This quarantine is not boring at all. On the contrary, it is being very tiring. The intensity of the work has increased a lot. There's no time to start or a limit to finish.Since whatsapp has become the main work tool, we homeoffice workers are being hit by the workday. The days are being the same even on Sunday. We are having few opportunities for leisure.

On this quarentine, I’ve started to watch a lot of TV series, but that one that I most like was “Modern Family”, it talks about a family and their routine, it’s very funny. Besides that, I’ve watched again another TV series: “Friends” and “How I Met Your Mother”. My favorite one for life is “Friends”, I don’t know how many time I’ve already watched it, but I always laugh a lot watching, I love Chandler and Rachel, they’re my favorite characters.

Homework by Telma
During the quarantine period...
I have been afraid of surfing the Internet for a long time. Fake news,  data cloning, plans to extort money, everything scared me. The pandemic of Covid-19 came and, with it, the quarantine. Suddenly, life has changed.
I must be online for English and French classes. I needed to research subjects on the Web for speeches, essays, homeworks. During this process I discovered and redescovered many interesting and beautiful things. I have found the world again: arts, music, literature, real-time news and much more, quickly, in my hands!
I have to admit, the Internet is making my isolation days easier.
I still worry about it because the network has its dangers, but it has always been a pleasure to have acess to everything I like with out living home!

The French Revolution - summary

What was the French Revolution?

Why did the French Revolution happen?

Why did the French Revolution lead to war with other nations?

How did the French Revolution succeed?

French Revolution, revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789-hence the conventional term "Revolution of 1789," denoting the end of the ancien régime in France and serving also to distinguish that event from the later French revolutions of 1830 and 1848.

Origins of the Revolution

The French Revolution had general causes common to all the revolutions of the West at the end of the 18th century and particular causes that explain why it was by far the most violent and the most universally significant of these revolutions. The first of the general causes was the social structure of the West. The feudal regime had been weakened step-by-step and had already disappeared in parts of Europe. The increasingly numerous and prosperous elite of wealthy commoners-merchants, manufacturers, and professionals, often called the bourgeoisie-aspired to political power in those countries where it did not already possess it. The peasants, many of whom owned land, had attained an improved standard of living and education and wanted to get rid of the last vestiges of feudalism so as to acquire the full rights of landowners and to be free to increase their holdings. Furthermore, from about 1730, higher standards of living had reduced the mortality rate among adults considerably. This, together with other factors, had led to an increase in the population of Europe unprecedented for several centuries: it doubled between 1715 and 1800. For France, which with 26 million inhabitants in 1789 was the most populated country of Europe, the problem was most acute.

A larger population created a greater demand for food and consumer goods. The discovery of new gold mines in Brazil had led to a general rise in prices throughout the West from about 1730, indicating a prosperous economic situation. From about 1770, this trend slackened, and economic crises, provoking alarm and even revolt, became frequent. Arguments for social reform began to be advanced. The philosophes-intellectuals whose writings inspired these arguments-were certainly influenced by 17th-century theorists such as René Descartes, Benedict de Spinoza and John Locke, but they came to very different conclusions about political, social, and economic matters. A revolution seemed necessary to apply the ideas of Montesquieu, Voltaire, or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This Enlightenment was spread among the educated classes by the many "societies of thought" that were founded at that time: masonic lodges, agricultural societies, and reading rooms.

It is uncertain, however, whether revolution would have come without the added presence of a political crisis. Faced with the heavy expenditure that the wars of the 18th century entailed, the rulers of Europe sought to raise money by taxing the nobles and clergy, who in most countries had hitherto been exempt, To justify this, the rulers likewise invoked the arguments of advanced thinkers by adopting the role of " enlightened despots." This provoked reaction throughout Europe from the privileged bodies, diets. and estates. In North America this backlash caused the American Revolution, which began with the refusal to pay a tax imposed by the king of Great Britain. Monarchs tried to stop this reaction of the aristocracy, and both rulers and the privileged classes sought allies among the nonprivileged bourgeois and the peasants.

Plots and Revolutions Quiz

Although scholarly debate continues about the exact causes of the Revolution, the following reasons are commonly adduced: (1) the bourgeoisie resented its exclusion from political power and positions of honour; (2) the peasants were acutely aware of their situation and were less and less willing to support the anachronistic and burdensome feudal system; (3) the philosophes had been read more widely in France than anywhere else; (4) French participation in the American Revolution had driven the government to the brink of bankruptcy; (5) France was the most populous country in Europe, and crop failures in much of the country in 1788, coming on top of a long period of economic difficulties, compounded existing restlessness; and (6) the French monarchy, no longer seen as divinely ordained, was unable to adapt to the political and societal pressures that were being exerted on it.

Aristocratic revolt, 1787-89

The Revolution took shape in France when the controller general of finances, Charles-Alexandre de Calonne, arranged the summoning of an assembly of "notables" (prelates, great noblemen, and a few representatives of the bourgeoisie) in February 1787 to propose reforms designed to eliminate the budget deficit by increasing the taxation of the privileged classes. The assembly refused to take responsibility for the reforms and suggested the calling of the Estates-General, which represented the clergy, the aristocracy, and the Third Estate (the commoners) and which had not met since 1614. The efforts made by Calonne's successors to enforce fiscal reforms in spite of resistance by the privileged classes led to the so-called revolt of the "aristocratic bodies," notably that of the parlements (the most important courts of justice), whose powers were curtailed by the edict of May 1788.

During the spring and summer of 1788, there was unrest among the populace in Paris, Grenoble, Dijon, Toulouse, Pau, and Rennes. The king, Louis XVI, had to yield. He reappointed reform-minded Jacques Necker as the finance minister and promised to convene the Estates-General on May 5, 1789. He also, in practice, granted freedom of the press, and France was flooded with pamphlets addressing the reconstruction of the state. The elections to the Estates-General, held between January and April 1789, coincided with further disturbances, as the harvest of 1788 had been a bad one. There were practically no exclusions from the voting; and the electors drew up cahiers de doléances, which listed their grievances and hopes. They elected 600 deputies for the Third Estate, 300 for the nobility, and 300 for the clergy.

In this moment, I’ve read a lot. I’ve taken time to read two great books. One of them was read by me many years ago. Its name is American Gods e there is a TV serie about it, in Amazon Prime. I just love this book, which was written by Neil Gaiman, a British author. I discovered Gaiman’s talent when I was at the beginning of the communication college. I studied at the UFMG Campus e a friend of mine had a newsstand at the entrance to Avenue Antônio Carlos. I loved to go there and see magazine and comic book releases. Neil Gaiman wrote a famous comic book, called Sandman. The stories were fantastic, about gods, spirits, demons and other supernatural entities. This kind of story has always fascinated me. Now, because of quarantine and TV serie, I’m reading American Gods again. The second book I’m reading is Sapiens, the brief history of humanity. This book covers the history of humanity from the beginning until the present day. It is very interesting and easy to understand.
