The Enlightenment raised the knowledge of all human beings are equal, and of human could control the nature for gaining their own profits.

The Enlightenment contributed to decreasing discrimination among humans such as sex and race. The sense which women’s education and women’s social right in and outside home are required began at that time. For example, women were participated in intellectual works by writing books in the late seventeenth century. Today, it is hard to find any case that women cannot be educated due to their sex. Even they are more active in diverse area than men. Discrimination between men and women has been relieved when it compares to the previous ages. However, no one says that discrimination doesn’t exist anymore. We keep trying to reduce discrimination between sexes. This also can be a reason, a premise, and pre-step to a result and a conclusion. Our society has rapidly changed all the time based on those cause and effect.

Also, the Enlightenment enable us to think that we can control the nature’s power. Scientists have defined the unexplained nature with human’s words, equations, and logic. Then, people have understood knowledge and used them to manipulate the nature. The big problem is that human tend to act like God as nature is properties which human already own. It means that people want to control the nature too much for economic profits. Positive effects of developed sciences surely exist. However, the false sense which human can control of nature is destroying the Earth. We have a right to preserve our environments for our following generations.

Current Government’s political actions led by Donald Trump look like disregarding the equal human rights and over-controlling the nature for only economic profits. The United States have a various of cultures which immigrants have established. However, the government is trying to expel them from the States. It looks like reasonable just in case current political actions will protect the U.S from terrorism and solve the problem of unemployment of U.S. citizen. But Trump’s executive orders cannot be judged with fairness and equality of human rights. In addition, the government with Trump deregulate the environmental policy to raise economic growth. Economic status, money, is not only criteria to define who has the better qualified life. I think that the government has enough time to find a better way to figure out current issues in the United State. I hope the government tries to hear people’s voices.
