When thinking about what happen during the time of the French Revolution, numerous amounts of things changed in the world today. Paris’s terming of the Bastille was to show not only that the people of Paris wasn’t backing down but they also wanted better conditions for their living. They let everyone including the king know that they were not playing around. They got tired of living the way they did and nothing changed, so the Parisians put in their own hands and stood up for themselves. The world today is like this in the way of politics and economics. People have to fight to get their word across to others and make them understand.
When I was younger and living in North Carolina, people had to fight to get their trash taking up by the trash men and cleaning the streets. The government wouldn’t clean it because of where we were located. A lot of people felt it wasn’t right. That is when people began to talk and eventually it got across and they began to do what the people asked. Sometimes it can bring along riots, just like the riot that broke out over the poor living situation in the French Revolution. The poor living brought along numerous problems like malnutrition and broken down houses.
There are lots of children today that need food and places to live but the government is doing a little something for those children. We have things today that we try to get heard but instead of going to the king we go to the President. The influences of the French Revolution is good because it explains how people got their word across no matter how its done. You might just get your point across. The Scientific Revolution was more about who controlled the world, nature or God. People had different feelings about who did what and it caused confusion.
It made the citizens question the world and wonder about what was around them. Confusion along with question came upon the people even more when philosophers and theorists added their input into it. Many of them talked about nature and others on God. The citizen’s questioned both not knowing who or what to believe but they had to believe one.
Today’s philosophers and theorists are scientist is, doctors, chemist ist, biologists, weathermen, and the weather channel. They let us know what is being created and destroyed, how something can be cured, and what kind of day we are going to have. Even though it all belongs to the one up above, we still listen to them. This influence was good because some of the predictions that may be made could warn us of something bad that’s going to happen.
That way we can be prepared and ready for what’s going to happen.
