“Very materialistic and spent money on clothes, accessories, fine furnishings.” I categorized it as continuity because that’s what we still spend our money on today. A lot of us spend our money on materialistic items such as clothing, accessories, and fine furnishings and the style of those items has changed since then. In order for us to live our everyday normal lives, we rely on these items, just as people before did. We buy clothing to look presentable to others and to keep warm, and jewelry because of how it looks, and it has personal significance to some individuals. We use fine furnishings such as beds, couches, chairs etc. throughout our day multiple times. Just as the people from the Victorian Era did. Taking everything into account, I decided to classify the statement “Very materialistic and spent money on cloths, accessories, fine furnishings.” As continuity dur to the fact that we still spend our money on these items today.

“Clothing was very formal: women wore long dresses and aprons; men wore hats, suits, and ties.” I decided to categorize this statement as change cause people in the 1800’s used to dress like this on a daily basis. But fashion has changed drastically through time. People today wear clothing that are more casual. The clothing we wear today include jeans, hoodies, leggings, t-shirts and more. Though we do dress formally on some occasions. Women today will wear dresses, skirts, and fancy looking blouses. Men today will wear suits and ties similar to men before, but not daily. Fashion is a high priority and it was especially during the Victorian Era. In he 1800’s, if your outfit was more deluxe and elegant looing, it would been because you were richer. Now, it all depends on what brand of hoodie or the brand of your shoes, for example Vans or Champion. In conclusion, the statement “clothing was very formal: women wore long dresses and aprons; men wore hats, suits, and ties.” Would be categorized as a change because of its elaborate development created overtime.
