Late Nineteenth Century Twentieth Century
1,017 words
During the late nineteenth century and early
twentieth century, a period known as the Gilded
Age, every man had the potential to become
wealthy, to advance into the esteemed social class
of the well- to-do. While this may have been
perceived as true by the wealthy, it was little

urban areas searching for opportunity. They were
welcomed by long work...

a poor sheep herdsman. The word herdsman, used to
describe his occupation, was not the common Hebrew

Italian Renaissance Middle Class
1,233 words
The Renaissance was the period from 1350 - 1600.
The Renaissance began first in the city-states of
Italy for many reasons. Although most of Europe
had become a big economic crisis during the late
Middle Ages, Italy managed to avoid everything and
their towns remained important centers of
Mediterranean trade and boost their production of
textiles and luxury goods. Town life was bigger in
Italy than in other parts of Europe. Therefore,
most Italians could easily discard feudalism and
