3.  In the crisis of the 1930’s

4.  There is a division of labor, the workers
are in different places of the factory and
they work in groups, doing different
things to transform the products.
 We can see intermediate products,
workforce and technology.

5.  There is a division of labor. Different
groups of people work on different types
of machines to obtain other products or
to transform something made by
another group of workers.

6.  The main difference is the use of the
industrial technology in the machines
with which they work, and of course the
situation of the workers in terms of
schedule and labor conditions.

7.  I liked the film because when I was
young my grandfather showed me lots
of these films, and I think that they are
really funny and interesting. I love the
way Charles Chaplin acts.
