Write a short essay (of 80-100 words) based on a critical reflection on the period, The Age of Enlightenment and Revolution. You may relate it to suggested questions (in the PPT); what is your school of thoughts? What are your values,and why?
Remember to relate it to the understanding of the era; The Age of Enlightenment and Revolution.
This period makes me think of the current situation in Singapore now. Our culture has taught us not to question, but in recent years, Singaporeans are questioning the government. (Take for example; we are increasing the ministers’ salaries. Like the age of reason, Singaporeans question and now think of their own solutions to their questions evident through the blog called the Singapore Dissident. A television programme called: ‘Singapore Talking’ where Singaporeans can express their views. However, to what extent I wonder are we allowed to go against the system? If we are not careful we might get sued for defamation.
Bibliography
I would like to give appreciation to Miss Sabrina for her Age of Enlightenment power point presentation.
