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

High Culture vs Popular Culture
What does that mean?
•High Culture is the literary & artistic culture of the
educated and wealthy.

•Popular Culture is the written and unwritten culture of
the masses of which has traditionally been passed down
orally.
•By the 18th century- with more people reading, this
distinction begins to blend
•Published grew 10 x- new books, magazines,
newspapers
•Popular Culture define by poor
•Defining characteristic- communal festival--Carnival.

Height of the Enlightenment (1750)- Population boom


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
