While explaining his point of view on modern society‚ Brooks’ gets me to start thinking about who we used to be as a society‚ how traditions have an effect on us and finally when times start to change‚ along with our morals.

A quote found in the book that defines Canada’s globalization is “The central feature of Canada’s economic condition is the degree to which it is dependent on markets outside of Canadian borders” (Brooks‚ 483).

Photography in the Civil War Although the civil war was a very gruesome war killing 600‚000 people‚ looking back on history without photography it could not have been a modern war (Brooks).
