The Enlightenment in Europe and the Americas brought me to think about different perspectives especially in philosophy and society.  One of the greatest movements all around the world, the enlightenment tells how people are changing their mind.  They do not feel that they are belonging to their monarchy anymore instead they want to have their own authority.  People are seeking more goods, rationality, and practical mechanisms that it brought about “the Industrial Revolution”, “American Revolution”, and more.

To apply this act into our life, we can vote for our president and we are seeking more pleasure.  Personally, I do not believe the Enlightenment occurred since not only people’s changing mind, but also inventions became more primarily issues.  The idea that pleasure is mainly settled in our life.  Furthermore, philosophical ideas are declining and now practical is getting popular.  Although, a lot of philosophical thinkers like Decartes and David Hume navigated ideal theories and thoughts to people, I think that it is not enough to persuade people getting into more theoretical things because as time goes by, people want to eliminate their dislike opinions and acts.
