History of Modern Britain

The video present various reactions of the people to mingling and free movement of the people. There are those who felt that some people did not deserve to mingle freely with others (Marr, British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC Worldwide Ltd, & 2 Entertain, 2009). These sentiments were based on racial differences and most of the people who felt this way were racists who could not understand how people belonging to different racial backgrounds could mingle. The main perspective that is presented in this clip is clash of civilization. This is because most of the sentiments that many shared during the periods that the clip is based on had different feelings towards the changes that were being made. Many people wanted everything to remain the way they were while others wanted change more than anything did. This made the society to clash as a result of various changes that were taking place.

Clash of civilization affected modern Britain in so many due to the many changes that took place in such a short period. Different groups in the society did not know what to believe and had to make big choices fast. There are those who were easily convinced to follow what the new civilization had brought while others opted to oppose many things that came with this kind of civilization. Civilization while done slowly can be effective but when it is rushed, it may cause more harm than good. In the history of modern Britain, more harm than good came from civilization.

Many of the clashes that were felt were based on cultural and religious beliefs. There are many changes that took place during the modernization period of Britain and these changes highly challenged people’s beliefs. Most people treasured their religious beliefs and did not like the fact that there were changes that were being made that did not support what they were used to.
