Prayer to St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is discord, unity; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.
O Diving Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen

Economic Changes and the Social OrderCulture in an Enlightened Age
New Economic Patterns Height of the Enlightenment (1750)- Population boom
Lowering Death rate- Not as much disease Better Diet- More Food- Longer Life- More people
Better Diet is due to new products from America-corn & potato How does this fit with Economics?????
Other Industries- Textiles- what is that? #1 product Mostly rural production— Cottage industry—
Spinners / weavers worked from their home
Emergence of Global Trade- Americas (Gold / plantations products) to Europe Europe used Gold to buy spices and tea from China Europe traded manufactured goods to Africa for slaves
Economic Changes and the Social Order
Culture in an Enlightened Age European Society in the Eighteenth Century
Social Order was not changed up to the 18th century Vast majority of Europeans- peasants / Rural 85% Huge difference between Eastern / Western Europe
In the East peasants tied to the land- perpetuate absolutism How much has all of this change affected their lives???
Nobles made up 2-3% of Europe’s population Not taxed, made up govt & military positions
Towns were small- townspeople were smaller group Italy, Dutch, Britain were only nations who had significant towns Ruled by Patrician oligarchies– wealthy rentiers--laborers

Colonial Empires and Revolution in the Western Hemisphere
Remember the age of Exploration. Who is colonizing where? What was their attitude when they got there?

tobacco European landowners created large estates growing these crops Huge demand for labor- kept Natives/Slaves poor- referred to as
peons Still an element of today’s Latin American society

Spain/Portugal creating large empires (300 years) Distance / Communication / Supplies- difficult to hold Created a system in which minority of Europeans ruled
Created a society based pre-enlightenment ideas. These Europeans had a great deal of autonomy (Absolutism) Viceroys ruled over portions of these empires
Their Children- Creoles- had great economic/education opp.
Both of these nations were Catholic- Church was powerful Movement to convert Indians to Christianity Missions were built to educate and Christianize The Church built hospitals, orphanages, schools- done it before Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz—author fought for womens rights
