We read Hansen Baldwin’s secondary account of the
Titanic, we read eye-witness, primary accounts and we watched the film that recreated
the events of the tragic voyage. Using all of these sources plus any websites, explain
how the prioritization of superficial features in the construction of the
Titanic was a reflection of what society valued at the time and perhaps, still holds true today.
Appropriate quote:
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
