The colonial society during the Enlightenment era experienced significant changes in governance, economy, and social structures. The spread of Enlightenment ideas led to challenges to traditional authority, the rise of democratic principles, and increased focus on individual rights and freedoms. This period also saw increased exploitation of colonial resources and populations by European powers.
enlightenment is similar to the Great Awakening because Great Awakening is a movement and so as enlightenment and they are both around 1700s. Actually I Do Believe that Is indeed true, although The Great Awakening Was A Big Part of "Spiritual RELIGION", and The Enlightenment Was Focused On The Physics Of Science, In which was Fairly Different Because There is Based Question's On How we were Really Born Onto Earth. Many people can answer that In A Flash, and other's may say we don't know the answer yet. Why is that? Well The People that can answer that in A snap have a religious answer such as "Well Adam and Eve Were the first humans (As to which I believe is indeed true since I am more into the religious side), and God Created us, and the animals e.t.c;" Scientifically Proven answers..No one has. So to Be honest There is Hardly Any Similarities, in which someone would say Makes a difference or moves anyone's point of view or philosophy. The only similarities there is Was they were Highly Important, and made a difference in our life and society and yes they were in the 1700's..you Didn't help People Much Just saying -_- and I am Just an 8th grader.....
Reason was a major concept in Enlightenment thinking, with philosophers emphasizing the use of reason and logic to understand the world and improve society. Enlightenment thinkers believed that reason could lead to progress, freedom, and the betterment of human society.
Education and scientific discovery
Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal" is exemplary of Enlightenment thinking as it uses satire to criticize societal issues and promote rational solutions. It exposes the absurdity of colonial policies in Ireland and debates about poverty. By proposing a shocking solution to the problem of poverty through cannibalism, Swift challenges readers to think critically about the systemic injustices and moral failings of society, reflecting Enlightenment ideals of reason, logic, and social reform.
Both the Great Awakening and Enlightenment led to people wanting political equality and encouraged people to talk about political and social issue.
THEY ARE BOTH MOVEMENTS AND BOTH WERE IN THE 1700S.

European society and colonial America
The Second Great Awakening had an effect to the people by demostrating to build their lives better and improve society as a whole.
While historically Enlightenment and the great awakening may have a different connotation, in today's perspective Enlightenment and the great awakening refer to the realization of the Truth. Even in the past centuries, when man realized certain wrongs in society, in religion, he revolted against what was going wrong, when he was enlightened to what should be right. Man was awakened because there were so much unfairness, there were so much misery, so much pain and sorrow and man was not willing to accept it. Therefore, there was this moment of enlightenment or the great awakening. But we have to go beyond the past which is over. What is Enlightenment in today's context? It is for us to overcome our ignorance. Awakening is to awaken to the truth and be liberated from all kinds of misery and sorrow.
Both the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment were intellectual and spiritual movements in 18th century America. The Great Awakening focused on emotional, revivalist religious experiences and encouraged individual connection with God, while the Enlightenment promoted reason, science, and rational thinking as means to understanding the world. While both movements sought to challenge traditional authority and encourage personal empowerment, they differed in their approach to knowledge and the role of religion in society.
