History

In the 18th Century, Democracy:

  • a. Meant, in general, that government should serve the needs of the people as a whole, not just a moneyed elite.
  • b. Had several meanings, some from ancient texts.
  • c. Was feared by some leaders who associated it with mob rule.

In the 18th century, Europe was still ruled by a lot of absolute monarchies where the monarchs controlled the nations as they pleased and nobles were extremely powerful.

Thanks to the Enlightenment however, people had began to advocate for democracy which:

  • To many meant that the government should be taking care of all its citizens not just the royals and the elite
  • Was feared by many rulers as they felt it would take away their power to rule as they please
  • Had other meanings as relating to ancient texts from societies like the Greeks and Romans

In conclusion, democracy in the 18th century might have been a new concept to the Europeans, but it was supported by the commoners and had several meanings.

Where is a modern day golden age society?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>I think western society is in its golden age. I think this because it has spread to every continent on the face of the planet. Music usually associated with western culture is pop, rock, and my of course country music. Intellectually western society usually offers free public education but colleges normally cost to money attend. You can also acquire a scholarship by other means or receive a grant and study at a college for a reduced price or entirely free. Western medicine can be good and bad. Yes we now have more powerful and concentrated medicines that can help or treat problems but a lot of them have some undesired side effects due to their chemical nature. Also modern western medicine practitioners for some reason underestimate natural medicines when natural medicine should always be considered first before taking a man made substance. In western society politics and economics run hand in hand quite a bit since powerful politicians have a big influence not just in western economy but in world economy but like any other economy western economy is mainly maintained through trade. Most westernized countries carry a form of democracy similar to the one the United States was formed under. Politicians are elected into congress by peoples votes and then after they are elected they can run for higher offices if they wish much like climbing a ladder. Social developments from western society are things like the idea that we all have rights, like a right to free speech, equal treatment, and a fair trial as long as you didn’t do a crime against the government or foreign interest group, like a bank. The United States has hundreds of charities that help people and children in need we also fund the red cross. Other social developments are things like social networking like Facebook, youtube, or reddit , they are websites that help people connect and communicate as well as share pictures or videos.</span>
