Such as expanding the woman's rights movement during her time. She fought that woman's education shouldn't come second to men's education and how woman deserve the opportunity at  work in "male dominated jobs". Now today most woman are working in politics and  as doctors/nurses and are able to have the same education as a man and create a life for themselves instead of relying on men. ]]> 2021-01-14 20:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089065737 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089093234 in my opinion I believe Mary Astell ideas had the greatest impact. She wrote and published a book that addressed the lack of opportunities for women  especially in education. She used the arguments in the enlightenment to criticize unequal rights for women and men and how all should be treated equally. Her ideas addressed how the relationship between men and women were very unequal. She also said if all men were born free why is it that all women were born slaves? This idea still impacts us today.]]> 2021-01-14 20:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089093234 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089113966 I think John Locke was the enlightenment thinker who made the most important contribution because he wanted everything for his people. He wanted his people to live happily and the way they wanted. He said we are reasonable beings and we can govern our own affairs. He also said we are born free and we all have equality in our liberty and equality in our property. Those lines and John Locke's ideas  influenced Thomas Jefferson in writing the Declaration of Independence.]]> 2021-01-14 20:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089113966 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089114570 In my opinion, Cesare Bonesana Beccaria had the greatest impact. His greatest contribution is that he abolished torture. He argued the degree of punishment should befit the crime and he criticized the abuses of justice and irregular proceedings of trials. This influenced many governments include U.S.. An obvious evidence is that there's no torture in the laws of U.S and convicted person also has rights. Below is the picture of Beccaria.]]> 2021-01-14 20:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089114570 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089116042 Mary Wollstonecraft had the greatest impact because she was self taught by reading books. She wanted women to get the right education so she can do things that at the time were mostly for men. She wanted women to take the jobs that men have such as medicine and politics. She wanted women to do all the things that men say they can't do.

She wrote book and addressed all of the educational opportunities women have missed. She talks about all the unequal treatment between men and women and how it is not right. And This is still a struggle that women have face everyday. ]]> 2021-01-14 20:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089121065 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089131167 I chose Mary Astell because I feel she made a point that women and men should have equal relations.In her words, "Men are born free, and women are born into slavery,"Which means men really don't have the same equality as women.Men have more freedom towards what type of work they do.]]> 2021-01-14 20:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089131167 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089131790 I think the Philosophes had the most important contribution because they came up with the 5 key concepts that we use in our everyday life and we need to keep us going as humans. They said that we need reason, nature, progress, happiness and liberty. We mostly need happiness and they said that we need to focus on our happiness in the present day and not in the future, not in our second life and our after life.  The Philosophes believed we could apply reason to all of our aspects of life. It is important because we need to focus on our happiness and the 5 key concepts of our life in the present and not in the future. ]]> 2021-01-14 20:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089131790 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089141800 I believe that John Locke had the greatest impact because  he believe the all people were born free and equal.  With his ideas he puts the people first because he believes that people can overturn the government if they are not happy with something.  That's why  a lot of  his ideas  and found in the Declaration of Independence . This is important because Americans love freedom and having a say the  in what happens. Without John ideas  Declaration of Independence could of gone different because it was hugely  influence by John Locke  ideas.

He believed that the people were born free and equal and that the government was created to protect those rights.  He argued that is the government wasn’t able to do so, the people were the ones who would then be able to over turn the government. Because of these ideas he influenced the western government, particularly the Declaration of Independence in the US. ]]> 2021-01-14 20:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089172366 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089181820 Mary Wallstonracft made the most important contribution. She argued that women also need education and not just men. She also encouraged women to join into fields like medicine and politics. Which in fact, are male-dominated fields. This is important because women have the chance to prove and are capable of doing much more. Mary proved that women do not have to rely on men, as they can be independent. ]]> 2021-01-14 20:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089181820 https://padlet.com/mbrown628/ta02ieqk476z7vhd/wish/1089193922 I believe the Philosophes had the greatest impact because their belief of reason can be applied to many important aspects of our daily life. An example of this is happiness, which is of course important for everyday life, and how we should solely focus on happiness in this life. It could also tie into many other enlightenment thinkers ideas and meshes it into something simple, yet effective. For example, it could be tied into women's rights for the liberty and progress aspects of reason. Here is a picture of the Philosophes.
