    Henri Labrouste and Claude Ledoux were French architects during the 18th and 19th centuries and are pioneers of modern architecture. Henri Labrouste was born in 1801 and was the product of the renowned École des Beaux Arts School of Architecture. He believed that architecture should reflect society, and his work reflects the rationalism and technical aspects of industrial society. His work also embodies the ideals of writer Victor Hugo, who believed that architecture is a form of communication, like literature, and that in the beginning phases of construction it expressed the generalization of society and social commonalities. Claude Ledoux was born in 1736 and was one of the earliest exponents of neoclassical architecture. He gained architectural relevance after marrying the daughter of someone who worked for the royal court and was offered a job for the courts Water and Forestry Department.

    • 2 Pages

    Harriet Martineau was born on June 12 in 1802. She was an English social theorist. She wrote more than 50 books. She has translated various writings of August Comte. She is known for her perspective that 'When one studies a society, one must focus on all its aspects, including key political, religious, and social institutions'. She believed that understanding a women’s life can help in an analysis of a society. Martineau changed sociological opinions on issues, like, marriage, children, domestic and religious life, and race relations; which were previously ignored. Martineau wrote on the subject "Political Economy". Martineau's thoughts on Society in America, published in 1837, are examples of her approach to the area later known as sociological methods. Her ideas in this field were set out in her 1838 book How to Observe Morals and Manners. She believed that some very common social laws influence the life of any society, including the principle of progress, the rise of science as the most advanced product of human’s creative aims, and the importance of population and the natural physical environment. Some writers regard Martineau as "the first woman sociologist". Her introduction of Comte to the English-speaking world and the elements of sociological perspective in her original writings support her credit as a sociologist. Harriet Martineau was extraordinary both as a Victorian woman and an important revolutionary…
