When I get home, I am going to brush my teeth.
The Enlightenment or Age of Reason was the predominant philosophical movement in the 18th century. Enlightenment philosophers based their ideas in reason as the main source of power. They were very skeptical of the power of the Catholic Church and monarchies as they believed that science and reason were essential to empower people. The most famous Enlightenment philosophers were Kant, Adam Smith, and Voltaire. The main ideas spread during this period were freedom, tolerance and learning.
The Enlightenment Era started after the Dark Middle Ages and preceded the Romantic Period.
If we consider the speech of Barack Obama, when he leaves the presidency of the United States of America, we will believe that there is reason to believe that democracy is threatened.
According to Obama, there are currently 3 threats to democracy, the first of which are forces such as terrorism, increased inequality and demographic changes that threaten the country's security, solidarity and prosperity, but these same forces also threaten democracy
. if opportunities are not created for all people in the country, division and dissatisfaction will only become clearer in the coming years, threatening democracy.
Obama also highlighted a second threat, which is the racial issue. "So if we're going to be serious about the racial issue, then we need to maintain anti-discrimination laws - in hiring, housing, education, and the criminal justice system." Said the former president who pointed out that only laws will not suffice to resolve the racial issue. "Hearts must change. It will not be a change overnight." Social attitudes sometimes take generations to change".
Obama also mentioned a third threat to democracy, which is when a group of similar people joins a bubble, be it a community, a church, a social network or a college, and that group brings together similar people with the same political vision. One person never questions the other's hypotheses.
