Finally?

Have we finally reached the turning point? Have we reached a time where we have truly decided to change and finally acknowledged one of our biggest problems? In the article I have chosen, the author and the supporters seem to think that such a time has finally come upon us as a society. The term, “Enlightenment” was utilized as it was a great way to describe the transition that we have gone under. I am glad to say that I agree completely with both the word and the general outlook that is being depicted. I feel that we have begun to find reasons and perhaps even more important, different outlets to let our voices be heard amongst times that such an ideal seemed impossible. I also think that those details really make the most difference. We no longer have the excuse of being unable to find ways to give our best efforts in regards to how we find ways to approach situations that are in need of change or improvement. It seems that perhaps the hardest obstacle is finally from out in front of us, and the only thing we can do now is simply improve in how we manifest out message into a social change. This is a time that is beautiful and truly one to enjoy as we help other reap the benefits of a community that we have helped created for ourselves. This article might be old in comparison to others, but it sure is one that really depicted a great turning point.
