Introduction
You are
a member of a film production studio that has recently been hired
to produce a documentary about the Gilded Age of American
history.
American novelist Mark Twain coined the
term "Gilded Age" in an effort to illustrate the outwardly showy,
but inwardly corrupt nature of American society during the
industrialization of the late 1800's.
The documentary will need to highlight
the many aspects of society that made up the Gilded Age, including:
technological
innovation, big
business, urbanization,
immigration,
and reaction
to the period.
