The Enlightenment and the Great Awakening both significantly shaped modern Western thought and society. The Enlightenment emphasized reason, individualism, and scientific inquiry, challenging traditional authority and fostering democratic ideals, which laid the groundwork for political revolutions. Conversely, the Great Awakening revitalized religious fervor in the American colonies, promoting personal faith and emotional experiences, and encouraging a sense of shared identity among diverse groups. Together, these movements contributed to a culture of questioning established norms and seeking personal and collective empowerment.
