You may agree or disagree with your friends’ distaste for all things modern and revolutionary, but your answer should be based on the evidence you have discovered during our study of the humanities, including the reading for this unit. Is there a respectable way to make sense of modernist movements, or are they simply rebellion for its own sake?
