GOV 26.60 Political Satire
CAVEAT LECTOR:
Although humor is the mechanism of satire, you may find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with some themes concerning this post? Where do you stand on your political beliefs?
Political satire is a type of satire that specializes in gaining entertainment from politics. Political satire can also act as a tool for advancing political arguments in conditions where political speech and dissent are banned.
Political satire has played a role in American Politics since the 1700s. Under King George’s rule, the colonies used political cartoons to criticize the parliament and fight for independence. Founding father Benjamin Franklin was a notable political satirist. He employed satire in several essays, including Rules by Which a Great Empire May Be Reduced to a Small One and A Witch Trial at Mount Holly.
Cartoons continued to provide commentary on American politics. In the late 1800s, editorial cartoonist Thomas Nast employed political satire to tackle issues like corruption. Amongst other notable political satirists is well-known author Mark Twain, who used satire to criticize and comment on slavery.
See how political satire still exists in today’s political environment. Are you able to recognize the intent and purpose of the following videos?

GOV 26.25 The Enlightenment – Leads to REVOLUTION (Summary)
Summary
The Enlightenment, sometimes called the Age of Reason, sought to shine the “light” of reason on traditional ideas about government and society. Enlightenment thinkers promoted goals of material well-being, social justice, and worldly happiness. Their ideas about government and society stood in sharp contrast to the old principles of divine-right rule, a rigid social hierarchy, and the promise of a better life in heaven. Since the 1700s, Enlightenment ideas have spread, creating upheaval as they challenge established traditions around the world.
