the Conservatives were defeated in the General Election.
In opposition
John Major resigned as leader of the Conservative Party soon after he was defeated in the general election and Clarke stood for election to replace him as leader and therefore become the Leader of the Opposition.
However he was defeated by William Hague in this contest.
When Hague himself resigned after losing the 2001 General Election Clarke again stood for leader but was defeated by Iain Duncan Smith.
In 2005 he stood for the leadership for a third time but was defeated by David Cameron.
It is thought that Clarke was unable to become leader because many in the Conservative Party do not wish to see the United Kingdom replace the pound with the Euro as the main currency whereas Clarke has always been very much in favour of this policy.
As Shadow Business Secretary
Clarke returned to the Conservative front bench in 2009 as the Shadow Business Secretary where he has the job of monitoring the performance of the current Business Secretary Peter Mandelson.
When the coalition government was formed on 11 May 2010 Clarke was made the Justice Secretary.

Die Lollipops is a children's band which formed in Germany in the summer of 2000 under the Edelkids label, a division of a German company named Edel Music.
According to the label's website, the primary intended audience for the band is German-speaking children between 4 and 10 years old.
Traditional children's songs, whether native or international;
Covers, or songs in which the melody is borrowed from a popular song (often from the English-speaking world) but the lyrics are unrelated; and
Original songs invented by the group.
This accounts for the largest number of songs, especially in the more recent releases.
Die is German for "the" (plural); Lollipops is a loanword from English.
The most common German word for lollipop is Lutscher, but Germans now also use Lollipop.
The band debuted in July 2000 with an album called die Lollipops and have released new CDs, videos, and audio books at the rate of about two per year.
As of 2005, their label had sold more than 1.5 million of their CDs and videos, of which 8 made it to gold, and one made it to platinum.
Note that the meanings of the terms platinum and gold are different for different countries: in Germany gold signifies 100,000 sales and platinum 200,000.
Die Lollipops has featured two singers at a time for most of its history; generally these have been girls between the ages of about 11 and 16.
Because the band has been around for nine years, they must replace their singers with new ones every few years.
The current duet started recording in late 2007 with Susi and Fiona (then 12 and 11 years old respectively).
They released an album called Einfach tierisch in March 2008, and plan to release another one called Immer in Bewegung in July 2009.
Peter Hoffmann has remained the producer since the group was formed.
The band has attracted composers from other bands registered by Edel Music; a singer named Klaus Büchner had written a song about drinking alcohol called Wir feiern wieder Feste in 1987 when he was singing in his own band, called Klaus & Klaus; he then re-wrote it as a children's song about a never-ending party for die Lollipops.
The title of the song is still the same and the syllable rhythms are similar, especially in the chorus.
Due to the language barrier, the Lollipops are largely unheard of outside the German-speaking world.
Their music can be downloaded via websites such as Amazon.com.

Pikas are small mammals that resemble chinchillas.
Chinchillas are rodents, but pikas are related to the hare and the rabbit, they are lagomorphs.
Pikas are also known as rock rabbits or coneys.
There are 30 different species of pika.
Most Pikas live in colder climates, on rocky mountain slopes, in Asia, North America and parts of Eastern Europe.
They are active during the day or the twilight, that is at nightfall, and in early morning.
Pikas do not hibernate.
They collect hay, which they pile up to dry.
They sometimes steal hay from each other.
This often results in disputes.
Predators, like ferrets, and large birds often use such disputes to catch pikas.

The Two-source hypothesis is a hypothesis that was made in the 19th century.
It tries to explain what is called the synoptic problem in Christian theology.
This problem is that certain parts of the gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke have texts that are very similar.
The hypothesis claims that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were written based on the gospel of Mark, and lost source text, called Q. The Q is for German Quelle, and means source.
The lost document was likely a collection of Jesus' sayings, very probably written in Ancient Greek.
The hypothesis is widely accepted among Christian scholars.
There is something that is called minor agreements.
These are parts of the text, where both Matthew and Luke agree, but where Mark does not.
To explain this,  many people believe that Matthew and Luke did not use the text of Mark as it was included in the New Testament, but rather an earlier version.
Some people even say that they did not use the same version of this earlier text.
This could also explain why the text in Mk 6,45-8,26 is missing from Luke.
The two source hypothesis requires a second source, called Q. The problem is that this source is not mentioned in the many fragments of early Christian texts that were found, or in the early Christian Church tradition.

Tay-Sachs disease (also called Tray-Sachs syndrome) is a disease that causes problems with the metabolism of fat.
Tay-Sachs is caused by a lack of the enzyme Hexosaminidase A.
Tay-Sachs is a genetic disease.
It happens when Chromosome 15 has a genetic problem.
The problem is caused by a defective HEXA gene.
It is recessive, which means both parents must give the baby the defective gene for the baby to have Tay-Sachs.
One in every twenty seven Jewish American has one defective gene and can give Tay-Sachs the defective gene to their child.
The disease is very rare.
It is most common in Jewish families.
There is a blood test to see if a person has the Tay Sachs gene.
This blood test has helped reduce the number of babies born with Tay-Sachs.
In 1800’s, there were 60 new cases and in the 21st century there were 5.
Infants with the Tay-Sachs gene from both parents usually die of pneumonia or other infections during their first four years of life.
Some symptoms include: lack of energy, loss of vision and motor skills (paralyzation), and seizures.
Tay–Sachs disease is usually first noticed in infants around six months old.
They show an abnormally strong response to sudden noises or other stimulus.
This is called the "startle response".
The child may also be listlessness or have muscle stiffness (hypertonia).
The disease is classified into several forms, which are based on the age when the neurological symptoms began.
There is no known treatment for this disease.
The disease is named after Warren Tay and Bernard Sachs who first described the disease in the late 19th century.
After the discovery, he noticed a red spot on the retina of a one year old child.
The child was experiencing the same symptoms of the disease.
Bernard Sachs was a neurologist from the United States.
He was the first person to describe the cellular changes from the disease.
In 1969, researchers discovered that Tay-Sachs is caused by a lack of the enzyme Hexosaminidase A.
