#3: Response: Enlightenment

These videos really intrigued me because they really mad me think but also visualize what their points were. They are very creative but the subject matter had me swinging from side to side each time a point was made. I can’t really make up my mind whether I agree or disagree so I am going to take somewhat of a neutral approach. I do agree that we have lost to simple plan of how the world is suppose to run. Our society and mainly our government in my opinion has made us all function and believe in certain things, stirring us away from what is most important and initially what created the world we live in today. We are supposed to be based on a trusting and understanding between the people in power and the people that we live around and come across throughout our lives. But society has created a rapidly diverse community. Though diversity is a positive thing in some aspects it shouldn’t come with all the labels, conflicts and competition and degrading of other people. Like the last two articles have discussed we are creating a world for our children that should not function the way that it does. We are simply “sucking the fun,” out of life. We are sucking the breath out of our lives by creating a world that that is based on certain criteria of learning and well-being. Our children are being drugged in my opinion because they can’t focus on all the ridiculous criteria that teachers have to teach within a certain time. Learning isn’t fun anymore and change isn’t either. I always looked at Enlightenment as a positive change to the humankind. Though it may have started that way it certainly hasn’t become that way. All this hopeful positive change has just been creating a black hole of a mess. All these articles show us just what we are doing wrong and they are right. We are being corrupt when really what we need to look at is the basis of it all. We didn’t begin like this and things we moderately well, things were simple and people understood people now people fight and discriminate because sadly it’s all they know. It shouldn’t be all we know it should be what was once the past and we are looking to see it through to a more positive and what was once a good well-being.
