Enlightenment
was shown heavily through the RSAnimation video that I Watched in class, it
showed a nice take on how in the 18th century our founding fathers
have came up with an idea or ideas, that could change the country. The
enlightenment made public schools, a currency that we still use today, it
helped break Americans away from many of their ties they had with England. I’d
say many if not every country has had some sort of enlightenment, this is where
they try to set boundary for everyday lives to or in order to be happy so they
say.
Personally
I think its time for a new enlightenment, the 21st century is in
desperate need of one. All we do as every day working Americans is make the
rich richer and the poor more poor, and warn out. If you start at the bottom of
our society it is hard to get back up. Don’t get me wrong though if your at the
top its just as easy to slip off. Are we all happy as Americans? Personally I
think not I feel as if we are fed up with the he said or she said, finding
total happiness in today’s society I believe its damn near impossible.
I
agree how today’s education is ran as if it were a factory, kids all the same
age groups go in everyday and study and work for a chance to go to college and
be successful. Just because you have that degree does not automatically pay
off, Its hard to get a job in a certain specialized field. Which is no good if
you go to school for twenty plus years including grade school through graduate
school. And still not have a job, how does this make you happy. To find happiness
you have to find it on your own not what they say (government, boss, mother,
father, and teachers ect.) Its what you do or how you interpret life. We are in
desperate need for a 21st
century enlightenment.
