Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).
The Renaissance is equally known for its accelerated advances in technology and art. As you have learned in this week’s reading, art and technology, do not operate as independent entities. Think about how you perceive the relationship between art and technology as it exists today. Without researching the topic, describe your current perception of this relationship. There is no right or wrong answer. Then, using at least two specific examples from the reading, describe the relationship between art and technology in the Renaissance.

Much of the reading this week focuses on the rapid expansion of the economy aft

Much of the reading this week focuses on the rapid expansion of the economy after the Civil War, which included the creation of large corporations and huge personal fortunes for the lucky few.  These developments caused both excitement and anxiety, as Americans grappled with a new economic landscape that focused on mass production and a gradual deskilling of work.  Central to this new economy was the city and urban populations exploded during this era.  All of these developments challenged Americans’ image of themselves as a largely rural nation of independent landowners and workers.The first discussion this week considers the political and social backlash against the “incorporation” (as one historian put it) of America.  The Populist (or Alliance) Movement and creation of the Populist (or People’s) Party suggest the depth of the challenge to the new corporate order.  Pointing to specific details from the documents, “The Omaha Platform,” and “Stand Up for Nebraska,” https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/16-capital-and-labor/the-omaha-platform-of-the-peoples-party-1892/ , https://learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet02-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com/61c8ae5b549c7/5172197?X-Blackboard-S3-Bucket=learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet01-xythos&X-Blackboard-Expiration=1718172000000&X-Blackboard-Signature=Y%2BR8%2FIbX48XShWDIgmSUYJsc40hZBvyve%2B1xfKFdzfM%3D&X-Blackboard-Client-Id=171435&X-Blackboard-S3-Region=us-east-1&response-cache-control=private%2C%20max-age%3D21600&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27107_Stand%2520up%2520for%2520Nebraska_Populism%25281%2529.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjENH%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJIMEYCIQCCzW3zZ%2FlNKuB8cquJfx8AGgrqVbBRF8Wkae9T2sogQgIhAMkRm%2F76nrPtShuV57SfYzB20g750c0QlsXo2VpHwWqZKrIFCGkQBBoMNjM1NTY3OTI0MTgzIgyIHPnBTlgm4T6H4GsqjwXKUOY9m2E%2Bah6X8s%2FEq3qzyT1PYb3vt0XabgA9XRktUHi2oF7h%2FyZb0pdCCdhqzZJaZY1sAsxBtXsNPmc32d8K9BUZM3BHnHPh82JOQB3RNGXAHY0E82A3w1Xv4AfvWhJL9HhPC0boETSUGkKE2MHV8K0CB7pN%2BArvwmfFsGeTabg%2F5GdzHByKYdWXc1wc%2FFOvE4i1qDf3%2FL7LCf%2F7HYbZz9kdVcs8sZL40bxy7FBgayPBCUCuJLu%2Blvb%2FdxpDF4qai2oTBx5nHzS2qNWvgzEFfRS%2BZR4FRL2kbAx9eo89LfLXR6c2VQwVr3EWngUQbToTu%2BwWYdwav6ltfYIy5MmSzM0gteEgFZylDTLfuZT1hLtfAe8Jl%2BBHu7TnA%2FmIw%2FrqINeNGfvfCKeTuCqMNS3Hpqct4EAU5062csZYYE5Qc%2BDj9ZJGT75F6F7fapiatbY0QfIk9H4MR8J2m0DUMPTFDq1mhfNUsPGYPWP7Zpr4uF5NtDwoHiUohewCohT05zl%2Fin42eTmzjMSbI01ysou9ftGOLxpXQoE8guFcUKTScbjQacJNteUn2Vhl8Petbj2413aU76C4AokdJMw4n5nj2zUrMdapC05VQjge2Y7JbT33F4k0yPrzzJs9fyXj%2Frd4abuoK%2BCPn1%2B0InfuKLy4Kya2qkm4%2BknXVxoPvbpEzA0XzZb9IufNUogp9u5EezBV3im0%2FTOlsKUcIf74DBNaNbTZk4XOd8WSPhOw9HjAXKn6ZlDU6CqGbdELfxOvoutPsL74%2BBvwbwnzgQBnUsb1Kxoya4bXk3Od72n8kKkSRN8tekn8LfwZ2ApkioOnROElh44dHo7Oya9vw1GkxQpvXTKcef3eWTO9fOdjMqjsMKTRo7MGOrAB8DEFAoDor4OB6OhoEBAXNpVxNvEqQUfU4Ekj6znrFDFY%2BCti954m1BHxDSHdAldQ0Pmhdimobnc9jgW8u7GlfeFsIaUz8GYW23X18XwJuL1bqNDDNbjQz7fgHgndM2nsqSeXqPFZkdpalr9wWDSWHEvlsmAQ18pFj%2FGy1ExS4a22oNCulWahOtHz5ppkXCsIQFNNB%2F5HG0%2FKCO0z8sqlFE5T448g4ONmwPq1O6JJ6e0%3D&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20240612T000000Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=21600&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAZH6WM4PLZWVOQZAF%2F20240612%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=042b66216e0bf3bd4700d5dabbf80f476d0731deb52a12024ca8a7246dadd030address one or more of these questions:

How does steel magnate Andrew Carnegie defend the rise of big business?
Carnegie wrote this piece in 1885.  Would he still be able to make these arguments in the midst of the depression and political upheaval of the 1890s?  Why or why not?
What characteristics would you assign to this new industrial age based on the Luna Park photograph and Heinz advertisement and why?
