If I could travel back in time, I would like to go back to the modern age. This is a historical period between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries.

This was a very exciting time in many ways. The changes generated by the scientific revolution and its inventions, the faith in science and its advances, and the expectation of finding the truth, made the world something truly exciting. In addition, although technology existed, the dependence on it was not so great. However, the process that marked the beginning of this period, known as the discovery of America, was a very violent process that was justified by science and religion.

On the other hand, in the field of the arts the modern age contains the period of the renaissance, in which many incredible artistic currents arose. An this time, artist such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Migel Ángel and Joan Sebastian Bach were born. From my perspective, Occident culture reached its highest point during this time, especially in the realm of the visual arts. 

Now, I must confess that there are some things from this time that scare me. One of them is the field of health. The diseases of the time and the high mortality, together with a lower life expectancy are things that I would not want to experience.

Finally, I think that the fact that historians have defined the end of this period with the historical landmark of the French Revolution is very significant and symbolic.For me, it expresses that the consequence of the evolution of societies over many years is a great change. The effects of that great change can still be seen today.
