Society is what carves us as human beings. Its with us all the time, from the day we are born until our last day on earth we conform to society. The proof behind this is the way we think, the choices we make, the things we do. All of this has been influenced by society. We don’t just proceed and do spontaneous things throughout life without thinking of the judgement and consequences from what society has molded and spit out at us.

Society has played many valuable roles within the many periods throughout history. One important one being the Enlightenment period. This thought that men and women were created equally was brought about during the time period. This period brought about the starting of a revolution in America. It brought women together and they became equal with men. Gaining the same opportunities offered to the male race, such as jobs and writing books. Women were not the only ones affected by this period.

The Enlightenment Period led to the American Revolution. This period wasn’t only about standing up for ones self but becoming knowledgable and knowing you do not have to always conform to what is taught to you. One of the most important periods in American history. It led to Americans defending themselves against unfair acts of taxation from Britain and having a voice.  No matter where you are or what you’re doing society has a say in the choices you make. Society may not approve of going against the “norm” but its bound to happen just like it did during the Enlightenment period.
