Today was our theater history day. We continued our discussion on Modernism and the people who influenced it. Modernism was a shift in history that was influenced by the forces questioning religion and science. Modernism is the reaction to realism. People such as Einstein, Frazer, Saussare, and many others influenced modernism. Frazer's thesis in his work The Golden Bough stated that all religions were basically teaching the same things. Saussare was the father of seminotics, which was the study that signs and symbols play a big factor of the way you see things in your mind.  Einstein described the theory of relativity.
