12. 1. Inside the History of Industry, when do
you think the action of the film happens?
In the Industrial Revolution.
13. 2. How is the factory organised? What
elements of the industrial process can you
see?
Is an assembly line factory.
The elements are: The workforce, the
technology and the management.
14. 3. Describe the work in the factory. Is
there division of labour?
In the assembly line a lot of people in a row
screw the different pieces.
There is a technical division of labour
because the teamwork is essencial in an
assembly line. Also there is a social
division, many people are in charge of
instructing the workers that are in the
assembly line, and other people like the
boss are in charge of making decisions,
like the decison of buying the machine that
feed the workers.
15. 4. What differences can you notice between
working during these times and working today?
I think nowadays the salary is better,
and there is a lot of more security for the
workers than before, probably there
were a lot of accidents, like the ones
that appear in the film.
16. 5. Give your opinion about the film. Did
you like it?
Although the film shows you how was
the life in those times, also is a good
social and political critique. Is the first
time I watch a Charles Chaplin film and I
never thought that the films were so
funny, I have laughed a lot. Now I know
why people call Chaplin a genius. I
recommend it for all the people.
