I need help understanding a humanities question?

answers1: Are you taking Humanities Renaissance? If so,you first have
to understand what he is asking you. The Romantic notion was the type
of art and mood of the artist in this era. The Industrial Age was
when London had the great stink, with sewage problems,. Yet the
population was growing, people were moving there for the work and
hoping for a better living. So, this made the Industry grow, and
factories boom. These were gloomy times but people pretended that they
were so happy...There is a word in the text that was used to express
this pretense state of mind . Maybe he is speaking about the nature of
the people or Big Industrial businesses. If this don't help ask your
instructor, they will explain further.
answers2: Hey there! Someone in my Twitter feed shared this page so I
came to check it out. I'm definitely enjoying the information. I'm
bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
answers3: The question isn't about how the world will end and its
cause--nature or machines. <br>
<br>
It's looking back--saying that there had been the Romantic notion that
Nature was the most powerful force. Then along came the Industrial
Revolution, which celebrated the power and importance of machines.
<br>
<br>
The question is: How was this belief/faith in machines evident in the
Industrial Age? <br>
<br>
I don't want to write the answer for you, but look at what happened in
the Industrial Age. The things that most seemed to affect society were
inventions. Machines. And in many cases there was the belief that the
machines actually could counteract or overcome nature. Expand on that
thought with some examples. (Hint: Airplanes overcoming
gravity...except when you have experiences like the Hindenburg. Or
ships overcoming oceans...except when you have experiences like the
Titanic.) <br>
<br>
Hope that helps.
