Modernism was a philosophical movement that, along with cultural trends and changes that arose from wide-scale and far reaching transformations in western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries

Modernism, in common, incorporates the actions and inventions of those who believed the traditional styles of art, design, theme, spiritual faith, philosophy, social structure, movements of daily life, and despite the sciences, were growing ill-fitted to their duties and outdated in the new financial, cultural, and political situation of an emerging entirely industrialized world.  

A distinguishing feature of modernism is self-consciousness and ambiguity concerning arcane and social traditions, which frequently pointed to practices with form, on with the practice of procedures that brought recognition to the methods and materials utilized in producing a painting, poem, building, etc.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
