Diverse Interpretations
Modernization is positive, it’s better for
everyone so don’t resist. Accept science,
accept enlightenment, accept
industrialization, a free market. (Western

Humanitarian Factor and Economic Factor.
Women: should they have more rights
because of their role in revolutions? Roles
more defined. Settler colony more equality
